Its close to the airport terminal and can be reached conveniently within 30 min. It is in an upper middle-class neighborhood, very secure area.
It has a nice charming garden in front and its old-world architecture is that of the colonial-era . It has a bar which is open 24hrs.
Their room rates are cheaper than those in Makati or Malate.
The staff are very helpful and the hotel has decent clean rooms, hot showers and clean sheets.
Ideal place for backpackers and those who like quite place away from the city hustle. Transportation to and from the hostel is not that easily available and convenient, but can manage. From airport to this hotel, a taxi should cost around 100 pesos.
