Here’s a polished hotel review you can use:

I had a wonderful stay at Eastin Grand Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome with their warm, friendly, and professional service. Everyone was incredibly accommodating and always willing to help with a smile, making my stay comfortable and stress-free.

The food was excellent, with a great variety of delicious options that were fresh and beautifully prepared. Every meal exceeded my expectations.

The combination of exceptional hospitality, attentive service, and outstanding dining made this a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend Eastin Grand Hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with top-notch service, and I would gladly return on my next visit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stayed here as Intro Travel Philippines tour started from here the next evening. Had actually stayed at a few of the brand's other hostels in South East Asia on other Intro Tours. This one doesn't have a pool or the social vibe of those others, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Although the neighbourhood has a few sketchy characters when you walk down the street, it is pretty close to life-size toy museum (top of shopping center down the road) and other interesting stuff.

Rooftop has a view of Manila. Food on that and the reception common area floor was a bit overpriced, considering all the fast food and local food options on the street just outside the front door. But it was good.

I would highly recommend this hostel for Backpackers and solo travellers. It is located walking distance from convenience stores, pharmacies and food options. Most of the staff were extremely helpful and kind. The biggest asset for me was the laundry facilities onsite, this was super convenient. Absolutely one of the best hostels I have ever stayed in. They also have luggage storage for guests so you can make Manila your base of operations if you are travelling with suitcases like I did and then transitioned to backpack to do the other islands. I started in Manila, shopped for 2 days, left my luggage then went to Cebu-Moalboal and Oslob, Dumaguete to Siquijor and finally to Puerto Princessa before heading back to Manila. It was a smooth and seamless process especially for a solo female traveller hailing all the way from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹

Okay stay, low value

Pros: Lub d is in a great location, close to everything and very walkable. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Great common space with lots of seating. Strong wifi, good AC. Decor is modern.

Cons: Poor breakfast (don’t bother paying for it, go elsewhere). For a “deluxe” private room, the walls are threadbare (you can hear everything from the hallway and your neighbours). The “double bed” is actually 2 twin beds, so you can feel the lump where they meet. Elevators are slow, especially if you’re on a high floor. They don’t service your room, so you will have to call to get trash emptied, more toilet paper, etc. TV does not have streaming / smart functionality, despite signage in the room. Water pressure is low and intermittent.

Lub is the best hostel/hotel (aside from Ola!)

One of the best hostels that I have ever visited. Definitely the top one aside from Ola in another part of the city. Prime location. Amazing rooms. Cool common areas. Free gift upon arrival by spinning a wheel: I earned 400 PHP, which I used on their beautiful rooftop bar/restaurant. The bunks have stairs, not a ladder, which is much more convenient and safe. Including myself, there were only two people in my mixed dorm. Safe street with armed guard at the door 24/7. In the heart of the red light district, but blocks away from noisy and dangerous streets. Amazing customer service from the staff and hotels.com (which I recommend over Agoda). Beautiful, clean bathrooms with a washing machine and ironing board. No bugs anywhere. Would love to visit again.

Lub D was a nice stay. The room is spacious and comfortable. The common room has games and some necessities and beers for sale also a coffee shop with some desserts. The rooftop bar has nice views and food is not bad. They have a happy hour which is nice but unfortunately during my stay they were out of draft beer and bottles of the same were not included. I wish they had a little more things planned for people staying to meet each other easier, everyone in the common area was working and the group chat seemed to only have locals in it so it was really hard to meet people here. Also the area is not very good outside the hotel. It’s quite dirty and seems to have a homeless population in the building next door. The traffic where the hotel is located is also horrendous. Overall a good stay but it could be better if the staff put on more meet and greet activities.

Comfortable, convenient, and eco-friendly

It was a very nice experience, even better than my first time. The guard who assisted me in the parking was very approachable and supportive. My lavatory clogged up as soon as I got settled. I called front desk to request assistance. In less than 5 minutes, maintenance came and worked on it. Fixed in no time. I guess I was lucky with parking for the duration of my stay. I like the concept of recyclable water bottle in the room, and water dispenser in the hallway. I wasn't sure if it was indicated in the booking agreement but there was no toothbrush and toothpaste so I just bought.

The lobby felt welcoming and didn't feel formal like in a hotel. I prefer this dorm feeling.

The box containing the coffee cups, water bottle, and water heater had some cobwebs. The upper part of the walls of the toilet could afford some wiping.

We had great views of the city. The WIFI worked great when on the 6th floor or below, but not so great above the 6th floor. Shower had great water pressure and was warm. They also included shampoo, handsoap, and bodywash. They even opened the door each time you arrived at the hotel. There are plenty of snacks available for purchase if needed and games available if you get bored. The staff was very helpful when we needed help with tours or rides.

I stayed at the hotel for almost 2 weeks and if you are used to hotel style like being greeted at the hall ways and assisted by staff do not expect that here to happen the hotel gets busy and most of the staff are not that friendly. It's not that I have issues with some staff but you would observe things when you hangout at the lobby area at the 2nd floor. It even gets loud when the place is full and check in time is high. you have to be mindful when the place is busy and do not expect to be serve properly or be prioritized not gonna happen at the 2nd floor. If you want it more relaxed you can go to pods area at the lobby or try there roof top restaurant where people are more friendly and accommodating food is good but doesn't have that much option. the skype room and theater area is nice but it gets full easily.

This is the first time I have stayed at this franchise, though I was initially impressed, there are so many things that let it down, which is a real shame considering a large majority of the staff are helpful and friendly.
Firstly the things that clearly earn a 5 out of 5:
Welcoming and check-in: very friendly and very efficient - certainly up there with the best 5 star hotels I have stayed in.
Cleanliness: absolutely spotless! Very impressed!
Room cleaning and service: Again excellent! Room and bathrooms cleaned to a very high standard.
Room maintenance call: from my inability to use the TV correctly! They were there within minutes
The items that score 1 to 2 out of 5:
The top floor restaurant..the food quality is extremely poor, and god forbid you should ask one of the guys behind the counter a question...very rude and arrogant response. Certainly a change in management is needed in this area..and I would suggest this is made quickly. The customer service and care of food and drink quality is so poor it is mind boggling that the staff would have any motivation or enjoyment from their jobs. There was one exception which was a young guy with a Viking tattoo on his arm, who was very friendly and has great customer service...perhaps place him as the Manager...at least he cared and knew what customer service was all about!!

Would I stay there again? Perhaps...just for the fact the 5 out of 5 as detailed above, but I would be avoiding the restaurant.

For the price point and to just have a place to stay, it's an excellent choice. It's in a traffic congested area, so it's better to walk to short distances. Wifi is not that great. It's way better than a regular hostel or some 3-stars hotel but still can't be compare to a Hyatt. Will definitely stay again.
