Good, safe location. Clean and with AC, TV, WiFi, and good breakfast. Place has an interesting decor - almost art-deco. Remember this is a 3Star place so don't expect the Ritz. Staff try their best. Try not to get a room at the back on the 2nd and 3rd floors as the drunking karaoke singers - well they can't sing and at 2:30-4am it really is not what you wnat to hear.

I checked in quite early from my early morning flight and was exhausted. I checked in at 6am and asked if there was a room available (booked through agoda.com at PhP2070+) and they accommodated me (thankfully). The receptionist trainee was inexperienced and still needs practice on what to say, what to do and how to do it fast but i guess it was ok since there was a manager guiding him. I used my credit card to pay for the deposit fee of 2000 but they said it was declined (used it the next day in another shop and it was working fine). I paid cash for the deposit.

The bell boy was very helpful. Turned on the A/C, removed the comforter on the bed and then checked that everything is in order. You have to check the bar list and sign on another receipt that the fridge had the right contents. At check out, he hailed me a cab too. The staff had smiles most of the time.

It is a budget hotel and the room was ok. In the bathroom, there were (I think) soap stains on the soap and cup holders. There was no complimentary drinking water. No safe too but you can ask front desk to keep your valuables.

I liked the location since it was close to the US Embassy where my business was. There is a Chowking restaurant and a 7-11 convenience store next door. A Starbucks is across the street and Robinson's mall was within walking distance (left to UN Avenue then right in Orosa).

You have to climb a few steps to get to the elevator. Request for a quiet room if preferred. I stayed in a room near a street but it wasn't an issue for me.

The hotel is quite old but is cheaper than the other hotels near the area, the bathroom is okay but you can see that it is quite old as the fixture and the toilet bowl says it all. There is only 1 elevator and when we got there it does not work but it is not a big deal since we are only on the 2nd floor.

The room is small but cozy, it is good for a night stay. The breakfast is not buffet but western kind of breakfast, it is also delicious.

What is good with this hotel is the location, it is near to the Manila Bay, near 7-11, Starbucks and some other restaurants. It is also a 5-10 minute drive going to a mall named Robinsons Place Manila..

It is accessible to public transportation such as taxi and jeepneys.

The hotel is fine for its price. They also allowed us to check-in by 6 am without any reservations.

I will stay here again if I need to.

The photo depictions of the hotel through their website is quite deceptive. I booked my 3 nights at the beginning of my stay in Manila and another 3 nights on my last nights in Manila through Agoda.com. I stayed for the first three nights but opted to stay at another hotel on my last three nights, choosing to forfeit what I suspected was a non-refundable last three nights. I found the hotel very old. The carpets are too worn out and the walls of the room that I was given needed a fresh paint. Attempts to open the curtains were very unsuccessful. The room is too small and cramp and there was fetid smell that came from the bathroom. The bed was too hard and it would have been more comfortable to sleep on a concrete floor than its lumpy hard mattress.

The staff were semi-attentive and the restaurant food is below average. I will have to be paid a handsome amount to stay again in this hotel.
