Нормальный отель
За свои деньги думаю это нормальный отель. Мне не понравилось, что в комнате не открываются окна, а кондиционер просто гоняет воздух который внутри, поэтому уровень CO2, вероятно, зашкаливает. Но этот отель один из самых дешевых в выбранном мной районе. Находиться там не особо приятно, но большего вы не получите за эти де ньги.

The picture in the advertisement was way different
A little hard to find but located quite nicely, the Jeepneys run just outside the door (12L takes you to Ayala Mall and 04C to Magellan's Cross etc). I got a nice pancake breakfast very cheap on the kiosk across the street and loaded some time on my Filipino Sim card. There is also a cheap laundry across the street by the intersection.
Very nice people, the girl at the counter actually offered me a slice of her pizza that had just arrived while I was checking in! No air-conditioning though so the small rooms get quite hot with just the fan. The bunk bed felt like it would crash into pieces so I wouldn't risk climbing to the upper one. Older people can have trouble with the steep stairs.
The roof terrace is acually not a roof terrace, but the tiny little space could be used for drying the laundry if you do it yourself.
Uh, well, after the first two days I couldn't wait for hotels.com to send me the "how was your stay" email so I could blast this place as a terrible experience. But, ultimately this place has enough good that you can overlook the bad.
The good: the Wifi worked amazing. I've stayed in really nice hotels where the Wifi wasn't as good. The air conditioner was brand new and ice cold. Finally the staff was great. You pretty much have to engage them in conversation if you want something or have a question. But they pleasantly will fulfill your request.
The bad: The toilet and shower are right next to each other meaning if someone pees on the floor it's going to run into your shower water. Yup, that's friggin' gross in any language. There was no plug in the room. Had to charge phone and tablet in the lobby. The worst part by far was the bathroom sink. Go to your sink right now and try to run the smallest stream of water you can. Now cut that in half and that's what you get here. If there was any less water coming out it would be off.
In the end, I actually stayed for 10 nights and I was able to overlook the bad. Considering the price, it's not a bad option.
