Guest Reviews

• Michelle (8/5): Will definitely book again for the location - Nice & location Drainage at the shower
• shiela (10/5): - The rooms No wifi
• Josh (8/5): Overnight stay with bebe - All is good! Overnight stay for work. The unit was just a bit dark.
• Ivo (7/5): Good - The location was perfect for the purpose of my visit. The room wasn’t too large but big enough. The security was good. Arrived late PM and the guard was prepared. Handed me the keycard. Had some issues with opening the code lock on the door but the contact person was available by phone and he helped me.
• Aileen (10/5): Exceptional -
• Angga (5/5): Passable - I like how accessible the place to the other key malls in Ortigas. They don't do housekeeping everyday. During our 5-night stay, they only did once. And they dont do it until you request it.
• Alejandro (8/5): Very good -
• Jose (7/5): It’s not that bad. - View from the room and the location were perfect. Roy was very helpful. Microwaves were not functioning, saw some roaches , washroom needs to clean thoroughlwe had to ask for the toiletries and bed linens though Roy was fast in responding to our request/ needs.
• Bhattacharya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kenneth (6/5): Pleasant -
• Jim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Graceskyye (7/5): Great short stay in Ortigas center - The entire apartment was spacious and somewhat clean. Airconditioning works so well. Close to malls and offices. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Always with a smile. Sir Roy was also very helpful with any concerns. No trash can, and minor inconveniences like the bidet needs to be controlled on the main switch and the room's cabinet door kept opening, the lock mechanism dont work anymore. 😅 No towels or robes available for guests. A bit strict on receiving guests after 10pm but understandably so.
• Charito (8/5): Very good -
• Tristan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Newcombe (7/5): Overall we enjoyed our stay, it was our second time there so quite happy both times.. - Good location, room was clean and well presented. Kevin was our contact and he was very obliging. Staff at the front desk were also helpful and obliging. Pool and gym were a good addition to the stay. Some trouble with the appliances but they were quickly sorted. Rooms a bit on the smaller side, ok but tight!!
• Adam (9/5): Superb -
• Abdulrahman (10/5): Very recommend in heart of Manila - Roy is so helpful Location is perfect 5 mins to the mall The security is well maintained I love everything about the apartment There were problems and sort out directly Nothing
• Princess (9/5): Great option - Location and price are great. Transaction is smooth. The room is small but is still comfortable. There are eating and kitchen utensils available. Toiletries are incomplete.
• Victoria (7/5): Manageable - The apartment is very close to the description and pictures on the website. The kitchen has the necessary items, and the bed is comfortable. The window in the bedroom faces sunlight in the morning, which helps wake up. The microwave was out of order and subsequently replaced with a different one also not working. The room had small flies from the sewage that bite. I requested pest control, and it seemed there were fewer flies from the third day of the stay. The apartment service company representative informed me that the cleaning comes Monday and Thursday (which is included in the fee paid thru booking.com), but nobody showed up even after multiple follow-ups. Overall, it was quite tough to keep on following up on issues here and there, especially as I was working during the stay.
• Darwin (10/5): Exceptional - All of it.
• Cheri (8/5): Very good - Very central location. Walking distance to SM Megamall and Podium. In the middle of Ortigas Business District. The host was very responsive to inquiries. The rooms were clean and tidy though a bit small. This is a full-service apartment where you can cook. Complete kitchen and cooking utensils. Pool time has to be scheduled. A bit to small and shallow for our liking
• Matthew (7/5): Good -
• Abegail (10/5): Exceptional -
• George (5/5): Checking in was a disaster , from the securities, the staff is trying to be nice though - Bed and great view Ac is so noisy, lots of cockroaches everywhere, microwave is not working, visitors not allowed late night
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - Ideal location and clean room
• Gladys (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bentley (7/5): Good -
• Rosemarie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Castro (7/5): Good -
• Jeff (9/5): Superb -

• Nette (7/5): Good -
• Erica (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marve (8/5): Very good - I like the location, walking distance from megamall, the room is very spacious. Staff's are very helpful, guards are accommodating.
• Lydialyn (6/5): Pleasant -
• Rose (6/5): Pleasant -
• Alma (6/5): Pleasant -
• Jennierose (7/5): Convenient location and accessible - The host was accommodating and nice. I arrived late and he patiently waited for me to arrive at the property. He was also informative during the check-in process. The cleaner forgot to take out the trash in the toilet. The water pressure in the shower is also low.
• Cliff (6/5): Pleasant -
• Clakerei (9/5): Comforting, convenient, and affordable!! - Great customer service. I had a same-day booking and arrived at the property late at night (due to long travel hours), but we were still accommodated. Also, I love how the place feels secure with a 24/7 front desk. The room is nice and clean with a city view. I love that there is an iron, iron board, and hair blower available. It is near to malls, drugstores, and transportation areas which is good for me since it is less walking time.
• Arlene (5/5): Passable - I like the location. There are cockroaches, shampoo is watery, no hair condotioner. Cleaning stuff should be out of sight. Flat iron needs an adaptor that fits the wall socket.
• Lizzie026 (7/5): Good -
• Tere (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (7/5): Good - Location Rather not say
• Rona (7/5): Good -
• Stella (8/5): Very good -
• Mary (8/5): Thank you ❤️ - It was nice and clean, kuya was very accomodating and friendly . There were small cockroaches and bugs in the kitchen area even if you spray insectiside , but kuya was so kind he immediately attend to my complain . I guess its really like that if the rooms are seldom use. Thank you anyway
• Roselle (6/5): Pleasant -
• Michelle (5/5): Passable -
• Roselle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Karl (6/5): Service was great, but accomodation can be better - The bed was soft, and the place was generally clean. The view from the stay was nice too, looking out from the bed. There were utensils we were able to use to eat at the place. Toiletries seem to have been consumed and weren't replaced before we arrived. The mood light above the headboard needs fixing, and nooks and crannies need a little more dusting. They failed to provide two towels for us two.
• Peter (4/5): Cockroach corner - Location The Cockroaches were in every crevice and drain in the apartment.
• Kenneth (4/5): A lot that needs to be improved on the Facilities side - I like the automatic lock and the staff were pretty nice. Cockroaches are present. It is an old building so even if the unit is cleaned before you arrive, you still share the pipes with other tenants and possibly roaches are still there. Microwave was not working. Average between 10-15 mbps for internet. Shower door is an issue. The water splashes throughout the bathroom floor. Water puddle forms around the toilet bowl One whole week of occupancy and no fresh towels offered or even cleaning.
• Evangeline (9/5): Superb - I like the whole apartment. Though, the TV was not working 100%. I was there for relaxation anyways. the pool area. Because of the construction site ongoing beside the pool area. My children got a bit awkward swimming because of the workers watching them.
• Troy (10/5): Magic - Kevin looked after us very well first class services All perfect
• Queenie (9/5): Superb -
• Robert (10/5): Lovely place very clean and staff are a credit along with security staff - Staff at front desk security are the best ever and room attendants Kevin and Roy great. Very secure felt safe In gf was ac but no other in lobby areas was hot there but in rooms perfect
• Simon (5/5): Passable - gute lage bugs everywhere, room cleaning 1x in a week only
• Roy (8/5): Very good -
• Terry (5/5): Passable - The main feature for me is always the location. I wanted to be close to where I was working and this was perfect. Confusing messages following my booking. One said to send copies of my passport and vaccine book, which I did. Then I got another message from someone else asking for the same.
• Solomon (8/5): Very good -
• Lyncie (5/5): Pleasant. Location, price and friendly personnel are the property's best features. - Best features are 1) the property's location which is within safe walking distance of SM Megamall, The Podium, and St. Francis Square Mall which turned out to be a very pleasant surprise (Kultura has a better shop there than even at SM Megamall), 2) the property requires no prepayment and a credit card to hold reservation, 3) the property offers airport transfers, and 4) PPIC personnel (property mgt) were very pleasant to deal with. For the price paid, the room I had was fair but I had expected more presentable, higher quality furnishings for a property in that particular location. PLUS side - The room I was assigned to on the 29th floor had a great view overlooking SM Megamall. The bed was very comfortable and the air condition in good working order. The room is self-contained, with a fridge, microwave, countertop burner, sink, and cooking and eating utensils.The shower had hot water. MINUS side - The kitchen countertop needed a good scrubbing: it had grease spots all over it. There was a dustpan but no broom. The washroom was relatively clean but the shower stall was not designed well: no shower curtain or glass door to prevent shower spray from drenching the sink area. Also, the cover of the gaping hole in the ceiling in the washroom had fallen off, with pipes showing: short as I am, I had to be creative to put the cover back (I was not going to use the washroom facilities or sleep the night with a gaping hole in the room! With flight delays, I did not arrive until midnight so I helped myself to fix things). RECOMMENDATION - A room should be thoroughly inspected first from top to bottom before making it available to guests. This will go a long way towards attracting repeat customers to your property. The property already has location and price going for it. Improving the quality of your rooms will definitely be advantageous (I know what I am talking about, having worked in the tourism/hospitality industry in the Philippines and abroad).
• Djurre (8/5): Very good -
• Roy (7/5): Good -
• Jonel (10/5): Safe and comfortable place to stay around Ortigas! - It was very strategic as just walking distance from megamall, and ortigas bcd proper. Communication with the staff was also so smooth and very accommodating

• Virgil (7/5): Budget wise but madami ipis ang room. - accessible Madaming ipis room
• Rea (7/5): Good location in Ortigas area - Good location and spacious apartment. Close restaurants nearby. Needed a bit of cleaning. Saw a lot of baby roaches in the kitchen and bathroom.
• Haydee (7/5): It was okay, close to all ,easy access to everything. - No breakfast has been served It would have been better if there is a shower door because the water goes through the whole area of the bathroom.
• Charlene (8/5): Very good -
• Sherryl (10/5): Exceptional - Really liked how clean the room was and that there were a lot of kitchen utensils. Nothing at this point.
• Jodelyn (10/5): Overall, we enjoyed our stay, perfect for Family or Friends. The price is worth it! Definitely will recommend! - The property is very good for Family. They allowed 5 adults and 1 toddler to stay at this 2 bedroom hotel. 2 Towels provided each room. Complete toiletries provided in each bathroom. Hot/Cold Shower is working. Large windows in the living room/Dining Area and in 2 bedrooms. Staff is very accommodating, very helpful and just 1 message away. The location of the hotel is very accessible to nearby restaurants and malls. Outdoor pool is free for 3 person. They also allow early check in and late check out as long there is no reservation before or after your reservation. I’m satisfied with our stay and enjoyed a lot. And before I forgot, on weekends Emerald Ave is close for you to jog, bike and rent a bike for kids. WiFi is fast. 10 out of 10. Had hard time to connect the TV to Wifi. TV inside the room has just TV Plus installed. please bring USB or laptop if you want movie night.
