I will never go the hotel because there is no air con inside the room.

Sorry Toru but we have 8 types of rooms and rate and we have TWO TYPES OF AIR-CONDITIONED ROOMS. So don't be shy and feel free to upgrade to one of our 13 rooms with air-conditioning and electric hot shower

I reserved the room just because I wanted Air Conditoned. So they took me to room without A/C. I said I want A/C. So they sent me to room with AC and TV for 150 Pesos more without my knowledge. I tried to explain about this to get refund but a old woman, act like a ANGRY BULLDOG enough to make staff scared of her. She was so angry enough that I decided not bother to continue to discuss. Even the A/C was not good. The room finally got cooler because of cooler night. NO TOILET PAPER!

Firstly when we arrived we had to wait at least 10 minutes for anyone to receive us at the desk. Secondly, they had someone show us to our room. He wasn't friendly and he was talking on his cell phone the whole time. Thirdly, the room they put us in smelled terrible and was run down. Fourthly a cock roach ran over my boyfriends foot while we were laying in bed. The only good things about this hostel were the cheap price and the location close to the airport.

Sorry Lara for your negative experience & terrible first impression of our family operated Townhouse Hotel / hostel. We have always had difficulty maintaining a dependable staff and of course can not always be available 24/7. I encourage all of our guests to insist on seeing 3 or 4 or more rooms before choosing the room they prefer;we have 38 rooms and 8 rooms of the type you booked. Next time ask for my wife\\\'s little sister, Elena, our daughter, Camilla or us, Bill and Lorna

Our small unisex dormitory is basic fan cooled and has 4 beds, P180 (U$4) / each but no windows;calling it a "hell hole" is unfair.

I saw some poor reviews on this place, but thought I'd stay there because it was cheap and near the airport. I'm glad I made this decision. It was nice place and we have plenty of privacy and security, especially considering the low cost. It was a nice place to spend the night after a long day of traveling.

Firstly, there were drinkers and smokers on the passage way, where I had to pass through going to my room. Secondly, the bed linens and towel are a bit brownish instead of white I suppose. Thirdly, electric fan and others fixtures in the room need changing and or fixing, so with the tile floor needs fixing. Lastly, the bed was creaking when I moved, I reckon the place was poorly managed.

Convenient place to stay near NAIA airport, good value for a private room in Manila. I'd recommend arranging for pick-up rather than relying on rip-off airport taxis.

This was the most expensive place I stayed this vacation, and the worst. Fix the air conditioner. Fix the broken tile. The pictures hanging at odd angles reflected the general condition of the room. Yikes.

Ok if you are in hurry. It is really close to airport. My. Room was little trainspotting style. Staff is friendly. For me it was ok. But I just needed a bed for few hours. My amazing girfliend did'nt complain but I felt bad..
