The hotel has been nicely remodeled and the rooms are clean and well appointed. There’s nothing else in terms of amenities - no restaurant, cafe, or anything else - but there are plenty available in the neighborhood. I would stay there again, but would request a room not overlooking the road. The traffic noise just can’t be blocked out. I had to change rooms after a noisy first night, but the staff were very gracious about it.

The bathroom curtain needs to be changed.
AC and TV should be checked before being ready for occupancy.

Thank you.

Remodelling of the property is needed. Bigger bathrooms with AC. I didn't have a window & my circadian rhythym was getting messed up.
Would be best if the whole place moved to another location because it's in a terrible spot.
No dining options.
They would not let me check in 2 hrs ahead of time even though the room was ready. Terrible. Phils is not now I had to go around to pass time & come back to check in... 😐😏
The staff was nice but the room was not.

5 Stars from me.

This is an excellent place located very close to the University of Santo Tomas (where I needed to be).

It was my second visit, as I consider that the overall value, for the price paid, is superb.

Very clean rooms - adequate for purpose.

The staff at reception are lovely and always willing to help.

Security guards are efficient, professional and extremely helpful.

I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to other travelers. If only they could improve the quality of the Wi-Fi in the rooms it would be perfect. I would happily pay a bit more for good room WiFi.

Having said that, the Wi-Fi in the Lobby is excellent, so I downloaded Netflix Films in the Lobby, to watch in my room.

Thanks again Oriental Zen for an exceptionally good value experience.

An amazing city hotel

My stay was amazing !! The hotel is in a really good location meaning that getting a grab to tourist attractions is really cheap. The staff on the reception desk were so helpful and also allowed me to get an early check in to my room after getting a night flight to Manila. The room was very comfortable. The wifi unfortunately doesn’t reach the rooms but that wasn’t really an issue for me. The only other thing I would mention is that the address of the hotel given is actually across the road from the hotel so don’t be alarmed if you get a taxi to the address and can’t see the hotel - it’s a little further up the road on the other side but very easy to see.

Please do not believe about their parking.
It says on their booking “parking included” but my niece and nephew were told that they have to park on the street and need to pay 100 pesos for tanod fee.

The room was clean and the staff were great but the pillows were hard - my only complaint.
