Rooms were clean and the location is great near the mall, The shower head pressure was great unlike many other hotels in the area, For many years I've stayed slightly more expensive hotels around the corner (palm plaza, Executive plaza and las Palmas) This hotel is more affordable and I can honestly say the rooms were nicer, We stayed on the 3rd floor and the a/c was on so we didn't hear the nightlife noise outside, The hotel Staff was great also.
My room was located opposite a bar. The walls and the windows are paper thin. The first night, I could hear the bar patrons talking and laughing till 5:00 in the morning. The second night, there was a birthday party and the music did not stop till 1:30am. I had ear plugs on and I can still hear the noise. I asked the front desk to change my room, and was told that the hotel was full. I am sure that the management are aware of the noise problem, and choose to not sound proof the rooms. I believe that karma will follow them, and they will have worse experience than what I went through. Wish I had spent more money for a better hotel.
Stayed for 3 nights there and gave up. Changed to another hotel as the hotel staff at Hostel 1632 were very unfriendly especially the ladies staff. Wi-fi not stable and the room i stayed is space constraint. After many years of travelling to the Philippines (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao areas), so far this is the only accommodation that I've stayed in Philippines that has poor service from staff. What a disappointment.
Staff of the hostel are courteous and friendly. Location is good due to its proximity to Robinsons Malate, several night spots and restaurants from cheap to more classy. There are rooms which are non-smoking. Choose rooms far from the elevator coz sometimes guests who arrive late at night drag their luggage on the hallway which may disturb your sleep.
Budget hotel with the usual amenities. Small but clean rooms. Space was maximized. Location is perfect. Near restaurants and Robinson's Place Manila. Airport about 30-45 min away. Near Intramuros, heritage churches, SM Mall of Asia.
This hostel is not a hostel but a good hotel. Rooms are sold by ZENrooms. The hotel is 300 merers away from Malate's famous,Robinson Mall. It has 5floors with elevator and a small nicely made cafe. Rooms are not big but very high, so there is a feeling of big space. The bed is queen size, bed and linen are of best quality (heavy linen, bed sheet) Towels are of heavy quality too. Room design is fresh and modern, rooms are not run down but in very good condition. wifi is free of charge. Only downside, the refrigerator and the bath room are of the same size...Rooms made up daily, staff is friendly and competent. Breakfast is a bit too expensive.
I have a friend who used to work in the Hostel,and because of that I was able get a room with a discounted rate. I've been staying with them everytime that I visit Manila,it's accessible,the Robinson's Mall is nearby,the staff are really nice,the food is delicious especially their buffalo wings. The room that was given to me is clean and it feels like home,in short excellent! Hostel 1632 is highly recommended and will definitely be back.
small hotel with small rooms with 2 beds.a double and a single and a very small toilet but clean.The staff are friendly,the breakfast portion are too small as well. Location is good as its located near Robinsons ermita. The room im staying in is the front facing the street but i couldnt hear the street noise. convient store is just around the corner.
The rooms were narrow and small but it served it purpose for us. It was clean and the air-conditioning were fine and so were the shower. The location is quite central if you wish to go to Makati or Pasay. Taxis easily available almost anytime. Robinson mall just 3 minutes walk away.
At first glance, you would think: I will get what I paid for, but for its price, your getting more. Priced at P1800/night or around $35/night, it is really a very good deal. The place is nice and quiet and is clean and well maintained. The airconditioning is good and it has refs in the room. It is near to most of the places I always go to like MOA, Manila Ocean Park, Divisoria, Quiapo Church, Luneta Park and much more. Only downside is you have to pay for parking when you have a car with you. But overall, you get more for what you have paid for.
