Convenient location

Check-in was simple enough, room was a little disappointing for Junior Suite one would expect at least complimentary bottle of drinking water and basic toiletries such as a toothbrush and toothpaste. Hailing taxis were easy enough but most wanted to charge extra when told that destination was the Airport. And I felt that the taxi driver was taking the route with the mos traffic to 'bump up' the metered fee.

Business trip

The rooms are spacious, clean, and quiet.beds and pillows comfortable. Bathrooms are clean with hot and cold shower. A mall is just a block away, and there are bars , spas and restaurants nearby. It is also near the airport, train station and lots of taxis that passes by, so transportation is not a problem to anywhere within the metropolis.overall I will definitely stay there again.

Nice hotel with very helpful staff. A/C and clear room. No breakfast. Low pressure in the shower but this was not a big surprise. Located not far from the promenade, but surrounded by massage and girls bars...

가격 대비 무난

가격 대비 무난한 호텔 이었음.. 외관상으론 실망감도 있었지만 내부 시설을 보면 그냥 머 가격대비 고만고만 하다는 생각... 조식은 정말 실감이네요.. 호텔에서 제공하는 조식만 먹으면 못먹을듯합니다...

The Breakfast Package - that was ...

All's well that ends well..That is the best thing that could describe our recent booking at Malvar Hostel, and a much appreciated hospitality by the Hostel staff Jerome, from booking inquiry up to the last minute he was very composed and been very keen to our needs despite a little confusion about inclusion package of our booking. In the end, it was refunded by expedia. I must say, if it wasn't for Jerome who just happen to be on the end of the line every time I need to make a phone call during wee hrs due to time difference, we woudn't consider the place, but he seems to know his company by heart thus we just trust his words about their " Hotel" as he always says.
