Hotel berhampiran Visaya Amusement Corporation Peso Fun Game, Marikina

I stayed for two nights in December as I was going to watch the UP Lantern Parade and I needed a place to stay in while I was in QC. I didn't have any expectations booking here, but the photos seem to be good enough. When I arrived, I'm pretty content with the room, very spacious, looks a bit outdated, but I can deal with it. Seems clean too. My only issue with the room was the shower drain. The shower floor was tilted on the opposite side of the drain, so the water was collecting to one side instead of the actual drain. I stayed in the standard double room. I noticed based on the room images projected on their reception area that the deluxe room seems to have one less dresser cabinet so it seems like the standard is a better option, unless the deluxe has bigger beds. Staff are very nice, they always greeted me when I come and go. Contrary to the previous reviews (which was from a year ago), they now accept credit card for payment. They do need P1000 for deposit, which you can get back when you check out, so it's better if you provide cash as reversal might take a while if you're using your credit card. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast, but the area has a lot of ”karinderya” where you can buy your food from. There are also laundry shops and convenience stores nearby. As for location, it is very near to the Katipunan LRT station and walking distance to the UP-Katipunan jeepney station.

overall good stay. location was great, parking was available everytime. convenience store and laundry were close by. friendly staff… items for improvement: room and microwave were not as clean as i expected upon check in. flush was a little clogged. bathroom supplies not replenished after room cleaning. no local tv channels, just youtube. road noise can be heard from the room. 2 different room keys, converting to card access might be more convenient.

Didn't know the price would be so worth it. Booked this on a whim but I don't regret it. Definitely saved me for a sudden schedule change for my weekend.

The room and bathroom were clean. The staff was nice and accomodating. The television has Netflix, but the hotel has a weak Wi-Fi signal. There were towels and slippers, and they also have hot showers. The hotel is easy to access and has a 7-11 near it.

Neat and Clean Polite and approachable staff Easy to access location.

Firstly, the good. Good location in colourful Poblacion (close to the heart of Makati but keep alert) and reasonably priced. Good friendly staff who go out of their way, Nino, Marlon and Leo (Nino in particular gave me great help when ING Australia had suspended use of my ATM card given its overseas use even though I advised that I would be overseas! lol). Good security (steel security door) and good value. The bad....upper floors can only be accessed by stairs which resemble the steep climb to the death face of K2 (to say it is somewhat steep is an understatement). Nimble young folks and families could do it but it was a great strain for older folks like me despite the fact that the friendly staff were happy to carry my bags upstairs. Secondly, the internet there must be run by evil spirits - you would get connected and the internet would fade and disconnect, or refuse to connect repeatedly. There are many other alternative internet options (different routers for different floors) however you would get the same bad internet experience over and over again. Whilst there is no great internet even in Manila, at the end of the day the internet here was a very frustrating experience and a great difficulty if you absolutely required it (which is most of us). The rooms were so so and came with air conditioning and were about right for a budget stay.

During my recent trip to Makati, I stayed at Abraham Manila. After a 4-hour bus ride from the province, arriving at Abraham Manila was a welcome break. I chose their double room, which was just right for my short stay in Manila. The room was cozy and comfortable, providing a nice place to relax. If you're looking for affordable options, they also have dormitory accommodations. One of the best things about my stay was the water refills on the 7th floor, which was really handy. And having a dedicated working booth was great for getting work done remotely in a quiet space. The staff at Abraham Manila were amazing, always ready to help with anything I needed. Plus, the hotel's location in Poblacion, Makati, was perfect. There were plenty of restaurants and bars nearby to explore, making it easy to find something new to try each night.

We had a delightful stay at the Grand Westside Hotel, perfect for our relaxing weekend escape. Despite the hotel being newly opened and still undergoing some construction, the facilities and room were both adequate and comfortable. A special highlight was the breakfast, featuring an extensive and satisfying menu. We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Kim, for helping us book our room. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
