A lot of mosquitos in the bar area- they opened it for extra seating. Also, when the hotel was busy, they closed the kitchen. So no ordering of food was available. Unfortunately, my son was sick at that time and i was really inconvenient. It was for one and a half day. Although the staff actually allowed me to order chicken and rice cause i explained about my son being sick. The staff was wonderful!

Rooms are falling apart, 1 pillow provided for each guest, no hand towels for the bathroom, you literally have to slam the bathroom door several times to get it to close, shower handle looks like its about come off, The only hotel we ever stayed in with 99% of staff looking miserable, no smile , greeting or acknowledgement not even for hotel guests. Too many hidden charges, the only hotel with visiting hours. Definitiely not worth your money, the worst hotel our family have ever stayed in!

Not saying much but this us the best in Zamboanga

This hotel is very close to the airport. There are not any restaurants nearby to walk to. There is not a convenient store or grocery store year by. But this is the beat Zamboanga has to offer.

Sit long enough in the restaurant at the Garden Orchid and you can meet anyone in the political, business or military elite, particularly the main political players in the islands: Basilan, Sulu and Tawi Tawi. The rooms are large and comfortable, the wifi and hot water work well, and the staff is great. Service for anything is extremely slow -- absolutely glacial in the restaurant -- but that's minor compared to all the good points.

All pool staff were on their cell phones and was not very helpful. They locked both pool access doors in the hotel and forced guests to go through the main lobby which is on the other side of the compound.

This property tired and in need of an upgrade. Very pricey and not worth it. I am not recommending this hotel.

Sidney

Disliked: Cleanliness
The Garden Orchid has steadily declined in quality over the last five years without reducing prices. It is now barely a 1-star hotel at 4-star prices. I was in the old wing, and woke up at night to find my bed infested with ants and my body bitten all over. The toilet was sluggish at best and the pillows were like rocks. I have stayed there frequently in the past, but I will never stay there again.

Disliked: Amenities
Pros: Hotel is the closest to the airport. Easy access to transportation for commute. Lots of nearby restaurants Breakfast food is great! Cons: Room needs some remodeling and AC is only working at the main lobby. The walk going to the room is humid. Room is outdated. Bath-tub is outdated and slippery. My 70-year mother slid and luckily did not have any injury. AC is not cold. Internet is slow. Not worth the overpriced hotel rate for the room condition.

I liked the size of the room: we had a suite, which was nice. The bathroom didn’t provide warm water for a shower, which was disappointing. The elevator to our room was a long walk from the lobby: not very conveniently set up. And while the hotel is big, it seems to be an older hotel that is in need of a refresh: the paneling is tired and dinged up. There’s no discount to compensate for the state of the hotel, either.

Room had debris under furniture and an odd smell. Cockroach in elevator area. Connection from old hotel to new tower not at same level. Fruit choices at breakfast very few. Tables not cleared promptly. Windows dirty. A/C in room worked well, room spacious, well located. Staff responsive.

I think this hotel has seen better days. We have stayed here for years when we visit Zamboanga but this visit was very disappointing . Buffet food was not kept hot which is unsafe . Staff was not attentive , bathtub drain was clogged and we saw roaches in the room. The towels were old and rough and looked liked rags . The place needs a makeover and leadership to regain its former reputation . We will be staying at a different hotel in the future.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
A disaster from the start. The room smelled horribly musty and the toiet didn't flush. The safe indicated a low-battery which caused me not to use if for two days. The room was in a distant wing where no amenities were located. The complimentary breakfast buffet was quite good with a nice selection of fruits and local/western options. The pool and central grounds were very nice and it was very, very easy to hail a tricycle to go anywhere in town. Extremely convenient to the airport, but they should warn clients that the airport will be over-run by hawkers grabbing your luggage and pushing you to get into cars with no guidance from the airport on what might be scams or worse. Be aware the hotel is about a 3 minute drive from the airport so keep that in mind. And also, that the hawkers were very aggressive but I didn't find them dishonest in any way..
