SM Megamall is just two blocks away, Podium is right across the street. Pancake House is a few steps away from the hotel’s lobby; 7-Eleven on the next block; & another convenience store around the corner. Bottomline, if you don’t like the food from the hotel, there are a lot of other options.
Conveniently located in the shopping and eating area of Ortigas Manila. Rooms need desperate upgrading; newer towels for rusted bathrooms. Staff is good!
Room is okay, nice and clean. Breakfast is not that good.
ROOM SMELL LIKE SEWAGE. NOT CLEAN, SERVICE HORRIBLE. I STILL HAD ONE DAY ;EFT ON MY RESERVATION BUT I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY TO FIND BETTER HOTEL. FURNITURE IS OLD
We always stay here on our way to/from other provinces for the night from Seattle.
Stayed here the first night in Manila and then checked out for a few days then checked back in for 10 days. The hotel staff at check-in were awesome and friendly each time. No problem getting help with my baggage to the room and back at the end of the stay. Very helpful getting a taxi or van rental when needed. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean with a view as stated.
I booked 1 BR Suite and 1 Deluxe Room. Arrived late in the evening and was greeted warmly by staff. Reached our rooms and looks not properly maintained. In our 1 BR Suite the door doesnt close sometimes and then noticed a screw fell which apparently had been stopping the door from closing properly. Towel set up is noticeably been setting there for a long time because of the different smell - certainly not a fresh linen. The Deluxe Room had an ample space, bigger than those i stayed before in other hotels i stayed in that area. TV however couldnt get a channel and need to have an expert in TV box to operate it.
I was a little bothered that I had to leave a php5000 deposit that I was never informed about until I checked in because I didn't purchase our meals with the room.
Stay was alright, I wish they have a bar in the hotel
Area was very convenient for shopping and dining all within walking distance. Staff were helpful. The room and dining area (especially the lower level) need an interior decorator intervention very badly. I wish the common areas were also airconditioned. Wifi was great except only one user per room. Bring your own house slippers & bathrobes.
hotel was not that good i booked the room and didnt realize that it was without breakfast ,for that price you can stay in other hotels in better location and include breakfast.the wi fi was very very bad as you can use only 1 device per room.my husband and had to take turn to get connect to wi fi.it was stupid.
The hotel room is quite roomier, cleaner and better than expected. Look for it the place to stay with many anemities available.Efficiency hotel room type accomodation like your at home. Reservation & Check In/out Front Desk staff, helpful, accommodating and courteous.
Hotel has great location. Very accessible. Close to shops, restaurants, etc.
Everything you could ask for in a 5 Star hotel at a very affordable price. Staff very eager and friendly to assist with anything to make your stay more enjoyable.
This hotel has a great location. Across the street from Podium Mall and near Shangrila Mall. Very friendly staff and the room is comfortable and quiet. Great place to stay for business trips or leisure.
Convenient place to stay, walking distance to shopping area and restaurants. Accessible to public transportation and staff are helpful. This is my third time to stay in this hotel.
Worth for a day/night stay. Good staff. Great breakfast buffet.
I expected a 4-star hotel when I arrived but unfortunately the amenities were old and not very good. However, the hotel staff was helpful and the room was comfortable and aesthetic.
The room includes everything you need for a nice stay. It has a little kitchen with a refrigerator, small stove and a electric kettle. It is located at a 10 min leisurely walk from SM Megmall or Robison's Ortigas. The breakfast was good. There is a nice pool on the 33rd floor.
This is a condo hotel. Buffet breakfast was below par with limited selections. The fitness center was in the top floor and no elevator to get there, but after hard walk of stairs of three floors, I found that the entrance was locked by a key. Internet signal was very weak and one room one device made two computers access to Internet very inconvenient. I will stay here again.
