2-Sterne-Hotels in Metro Manila, Philippinen

I enjoyed my stay, the staff are very accommodating. The room is neat clean, the amenities are good

Looking back at our time at the Airbnb—it wasn’t just about the place, but the memories we made under that roof. So grateful we had that space to relax and just be together. Definitely a stay for the record books!

The price is affordable, rooms are clean enough, and people are friendly. Also, it is convenient to travel to all destinations, equally close. However, there's only one hairdryer in the building, which makes it super inconvenient, and no slippers are provided. Another concern would be safety, Pasay city is more local, you can experience authentic lifestyle, but there are risks of getting into trouble I think. All in all, after living 3 days there, I would still recommend travelers this hotel.

The Studio 18 Residences, Pasig: Review Overall Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7/10) Title: Great Location & Friendly Staff, But Needs a Little Polish When booking a long-term or quick business stay in the Ortigas area, finding a place that balances price, location, and comfort can be a real challenge. The Studio 18 Residences in Pasig is a solid contender that mostly succeeds, offering excellent value for money, but falls just shy of a perfect 10 due to some small, yet noticeable, inconsistencies in the facility and experience. This is a dependable choice—a true 7 out of 10. The Good: Location and Service Are Top-Tier The biggest strength of Studio 18 is its location. It's tucked away inside San Antonio Village, which is a quiet and secure gated community, giving you peace of mind in a busy city. Yet, you're only a short, manageable walk away from major hubs like SM Megamall, Capitol Commons, and Shangri-La Plaza. If you rely on public transport, the proximity to the Shaw Boulevard MRT station is a huge plus. It’s an ideal base for shopping, working, or accessing neighboring Ortigas Center. The Staff deserves special mention. From the security guards to the front desk, everyone is genuinely friendly, accommodating, and quick to address requests. In a large metro, great service makes all the difference, and the team here is absolutely the highlight of the stay. The Rooms are surprisingly spacious, especially compared to newer, smaller budget studios. Many units come equipped with a small kitchenette (refrigerator, electric kettle, microwave in some), a comfortable desk for working, and good air conditioning. It’s a clean, safe, and functional space that is easy to call home for a few days or weeks. Areas for Improvement (Why It's a 7/10) The main drawback lies in the execution of the property's facilities and basic comforts, which occasionally feel a little dated or incomplete. * Facility Consistency: While some units might offer a full suite of amenities, the overall facilities rating tends to lag. Simple things like having a reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi connection that never drops, or ensuring basic bathroom items (like a foot rug or consistent soap refills) are always present, are areas where the residence can be hit or miss. * Accessibility Check: For those traveling with a lot of luggage, prepare to handle it yourself. There’s a noticeable lack of luggage ramps or a dedicated doorman to assist upon arrival, which can be a hassle, especially on check-in day. * Evening Access: While the gated community setting is safe, the convenience gates nearest popular dining spots reportedly close around 10 PM. This means if you are out late, you might have a longer walk back through the main gate, which can be inconvenient. Verdict: If your priorities are location, safety, and having a good, functional space with excellent staff—and you're willing to overlook some minor facility and logistics kinks—The Studio 18 Residences is a smart and affordable choice. It provides far better value than many nearby hotels. It’s not a luxury experience, but it’s a perfectly reliable home base in Pasig. A strong recommendation for budget-conscious business travelers and long-term stayers.

Ich hatte einen angenehmen Aufenthalt in Astrotel. Das Zimmer war sauber, komfortabel und gut gepflegt. Das Personal war freundlich, freundlich und schnell zu helfen, wann immer ich Hilfe benötigt hatte. Ein- und Auscheck waren reibungslos und ohne Probleme. Die Lage ist bequem, mit einfachem Zugang zu den Geschäften und Transport in der Nähe. Das Zimmer hatte gute Klimaanlage, ein komfortables Bett und eine entspannende Atmosphäre nach einem langen Tag. Insgesamt fand ich es ein großer Wert für den Preis. Ich würde sicherlich wieder auf Astrotel bleiben und empfehlen, es jedem zu empfehlen, einen erschwinglichen, sauberen und komfortablen Aufenthaltsort zu suchen.

Beim Betreten der Hotellobby spürt man sofort die Hitze. Offenbar bräuchte die Rezeption dringend eine funktionierende Klimaanlage. Es gibt nur einen Aufzug für Gäste, zum Glück wohne ich erst im dritten Stock. Die Lage ist für geräuschempfindliche Schläfer ungünstig, da man nachts ständig Auto- und Jeep-Geräusche hört. Wer jedoch in Flughafennähe übernachten möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Die Dusche ist leider sehr schlecht, es tröpfelte nur ein bisschen Wasser. Der Bademantel des Rezeptionisten hingegen war sehr nett und zuvorkommend.

Interesting concept, but unfortunately I would not stay here again. The room itself was quite interesting because it had two levels. I had never stayed in a room like this before, so it was a unique experience. The upper level is basically where the bed is, although I can’t say that climbing upstairs to go to bed was particularly convenient. There was also a lot of unused space in the room that could have been used much more effectively. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things that made our stay less comfortable. First of all, there is very little housekeeping. During our entire stay, nobody came to clean the room. The room also had almost no amenities - no toothbrushes, toothpaste, or even shampoo. We had to use our own shampoo, fortunately we had brought some. The Wi-Fi was another issue. It worked reasonably well on the lower floor, but once you went upstairs to the bed, the connection became very weak. This is especially inconvenient because the room is advertised as having Wi-Fi. The windows are also unusual. They are made of multiple plastic panels rather than proper sealed glass windows, and they cannot really be closed completely. Because of this, insects and other small creatures can easily get into the room, especially in the evening. Unfortunately, we actually found cockroaches in the room, including some very small ones. Another thing that left us very uncomfortable was the luggage storage situation. We arrived about 40 minutes before check-in and were told that we could not check in early, so we left our bags in the hotel’s luggage storage room while we went for a walk. We were given a simple ticket with a number. The storage room did not appear to have any cameras, and there were several staff members sitting there. When we came back to collect our belongings, we noticed that the staff were laughing and looking at us, which felt strange at the time. Only later, when we were checking our money before leaving, did we realize that 1,000 Philippine pesos were missing from our belongings. The amount itself is not huge, but it was extremely unpleasant. I am very careful with my money and am certain that I did not simply lose it. Unfortunately, we have no way to prove what happened or identify who took it. However, given that the money was missing while our belongings were stored there, the situation left us with a very uncomfortable impression and serious concerns about the security of the luggage storage. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this place. The two-level room is an interesting idea, and there is a lot of space, but much of it is simply unused. The lack of housekeeping and basic amenities, weak Wi-Fi upstairs, insects, unusual windows, and especially the incident with our money were all significant negatives. I personally would not stay here again. There are definitely better options in Manila, even if this place looks interesting at first.

My stay at Gemstone Coast Residence was very comfortable and relaxing. The room was clean, and the fresh-smelling beddings made it especially comfortable to sleep in after a long journey. Thankful to the accommodating staff and guards, who were kind enough to help carry my luggage all the way to my room. Their warm and helpful service made my stay even more pleasant. Highly appreciated!

Einiges, was andere Kommentatoren bereits schrieben, trifft sicherlich zu, doch ganz so negativ sehe ich diese Unterkunft nicht! Die Lage ist perfekt, der Service hat allerdings noch deutlich Luft nach oben. Aufgrund der überschaubaren Anzahl an Unterkünften in Intramuros sehen sich die Inhaber offenbar nicht in der Pflicht, Dinge, die verbesserungswürdig sind, zu verändern? Die beiden Zimmer, in denen ich übernachtete, waren okay. Besser war zweifellos jenes im 2. Stock, obwohl nur ein klein wenig teurer (Balkon, Wasserkocher, heller). Unverständlich finde ich, dass man erst beim Check in von dem Deposit erfährt (2000 Piso oder entsprechende Summe in US-Dollar, kein Wechselgeld). Wer nach lokalen Produkten sucht oder an Antiquitäten interessiert ist, sollte den Laden ”Silahis” (s. Foto) unbedingt aufsuchen. Ein tolles Erlebnis ist auch der Besuch des Restaurants ”Barbara's”. Beide Empfehlungen befinden sich in unmittelbarer Nähe des White Knight.

It was very dirty. Poor cleaning. Wifi not working Please don't use the restroom. Its so disgusting. I don't know how long it hasn't been cleaned.
