Calme. Pas 1 placard. Cafards

The stay was average, the room was dirty, hot water was not always available, there was a stain on the sheet and a hole.

The location was closer to my workplace, but the noise was a problem.

“Excellent location, good security, 24-hour café, recommended - I will come back here again”

I snagged a great deal at this hotel, yet the rating was very low. I dug deeper and found only one review, so I decided a positive review from me could help lift the score. The hotel sits just off Plaza Sta Cruz and the Chinatown Arch, with LRT Carriedo station a block away. Walking around Sta Cruz reveals hard‑to‑find items like replacement parts and clothes, plus Sta Cruz church with a good mass schedule, Quiapo Church with hourly masses, and many other shrines nearby. Intramuros is a moderate walk away, passing through historic Escolta and a beautified river walk. I booked and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were helpful and friendly, a 24‑hour café downstairs, a single elevator that worked well, clean hallways and rooms, a spacious room with functional A/C and hot water heater, a reasonably comfortable bed, good linen, and a quilted blanket. On the downside, there were coffee cups in the room but no hot water pot, the shower was a provincial style without a curtain or ledge, so I had to squeegee water to the drain to dry the floor faster. Traffic noise could still reach upper floors depending on traffic below. Stair areas were not kept clean. There was no closet, only a hanging rod above the sofa, and no hangers were provided. The café only served bottled coffee or tea, not brewed coffee or tea bags—first time I’ve seen that. The food and prices were okay, but there was nothing else noteworthy.
