Franchise One Hotel

Great hotel, Staff very friendly and helpful.. It has is own restaurant and the are also other places to eat nearby The only problem I had was the distance to some of the places i wanted to go to but apart from that I really enjoyed my stay. If you like holidaying on a budget then this hotel will meet your requirements.

I booked a few days here after I cancelled a reservation at a different hotel and was much happier with Franchise 1. It was clean, quiet and pretty inexpensive. I'd definitely stay here again. Hotel staff were friendly, restaurant food was good. I do wish it had a pool :( Internet access was decent. Makati traffic is, well, Makati traffic, so plan ahead when going out weekend evenings. Easiest reference landmark to tell taxi drivers is WalterMart; a pretty even mix of drivers knew the place and a the others drove a "little" beyond the standard route to drive up the taxi fare. No, it's not 5 star and neither is the price. Overall, a good value for the $$.

I didn't have problems with the hotel's service and cleanliness: the room was a bit small but comfortable and clean and the staff was very friendly (but noisy - they talked with each other and bantered loudly even if clients were around) but wi-fi service was very slow. What I didn't like about the hotel was its location: it floods in that area and you can't get any taxi willing to bring you to the hotel (I had to stay in another hotel). The day I was there, a pedestrian walking in front of the hotel had her bag snatched right in front of our eyes. So be careful when you stay there.

Was ok for one night. Just needed sleep. The area didn't look too good at night, but in the day, it didn't seem as bad. The room was reasonably clean for the price. The bathroom sink would not drain, but I didn't call to get it fixed. The beds in the Philippines do not seem to be that comfortable (this is my impression from all the hotels I stayed at). For the price and closeness to the airport, it is ok for an overnight stay. Would not want to stay for more than that.

Its a small hotel but the price is just right. If I'm ever in Manila again I'll be staying at this place again. Its off the main road so it can be little hard to find but the taxi drivers had no problems to speak of in finding it. The people working there are true filipinos, they are really great people.

Service was fantastic, the staff was friendly and attentive. I quite liked this hotel in a previous stay, so we keep coming back!!!

Staff were friendly, they offer room service meaning food can be delivered to your room for free and you can just tip the staff if you wish or you can eat on the ground level small restaurant. Hotel was clean, including the room i was in. Hotel does not have elevator so if you get the 5th floor, you'll have to walk all the way up thru the stairs. Wifi is accessible from the lobby but access is limited or pay 200peso (24hr) to access wired internet in your room and they will provide you the Cat5 cable. However my room's wired internet did not work which will need repairing. It is also nicely air conditioned and Mall is just 1-2min walked. My room was situated at the very end of 5th floor next to the cleaning storage room therefore I can hear workers banging on the wall and also at night my sleep got interrupted several times as I can hear something like a pumping machine which was quite loud.

The hotel was old and although the staff tried to make everything as comfortable as possible,and they were friendly i dont think i would stay there again.The neighborhood was somewhat dirty and not much close by to do other than a couple of older malls to do a little shopping.

The staff was wonferful, the food in their small restaurant was great. The entire hotel was spotless, including the rooms. The surrounding neighborhood isn't great, but I was never fearful. Go towards the mall (2 blocks) and its very nice, plenty of great food in a variety of restaurants. The staff were all A+++. I would love to stay there again.

it's near a mall which has an indoor shooting range and guns you can rent. Sorry I come from Oregon and hunting and shooting I do a lot of. I loved the dvd player. all was great and enjoyed it.
