Studio 89 Katipunan QC

The space was super clean and I would have loved to stay for a few more days. Unfortunately, I had to leave early because I booked the wrong dates. Thank you! Will definitely book here again.

Friendly staff, clean and spacious room

Great hotel for the price. Staff was professional and polite. Remember to bring cash for the deposit (1000 peso).

There is no decent cafe or restaurant nearby. The closet has an unpleasant smell. The saving grace is the attentive and gracious staff. The room maid is quite honest. We left a tip in the room during cleaning day (without a note though that it was for them), when we returned to the room, the money was still there! The deluxe twin room, though, is spacious. There are complimentary coffee and water daily. Also, they helped us with our laundry. Sadly, their massage service was not available during our stay.

This place is close to UP town centre and University. not much of amenities but they do have a gym in the building and clean as well. I will go back to this place.

I stayed for two nights in December as I was going to watch the UP Lantern Parade and I needed a place to stay in while I was in QC. I didn't have any expectations booking here, but the photos seem to be good enough. When I arrived, I'm pretty content with the room, very spacious, looks a bit outdated, but I can deal with it. Seems clean too. My only issue with the room was the shower drain. The shower floor was tilted on the opposite side of the drain, so the water was collecting to one side instead of the actual drain. I stayed in the standard double room. I noticed based on the room images projected on their reception area that the deluxe room seems to have one less dresser cabinet so it seems like the standard is a better option, unless the deluxe has bigger beds. Staff are very nice, they always greeted me when I come and go. Contrary to the previous reviews (which was from a year ago), they now accept credit card for payment. They do need P1000 for deposit, which you can get back when you check out, so it's better if you provide cash as reversal might take a while if you're using your credit card. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast, but the area has a lot of "karinderya" where you can buy your food from. There are also laundry shops and convenience stores nearby. As for location, it is very near to the Katipunan LRT station and walking distance to the UP-Katipunan jeepney station.

This hotel provided us with the perfect stay. The staff are excellent; very professional and attentive. After the first night here I extended my stay for another 12 nights. I stayed in 3 other hotels in Manila before finding Studio 89; this hotel is the only one that did not have any hint of a musty odour. If you are sensitive to odour, this hotel is an excellent choice. It's also close to the University of the Philippines and to the UP Town Centre with many quality restaurants (especially Japanese foods).

There is a tricycle station right outside of the property which can take you anywhere around Katipunan, and even inside Ateneo.

nice clean place and very friendly staff. my room was kept clean every day.
