I stayed at Astoria Tower 2. Location wise it’s good since it’s just a 10min walk to SM Mindpro and Canelar Barter Trade. Amenities needs improvement especially the facilities - room is not that clean especially the CR with visible black molds on the ceiling and vent which is very dangerous to our health. Breakfast is typical. Rice, eggs and 2 other variants. TV is cable, no free water, AC is noisy and wifi is slow. Aside from location, I like that they allow to leave your baggage once you checked out so you can still explore before your flight. Overall it’s good maybe for overnight or short stay but not for long.
What I liked most about the room was the window. The room felt safe and comfortable, although I was a bit confused about the closed door inside the room where we stayed.
The air conditioner was not as cold as I expected, but it was still manageable. The shower water pressure was quite low, and there was no warm water available, but we were able to manage during our stay.
As for the breakfast, I was expecting an English/Irish breakfast as advertised, but it turned out to be a Filipino breakfast instead. However, the food was still fine.
One suggestion for improvement would be to add a Smart TV or provide access to streaming services like Netflix so guests can enjoy their evenings more, especially at night.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay. Despite a few minor issues, the experience was good, and we appreciate the hospitality provided.
It was a good place for a large group to stay.
The water supply is very good, amenities as well.
It's far from the city and ideal to have your own vehicle or rent a car to travel from the city back to the apartelle, vice versa or anywhere else in the city.
Areas for improvement:
Receptionists must be ready to welcome the guest because booking was made ahead of time and was informed of the late check in.
We waited quite a long time to attend.
The distance from the city must be updated on the website and travelling time.
The contact number also needs to be updated because the number posted on the website is not the correct number. Not contactable.
Words of appreciation to the management:
We appreciated so much that despite the no refund policy, we still receive a little refund of our entire 4 nights booking.
We only stayed one night because of the far distance from the city.
Overall, the place is still recommended.
I will consider it in the future and include to
Plan the transportation.
Thanks Arkas apartelle management.
