Stayed there for 2 nights and enjoyed their service and its location. They provide complimentary airport-hotel transfer and vice-versa. Though their room needs refurbishment and had seen better days. The buffet breakfast which was included in our accomodation was great, had lots of choices, but repeats everyday, if you're staying for more than 1 night , try not to eat... more

I have probably stayed in the Royal Mandaya six or eight times in the past 5 years, but this time I found a significant decline in the standard of service and general staff attiutude, almost like it is a different hotel under different owners. They forgot to send the offered shuttle to meet me at the airport, so I waited... more

The hotel rooms were just ok, TV remote never worked and room was very basic. The service was the worst I have ever seen. I have traveled many places and I found the staff at this hotel to be rather stuffy. I will say some of the service people were very helpful but the front desk..... those people need to... more

My parents and I stayed at the Royal Mandaya for a week while in Davao. The hotel was okay...a little old, but the service made our stay absolutely amazing! We had breakfast downstairs every day, and everyone who worked there knew us by name. They were more than helpful when we had any question or needed suggestions about what to... more

This is my second visit to the most peaceful city in the Philippines, Davao, I stayed at Marco Polo in my last visit, this time I wanted to try another hotel, so I chosed Royal Mandaya and that's the most stupid decision I made in the Philippines! Bad things 1. Check in process is very late and staffs looked as... more

For its rate, the Lobby has served its puropose. It's nicely done. Unfortunately, the staff were not that friendly, they were accomodating so many guests at the time of my check-in. Could this be the reason of their unfriendliness, I am not that sure. They were very pre-occupied with so many papers, vouchers, receipts and whatsoever. There were times when... more

Royal Mandaya has a decent lobby upon entrance. The staff are quite friendly. The complimentary breakfast is ok.The rooms are decent size but are pretty dark and old looking. It's definitely not a modern style hotel. Overall, you're not staying at a luxurious resort or a 4 star hotel (basing it on US standards). It's a hotel that gets the... more

I had the unfortunate experience of having stayed at the Royal Mandaya twice in three weeks. I had no choice but to comply since it was management's mandate to use the said hotel. It was great to have complimentary airport pick-up especially in such a large city like Davao. It was made more pleasant given the size of the mini-bus... more

When I visited Davao last June 2006, I had the misfortune of booking my mom and my brother to the Royal Mandaya Hotel since it is a little bit cheaper than the Marco Polo (where I stayed since I am on a business trip). The hotel is impressive from the outside. The lobby is also beautiful. Staff are polite and... more
