The hotel is close to the AirPort and very convenient if you are taking a domestic flight from terminal 3 the next day. The room was clean and the bed was firm but comfortable. Just be aware that there in no bathroom or shower in the room. You have to use ones in the hallway.

Across the street from the domestic terminal. Close to a lot of restaurants. Shuttle van for a fee to another terminal. Worth the price to stay here again.

Staff take advantage by charging parking fee for food deliveries that I have to pay. Over priced for they bought from outside like broiled tilapia for 180 pesos. Room is too small for 10day quarantine. Noisy air-condition. Noisy facility. You can hear footsteps and banging of doors in the middle of the night. No shelves at the restroom to put toiletries on. Don't provide complimentary items like soap, shampoo, etc. For 10day quarantine we hope to do laundry. The sink is too small. I took study materials for me. The table is too small for laptop and binder. Placers stool don't have back support. Mattress is covered with leather which is too hot on the back. Don't provide comforter, just two flat sheet which is not enough when the room is air-conditioned. Overall, I'm disappointed and was depressed with my whole stay.

Basic amenities situated across Terminal 4
Stayed here for 1 night. Pros: clean room and bathroom/toilet Water dispenser available outside of the room Helpful staff Close proximity to terminal 4 Nearby fast food places to eat Requested a drop off to the Terminal 4 opposite the hotel and cost me 100php. Cons: Located in somewhat a dodgy complex. I was put into their annex, and it’s not a secure place. The main door to enter the area were the few rooms are was not locked, there should be a key for this. A vendor knocked on my door as soon as I checked in. I have to speak to them through the door as I’m scared to open it to strangers! At night, I have to walk through a bar which occupied the pavement to access into the building. Noisy air con and one can hear the loud banging of the door outside. Woke me up few times.

The hotel location is excellent!!!! There are store shops, restaurants and coffee shops just right outside of the hotel. The area is relatively safe with controlled access points and security rovers. The hotel room is very clean, modern, with hot water showers. The staff are friendly, polite and helful.!

Close to terminal 4
Very budget which is what you expect. Shared bathroom which wasn’t very pleasant. Very close to terminal 4 which was why we stayed there. Air con in room sounded like a plane taking off - ridiculously loud but too stuffy to turn it off. We we’re running late for plane at checkout and the staff took forever just to take our key (we owed no money) which was frustrating. Don’t expect much if you stay here but there are food places downstairs and airport across road.

Not nice, but better than 12 hours at the Airport.
Very very basic rooms and depressing atmosphere, but there is a TV and a decent massage place next door and some Phillipino fast food and street food around. Not nice, but a lot better than 12 hours at the airport and its super cheap. Even cheaper if you just pay there not online. 500 pesos (12 Aussie $, or 10 USD) for 3 hours or 1000 pesos (24 Aussie$ or 20 USD) for 12 hours. 2 minutes walk to terminal 4 or cheap shuttle to the other terminals is good too.

Clean and tidy room but very small. No mirror in bedroom which was annoying. Shower and toilet super clean. Staff said deposit was 300 then asked for 500. I said 300 was fine and would like a receipt. Good for late night flights into manila when you don't want to travel far to a hotel
