• ADRIANO (6/5): - I booked s delux room , they give me an executive room but safe was not working ,hot water in shower wasn't hot, don't have mini fridge fir cool water, value for money, low..
• Nick Vincent (10/5): - Fastest staff service
• Verified traveler (2/5): - 새벽에 도착해서 체크인하려니까 방이 준비된 것이 없다고 기다리라고 했다. 아마 내 방을 다른사람에게 내어준 모양으로 보였다. 주변에 방을 기다리고 있는 사람들이 여러명 보였고 24시간이 아닌 일정 시간으로 쪼개어 숙박도 가능한 것으로 보였다. 한참을 기다리니 방이 배정되었고 미안했는지 생수 2병을 건내 주었다
• princejosephl (10/5): Clean Rooms and Beautiful - it was late at night when I came to that hotel before to sleep and when I entered the hotel everyone was nice , the staff , place , air and other stuff are good and when I went checked in they gave me a card that you can get discounts . It was awesome!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel gelegen in de drukke stad van manila. Je hoort af en toe lawaai van buiten ja ook doordat ze snachts ook nog rijden en toeteren als gekken haha. Ik zou geen auto of scooter huren want hier hebben ze lak aan alles zelf meegemaakt. ========= Hotel is in a busy part of Manila. You hear occasionally the sound from outside because apperently a lot of people still work after midnight honking en traffic rush hour. If you wanna decide too hire a car or a scooter please consider for your own safety. Because the people here drive like how can i say it nice inpatiently. I drove with taxi so I shaw it all happen,. But furthermore hotel was nice personal was very friendly and helpful.
• quinn5424 (10/5): It's not just a greeting. - The "Sogo Greeting" is not just a bow that you get when you go at any Hotel Sogo. It's a commitment from the hotel and the staff you will experience when you stay at their hotels. They do mean service. I felt that when I stayed in Hotel Sogo Gil Puyat. I was really sleepy though I was expecting that there would be need for me to wait before I could check in. It was unexpected that the staff would made arrangement for a very affordable room that comes with a free breakfast package. One of the staff notice how sleepy I was and I was given a room right away. Breakfast was sent to the room as well. Slept all day comfortably!
• I4018ODcarlap (2/5): Executive Room? Gross...I swatted three flies and there are still more. - April 6, 2018- I decided to get a room in the Gil Puyat (LRT Buendia) branch. First off, there are no other available rooms but the Excutive and Regency ones so I chose the cheaper one for 3 hours. At first I thought it was a good deal, the room looked decent as I get in. But things started to get awful. - Bedsheet, blanket, and pillow cases does not look or smell clean. If the lights are not dim, I bet that I am going to be horrified with what I will see. - I am almost done when the water begins to feel warm, so yes I had to take a cold shower at first. -There are flies (LANGAW!) and I was able to kill three of them. -My skin felt itchy after using their linens. So either they didn't rinse it off properly or they are using a very strong detergent. Please spare yourself from the grossness of this hotel. If you have a budget, choose a better place. This one's for "short-timers" as they say.... No.... I am not going back.
• duane (8/5): Its a round the clock hotel. - I thougt my check out is at 12noon , the front office reminded me that my check out time is at 10pm. Its round the clock. Nice to know.
• Paul (6/5): Good for a stop-off but needs plug sockets! - Bed was comfy, food nice, staff friendly. But nowhere to charge our phones, so had to charge my power pack in reception - not hugely convenient! Also could do with a shower curtain to stop everything else in the toilet/shower room getting wet. Good location for bus/rail but not an attractive area.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Camera senza tv e wf funzionanti.Non sono stato avvisato prima di prendere possesso della camera
• Marlon (10/5): Well clean hotel very near to restaurant and trans - Nice and clean hotel you will feel at home.Staff are friendly and helpfull.food is vers good.
• 514BobB514 (6/5): Noisy - We found this hotel very noisy. Our room was near the laundry and there was always loud talking. On top of that there was a man and woman arguing in the early hours of the morning. Yelling continued for nearly an hour. Rooms do not have windows and the passageways are like a maze. No power points near the bed. Had to buy an extension lead to run cpap. Staff were very friendly.
• Verified traveler (4/5): ATTENTION il s'agit d'un Love hôtel ! - Cet hôtel propose des chambres à l'heure, ou pour 3h , ou plus . Tout ça pour dire qu'il ne s'agit pas d'un hôtel traditionnel. Je ne pense pas qu'Expedia se soit bien renseigné avant de le mettre dans son catalogue !! J'ose à peine imaginer une famille débarquant là bas. Personnellement j'y ai passé une nuit avec mon fils et à notre arrivée, nous avons été dévisagés comme des bêtes curieuses. Les employés crachent des annonces publicitaires pour toutes sortes de massages ou autres " prestations " dans un micro à la réception, ce qui donne lieu à un bruit assourdissant. Bref , ça en serait presque risible si ce n'était pas aussi glauque .... En revanche, un point positif : juste en face de la station de bus pour Batangas ! D'où notre présence. POINT BARRE .
• grizzdbear (6/5): Small rooms, poor bedding, short stay only. - I guess at the prices guests should not have high expectations, but I don't think mine were excessively high. The linen was well worn and 'holy', consisting of only two sheets and two pillows . I had to pay for extras. The rooms are small (maybe not by Filipino standards but they are for foreigners) and no windows. The bathroom is equally compact and space saving. There is a small bench/table in front of a mirror but only one chair. The positives are that food is good, reasonably priced, and the food service quick. Location is convenient and central, (opp. JAM Liner Terminal and not far from Airport). I would suggest this hotel only for overnight stays in Manila.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - checked in at the front desk, given a key, and let through the door. Had to carry our own bags through a maze to find our room
• jimbo (4/5): sogo buendia - git there and they didn't have my reservation and had to email my confirmation email which I find really annoying... got to our room and the bad wasn't made up so we went for dinner to give then time to do it and still not done at our return... the cleaning guys did a good job in a timely manner but we had to wait during that time...
• Verified traveler (6/5): It was ok for a short time ! - It was a nice to stay there for two days...everything is around there .food and transportation
• ilan (2/5): not recomended - The sogo buendia hotel was the worst hotel I ever encountered
• Robert (6/5): Noisy room, inefficient check-in. - The walls and doors are apparently thin, lots of noise from the hallway and other rooms. There was a noisy fight in the hallway, later on cleaning people talking loudly in the hallway. We had a 4AM flight and didn't get much sleep because of all the noise. Also, it took about 30 minutes for them to check us in, even though we had a hotels.com confirmation number. Room was clean and comfortable. Hot water in shower was fine. I'll avoid this hotel in the future.
• PinoyMema (2/5): You wouldnt want to check in ever again - I frequently check in at Sogo Hotels and never expected that I would be experiencing a nightmare staying at Sogo Buendia. 1. Towels were notputinto plastic wrap as I normally see wherever I go (the attendant who came to check told me "we were rushing so we did not put in the plastic", which I find not reasonable). 2. No complimentary bottled drink (I always get water) im paying for12 hours coz i was so tired and not get anything complimentary. Very frustrating. 3. Upon check-in i reported my ac isnt working and just the vent coming from the ceiling. No one bothered to check on me if everything is ok. I had to advise them after 6 hours of sleeping and still it got resolved an hour before i check out (sweat is all over my body). Good thing the frontdesk agent in the morning is very polite though my over all experience is a disaster. I will not recommend this branch to any of my friends and for you who is reading my review.
• murkycave (8/5): Good for 1 night stay - The rooms are clean. Contrary to what I expect to see and hear about its reputation.. We had a nice spacious room, the toilet is clean (the flush isn't working though), hot water in bath, a working AC, flat TV, hair dryer.. The receptionist is a bit rude, but the elevator lady and other staffs are nice. They have good wifi. It is a good choice if you need a place to stay for a night.
• brisman333 (8/5): Good short transit option. - Initially I was reluctant to use a SOGO hotel given previous poor reviews however this branch seemed to be an exception. I needed a place to rest for 12 hours between bus arrival and flight departure and had noticed the convenient location straight across from the bus depot a few days previously so I decided to give it a go. This is a budget hotel next to a bus station which rents rooms by the hour and doesn't allow children on the premises so know what to expect. I chose an Executive room which can be had in 12 or 24 blocks with additional hours available, Econ rooms are rented in shorter blocks best suited to their intended use. The room was a pleasant surprise, clean and renovated with everything working. It wasn't too far behind a Tune/Red Planet room. There was a small toiletries packet, safe, tv with adult channels, towels and top sheet were in a sealed pack from the laundry. Wifi was very fast and room service was available. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is a security guard outside 24 hours, this is not an area you want to be walking around in the dark so take a taxi to and from the hotel at night. This hotel is best used for a short transit between flights and buses or a couple who need a room for a short time. The best feature is the ability to walk in at 5.00am and pay for 12 hours where as most hotels do in at 2.00pm and out at 11.00am. The price was reasonable, even at the higher weekend rate and suited what I wanted, which was somewhere to leave my bags for a few hours while I went to the Mall of Asia, get a few hours sleep and a shower before leaving for the airport at 3.00am. I would happily stay here again.
• 794joseff (4/5): only one elevator working, and this one was worst..... - from 3 Elevators only one was working. But how? Staff have to move a wooden Panel any time, if the Elevator arrives, because the automatic door dont work. From inside a staff have to slide the door with his fingers.... It was so stinky inside, that you are Close to vomite. Smells strong like glue solvent. Also the Elevator stopps between the floors, and the Alarm dont work. A poor staff have to be inside this stinky Elevator at all time. There are no stairs, exept the fire Exit stairs, so no choice. The Hotel is in the 5th floor. because of this dangerous Elevator without Substitute it should be instantly closed for safety reasons. Beside ist noisy, the staff is all night Long busy in front of the doors to call guests, or talking through her walkie-talkies...Mostly guests come there only for short time....
• Verified traveler (2/5): 宿泊客の管理、部屋の管理ができていない。 - Jamのバスターミナルの目の前なので利用しました。 深夜のフライトでマニラに到着し、翌日早朝のバスに乗るために、このホテルで仮眠する予定でした。しかしチェックインに30分以上かかり、また部屋に案内されたら、ベッドメイキングがされておらず、廊下で掃除を待たされたりで結局仮眠する時間も取れませんでした。宿泊客の管理、部屋の管理が全くできていない。フロントも悪びれた様子もなく、とても不愉快なホテルでした。
