I spent a few days at this property and was initially a bit skeptical due to the incredibly low price—it seemed almost too good to be true. Typically, in the Philippines, you get what you pay for, but I was pleasantly surprised. While the building and furnishings are a bit dated, the wooden floors and furniture give off a charming, old-world vibe that feels very homey. They provide all the basic amenities like a dental kit, soap, shampoo, and other toiletries. The room I stayed in didn’t have a window, but that didn’t bother me at all. The internet connection was excellent, which was a big plus. The location is fantastic, conveniently close to the airport, with public transport options readily available, and plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. A couple of areas for improvement would be: 1) Enhancing the customer service skills of the staff (though they were generally fine). 2) Ensuring the breakfast food quality remains consistent (the first two days were great, but the third day’s meal didn’t quite match the previous ones). Overall, I would definitely choose this property again for a short trip to Manila.

I only spent Php347, which is incredibly affordable. Honestly, it's important to keep your expectations in check considering the price. When I got there, I was a bit surprised to find the front desk had to knock on my door. That’s when I realized I had booked a female dorm. I was a little unsure about staying since the cabinet for my things didn’t have a lock. I really needed one because I planned to be out all day running errands and going to a concert. It felt like a bit of a gamble leaving my luggage in an unlocked cabinet. Regarding the facilities, there was just one bathroom and one shower room. They weren't the cleanest, but they were functional. The bidet, flush system, and heater all worked well. I managed to get a good night's sleep, likely because the air conditioning in the room was working perfectly—and I was also quite exhausted from the day. After I checked out, they promptly cleaned my bed for the next guest. TL;DR: For the price I paid, it was genuinely a decent experience.
