    The room was a little muggy, it could use a dehumidifier. Not a posh neighborhood like Makati or BGC so the fancy hotel seems a little out of place but great if you’re looking for a more authentic experience of Manila

    great location within the walls of old manila, views from my room and the rooftop are amazing, staff was friendly, they accommodated my request for a particular room color

    On a hot or rainy day, be prepared to pay a premium to take a tricycle going back to the hotel. Otherwise its a nice walk.

    Great location inisde Intramuros. Close to Rizal Park, SM Mall and Museums.

    A little bit dated, breakfast was adequate not huge variety. Beware: taxi ride to airport took 2 hours and we missed the flight! Hotel called Taxi and took 15 mins to arrive. It was slow and didn’t have electronic tag for motorway…traffic is terrible! in fact, road to airport (approx 200m from Departures) was closed, so we took our cases and walked!

    Lovely old building in Intramuros, the historical old centre of Manila. Great location, comfortable beds and bedding, friendly staff

    We had consistent issues with the lack of hot water. This was our only issue, but it is a large one. It was consistently warm, and only occasionally hot. Every shower I took had the temperature setting at the highest level. We found this problem to be the case more often when showering in the afternoon or evening. Even after being upgraded to nicer rooms, the issue remained. Staff did their best to accommodate us, and we appreciate their efforts, but the cause of the problem was not solved. Discussing this with management we found this to have become an issue in the last couple weeks only. Hopefully they can fix the water heater soon, because everything else about the hotel was great. Update 3/22/2023 A rebate promised by Ms. Shai Perez upon checkout is still missing. I have contacted them through their portal and will update again if the promise made is kept. Update 4/24/2023 A rebate of 10% was finally given, but only after I emailed Ms. Perez directly to ask what was taking so long. Maybe they forgot, or maybe they "forgot", but everything has now been settled.

    The beds were comfy. The location is good for Intramuros. Staff tried to do their best to accommodate us at every chance. The views from the restaurant and the Sky Deck are great. The egg station is a bonus, but the rest of the breakfast was lacking for me as I don't eat meat. I did not ask for anything special as eggs and bread was enough to start the day.

    The roofdeck bar required reservations and did not at first allow hotel guests to walk in even if there were many available tables and said tables remained unoccupied for the rest of the night. The rooms are also too small for 3 pax (maximum capacity).

    The location is good and the hotel is clean and well maintained. The staff members are helpful and polite.

    Quiet Retreat within the Heart of Old Manila
    • Leisure trip

    There was nothing absolutely wrong with the facilities but it may be easier to find the main entrance of the hotel if there were some signages nearby pointing to the main entrance of the hotel - I've had two Grab rides encounter this problem. The main entrance faces a side street rather than the larger main street making it seem not obvious.

    Considering this a hotel operated by a nearby university (where a lot of their on the job trainees for their Hotel and Restaurant Management program usually complete their internship hours) - the experience doesn't feel like it. It's a very well-kept, very professional hotel. Check-in was fast and I was allowed to check-in 2 hours before the intended check-in hours, which was great. The room I stayed in has been relatively refreshed, has a very sleek modern, boutique hotel look without feeling cheap or campy. Room was well-lit, relatively spacious for a couple and has a large bathroom for its size. Very clean, no signs of roaches or pests. No issues with the airconditioning and the TV. My room also has a good view towards one of the historical walls, and the Manila City Hall where you can see the working clock tower, surrounded by manicured greens of the golf course - a great view to both wake up and wind down. They have four restaurants that you can try. On the ground floor they have "Cioccolatta", a coffee shop that has their specialty churros for only 130 pesos, which can be a good afternoon snack. A pizzeria "Raffaela" is on the third floor, where you can try Italian-Filipino inspired dishes. I tried their Raffaela Ragout pasta (traditional meat sauce) and wasn't disappointed. On the ninth floor there's 9Spoons a restaurant offering Filipino dishes with a twist. At night 9Spoons transfers to the hotel's rooftop restaurant, Sky Deck, offering great views at night. You should try their Bayleaf Specialty Iced Tea and Chocolate Wall dessert :) The hotel is within the walled city of Intramuros, so immediately outside the hotel you can scale on the walls (which can be seen from some of the rooms). It's also just minutes away from Fort Santiago and churches like the Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church.
