8.6/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)

I would like to give a 5 star review on this property but I just couldn't. I really like the fact that it is so close to the Basilica, to great restaurants, supermarket and public transportation. Breakfast was excellent as well. Room size was decent. However, my AC did not work. It was really hot when I stayed there and I reported the matter to the front desk staff but the matter was not resolved. For three nights, my sleep was not very comfortable. Will I stay here again? Probably not, unless the AC in my room was fixed.

Great location, very convenient and walkable. Good if you just want a place to sleep. Getting there is a bit complicated, especially after hours. Rooms are nothing fancy, and not the cleanest. Dark hallways. Bed and linen/pillows weren’t the comfiest.
