Stay Malate (Wanderers Guest House)

ロケーションがとても良かった 荷物預かりを心良く引き受けてくれた

お部屋が狭く荷物を置く場所がなかった

I'm back again, for the 3rd time. Now, after nearly 6 months of backpacking around the Philippines, I really appreciate this place even more. All their rooms are bookable online, from the cheapest to the most expensive, not like so many other places which only have their most expensive rooms online. Also I like that they do not use dynamic pricing. Each room type has a fixed cost per night. Simple and easy. The rooftop bar is unique to the Philippines. Perfect for me for a reset and planning for my next country. It's not a 20's something party hostel, but a Guest house for people of all ages. You won't be the oldest one here.

Something happened this time. I notified them of my late arrival time and got a message back that it was no problem. When I arrived, they said they were full and that they had booked me into their new hostel a few dyrets away instead. This is NOT acceptable. I booked here because I wanted the 'full package', room, food, beer, DSA, in order to reset and plan before further travelling. Their new hostel does not have a rooftop bar. I did NOT receive any information about this up front, but only found out when I arrived at midnight! There were so many rooms available when I booked just 2 days ago. How could everything be full? Why could I book a room if none were available?....or do they take bookings for both places on the same web page? If I knew, I could have come a day later....or booked a different category room! In the end I got another room and had to change rooms the the next day. Not ideal but I could live with it. Why would I want to stay a week in some tiny room somewhere without the facilities Stay Malate has?

Eu gosto de conhecer a cidade a pé, por isso achei a localização boa.

Ventoinhas emitem um ruido elevado. Não gostei que quem me conduziu num triciclo até ao hotel tivesse fugido sem me dar o troco do serviço acordado. Foi acordado um valor de 200 e ele ficou com 500, tendo desaparecido de repente sem que nada o prevesse. Manila é uma cidade do salve-se quem puder.

Le personnel sympathique et l’emplacement

L’équipement est vieillissant

Easy to find good location

Could be better bedding, linen etc. Dorms are dated
