Hotel Terbaik dengan Gimnasium di Bandaraya Olongapo

When we walked into the hotel we were immediately given a warm welcome which was particularly nice after travelling so far. Our room was very comfortable. The restaurant was superb and the staff could not do enough for us. Food was very good and the choice was amazing.

A week ago, I booked a ”superior Deluxe” room with bathtub, for our 8th couple Anniversary, as I wanted to treat my wife for this occasion. As she was around and I couldn't speak, I immediately confirmed by e-mail, requesting (with a supplement) some flowers and chocolates. First my request was denied for ”short notice” ! Like you need over 2 days to pick a flew flowers and buy some chocolates... Upon arrival, we had to pay the total amount, 18'000 peso, in advance ! Now I understand why... The first room did not have a bathtub, so I demanded that my booking to be fulfilled ! Then we were brought to the one with a bathtub... For the whole week-end we didn't have any warm water, so no bathtub, no shower ! The room was filthy... I ate a cookie on saturday afternoon, the crumbs were still on the nightstand when we left on monday ! The room 581 ”Superior Deluxe” is totally run down, just check the pictures !!! Stains everywhere on the walls, dirty windows, loose electric wires hanging in front of windows... Cobwebs on the Shower ceiling... And the bathtub... Probably some antiques from the 19th century when you see this piece of work (pictures to prove...). If you like geology, you will enjoy that room, as you also havbe a wonderful ”fault line” going across the room ! Now the restaurant... Many dishes are ”unavailable” even simple hashbrowns !!! What's left is totally overpriced and the crew prefers to sit and make jokes about the customers (bad luck, my wife is pinay and understood the whole lot...) ! So all in all ? A week-end in Hell at the price of a very good hotel in Manila... Just stay away !

For this SBMA trip, I looked for a hotel we haven't tried. Renovated photos of Subic Bay Travelers Hotel looked promising. PROS: 1. Contemporary designed renovation of the lobby and all interior spaces of the hotel. New furniture and fixtures everywhere.  2. Big room with king bed with cushy beddings, huge flat screen TV with a wide channel selection. Cold AC, Safe, mini ref, elec kettle with coffee.  3. Several power outlets and located above the bedside tables height for easy access. 4. Very stylish cafe with good selection of food. We highly commend that the construction of the cafe worked around and saved the mature trees. The massive tree trunks added a unique feature.  5. Pool was adequate in size. Thanks for extending the pool hours while the wifi was being sorted out.  6. Resident manager DJ, FO Kamil and concierge Don were warm and accommodating. Thank you very much for making our celebration memorable.  COULD BE IMPROVED: 1. Internet was very weak in room 201. WIFI signal only reached the first 2 meters inside the room. No signal from the bedroom. However, SBTH staff worked overtime and even transfered router nearer to our room but it took a portion of our time into this issue. Please look into a more permanent solution to the wifi challenge.  2. Hot water in the shower was not working. Called the FO to raise this concern and was advised that they will have the heater turned on. After a while, temp improved slightly and became tepid at best.  This should be an easy fix to avoid same in future.  3. Reception of TV channels were grainy/snowy. This should be an easy fix to avoid same in future.  In conclusion, 3 stars (average) for now but with these improvement points remedied, SBTH will be one of our go to hotels (definitely 4 stars) in the sub 3k price range.
