The best hotel near Tondo
Excellent buffet breakfast, the kids love the kiddie pool. It is close to Deca Mall where the kids go everyday to the playhouse and come back to a quiet, comfortable, secure hotel. Hotel starr is easy to work with.

Average stay
Staff were very attentive and polite. Room was okay, mattress was very firm and we had 2 baby cockroaches too. The shower flooded very easily as the drain seemed to actually be uphill of the floor, meaning not all of the water will ever drain. Very loud neighbours with children running around screaming, although this is not the fault of the hotel.

Grand opera, stopover
We had a good stay in Grand opera as usual. Only stayed 1 night. But as many times before it was a welcoming experience, there's hot water, clean room and good breakfast.

Fantastic value, nice pool and sauna. Rooms were good. Mattress a bit tough but okay. Breakfast in the morning was nice. Access to the LRT railway station directly from the platform. Hot water shower. Enjoyed my few nights here and would return. Staff professional and courteous.

The location is really good, situated near terminals and there's a path going straight to LRT. My kids had fun and enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed the steam room too.
Free breakfast is just okay and basic.
The TV is just basic, no Smart apps, just basic channels,ang so we just didn't use it. The exhaust in the bathroom is pretty loud and noisy, so taking a shower is not that relaxing. No other switch to turn it off. Staff are polite and accomodating

A hotel with historical significance!
Location is central with direct access to public transport. Room is good sized. Mattress is too firm for me. Although towels are clean, I would kindly suggest to change to new ones as they look old. Pool is good sized and there is a service elevator to avoid the main lobby. There is a sauna room but I did not use this. Food is average for me. The staff is brilliant. They are all friendly, polite and very helpful. There is a casino on-site and entertainment in the evening. There is a supermarket across the street too. Parking for guest is available. I will stay again.

Great staff, obviously run by a Chinese group as the menu is all Chinese food, which is very good 👍
On the down side was told they are putting me in a recently upgraded room, however the bathroom sink had had a big chunk off the side glued back on with mastic and the toilet seat won't stay up and no soft close, room 305, thats it, the rest was 😃👍
