They not only screwed up my reservation and offered a much worse room in a nearby (sister) hotel. I had no choice late evening after a long bus ride. To add insult to injury they charged me for online booking as if I had made the reservation and did not show up.

Although this is a budget hotel the hotel services and access to local services and activities are excellent; robinsons shopping mall is nearby as are many bars and restaurants including many with...

This place is a good budget Hotel which is central to many things you may wish to do in Manila. Close to major tourist attractions such as Intramurous and Rizal Park! Many amenities are also very close by such as laundry, Money Changers and plenty of ATMs! Friendly staff and the oversight by the owner/Manager Terry makes sure things run... More

Just stayed at this hotel, for two nights. Should have checked out five minutes after checking in. They demanded full payment up front cash. No credit cards. Was given a room on the five floor next to the lift, which is very noisy. The toilet left a big pool of water on the floor after flushing, the shower curtain was... More
