The hotel has been nicely remodeled and the rooms are clean and well appointed. There’s nothing else in terms of amenities - no restaurant, cafe, or anything else - but there are plenty available in the neighborhood. I would stay there again, but would request a room not overlooking the road. The traffic noise just can’t be blocked out. I had to change rooms after a noisy first night, but the staff were very gracious about it.

A great little hotel of Thai or East Asia vibes. There's some effort put into architecture and construction making it a relaxing and cozy place of rest. A good find to be in Manila with good value for the price. Staff helpful and I had a courtesy. The only things to improve a bit is that there should be a 24 hrs service at front desk instead of as of now 6am-11pm. There could perhaps be a need of change of toilets since they are of the older type. Had some minor issues with them. For the noise sensitive: To be in Manila and especially in that area it is relatively quiet. You'd hear a garbage truck for 10-15 mins from about 6-7am in mornings from some viewless rooms. Not the view rooms to the Mendoza road. There's some other smaller sounds outside the building to be heard at times. But not from the building itself. It's remarkable quiet between doors normally.

An amazing city hotel

My stay was amazing !! The hotel is in a really good location meaning that getting a grab to tourist attractions is really cheap. The staff on the reception desk were so helpful and also allowed me to get an early check in to my room after getting a night flight to Manila. The room was very comfortable. The wifi unfortunately doesn’t reach the rooms but that wasn’t really an issue for me. The only other thing I would mention is that the address of the hotel given is actually across the road from the hotel so don’t be alarmed if you get a taxi to the address and can’t see the hotel - it’s a little further up the road on the other side but very easy to see.

5 Stars from me. This is an excellent place located very close to the University of Santo Tomas (where I needed to be). It was my second visit, as I consider that the overall value, for the price paid, is superb. Very clean rooms - adequate for purpose. The staff at reception are lovely and always willing to help. Security guards are efficient, professional and extremely helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to other travelers. If only they could improve the quality of the Wi-Fi in the rooms it would be perfect. I would happily pay a bit more for good room WiFi. Having said that, the Wi-Fi in the Lobby is excellent, so I downloaded Netflix Films in the Lobby, to watch in my room. Thanks again Oriental Zen for an exceptionally good value experience.

Remodelling of the property is needed. Bigger bathrooms with AC. I didn't have a window & my circadian rhythym was getting messed up. Would be best if the whole place moved to another location because it's in a terrible spot. No dining options. They would not let me check in 2 hrs ahead of time even though the room was ready. Terrible. Phils is not now I had to go around to pass time & come back to check in... 😐😏 The staff was nice but the room was not.

You get what you pay for

I didn’t expect much from the hotel, since I only needed a place to stay in the area. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. I noticed that the lobby didn’t have any airconditioning. When I got to my room, the furnishing was very basic, with crooked cabinet doors and creaking headboard. There was a toothbrush packaging left at the base of the sink maybe from a previous occupant. Air-conditioning was a window-type model, which was working well, but couldn’t handle the heat coming in from the windows spaces (not insulated). The ad said there would be a Queen-sized bed, but I was surprised to see 2 single beds joined together. I hurt my knee on the wooden bed frame in between the beds. The wifi was almost non-existent. I actually chose this hotel over another one because they claimed there was free in-room wifi.
