The place looks run down. Needs fresh paint. Pillows are flat. Bedsheet and towels are old and frayed. No iron. No cable. Breakfast is always late. Not worth the price I paid.

No sleep until 5am

Don't get any rooms next to a wedding group. I had too bang on their door at 3am because I couldn't sleep. They thought it was their right too keep everyone else awake. Hotel staff did nothing except told me it was a wedding party. Explains why NONE of their parents wanted the room next too them.

The room was very average. The faucet in the bathroom had insufficient water pressure. After taking a shower there was lots of water in the bathroom (curtain was wrongly placed). The lift towards the 4th floor in tower 2 had wrong settings. The lift door was squeezing the last person entering.

Not so good. I think just because I booked through Hotels.com, they gave me a second floor room next to the street. It was very noisy early in the morning. The room also smelled of dank and sewage that has not been cleaned in a long time.

Room was nice, it was spacious and had a lot of furniture. Location of the hotel was also near the mall and a lot of public transportation is available just outside the hotel. Only issue I encountered was the breakfast was not delivered the following days.

It was near the town but the rooms are not sound proof. I checked in for an important online seminar but I was hearing the television of the room on top and the hallway sounds of children shouting and people talking are also heard

Has basic gaps but makes effort to be responsive

No hotel is really perfect. Thus, what is equally important is how the hotel appropriately rectifies or makes up for the gaps and deficiencies to make guests as comfortable as possible. Astoria Zamboanga is such hotel. I found the cleanliness and overall condition of my room very poor. Initially, the room was tidied up upon my request. But the staff did not stop there; they transferred me to another room, which was not only better maintained but also was bigger and of better overall condition.

Its great that the hotel is in the city. The staff are friendly and no problem. But the facilities may need improvement. The elevator is too slow and needs upgrade, its not yet full with people but its already alerting with overloaded. The water in the dispenser in the hallways is not cold. They may also need to improve breakfast.

There was no hot water. No mobile phone signal, and the wifi was extremely weak. There are bed bugs. the sheets gave me a rash and itchy. Terrible hotel. Will not be booking this establishment again. I would give it less than a star.
