Pros: Location. It’s right in front of Manila Bay so you can catch the world-famous Manila Bay sunset. In the morning, you can walk or jog along Roxas Boulevard with tons of others. I actually found the morning crowd here festive. There are nearby local and foreign food establishments, and Malate is only a few minutes’ walk away. The room is decent, with complete amenities such as a minibar, fridge, and toiletries. For the price, I was surprised to find a bathtub. The staff was nice. Cons: We were given a room with a malfunctioning water heater so we asked to switch rooms. We were given the Suite (located at the right wing if you’re facing Manila Bay), which I thought was better because there was a balcony and full view of the Manila Bay. However, come nighttime, we could hear the music from the bars nearby. Not ideal if you wanna get some good night's sleep! Meanwhile, the rooms on the left wing doesn’t offer any view. Pity because the windows are large but you only get to see the wall of the building next door. But at least, in this side, you don’t hear the noise outside. I don’t remember the hotel rooms exactly, so I guess you just have to take a lucky pick? :-p I seriously hope they have solved this problem by now.

“Not so affordable hotel”

We booked this for a wedding way in advanced so we can get the early bird rate. Online booking was in USD so we thought it's okay to book an 88USD and 100USD if I will base it to the current conversion, even if I round it off to 43 because it was 40 at the time. Everything was excellent at first.… Più

We booked this for a wedding way in advanced so we can get the early bird rate. Online booking was in USD so we thought it's okay to book an 88USD and 100USD if I will base it to the current conversion, even if I round it off to 43 because it was 40 at the time. Everything was excellent at first. They allowed us to have an ocular prior to booking. And on the day they booked us on the same floor. Almost all requests that I put during the online booking was granted. We had a good night and everything was set for the wedding. They also didn't charged us for the extra time Since we left at around 2pm. As I said everything was perfect even the buffet is okay for a small hotel its really not bad. The thing that surprised us was their usd conversion was way higher and that we were charged for using the phone just to call within Manila. We were astounded because the phone bill was almost 500 and they didn't even put a sign that every call even not ndd or idd will be charged accordingly. Ive been in many hotels here and in abroad and its preposterous to charge local calls! Sad to say, I will not recommend this hotel as we felt we were robbed. We thought it was a wise decision that its affordable but call it hidden charge or false advertisement... I will never go back.
