Magallanes Square Hotel

It is near Balay Daku.

No elevators, not suitable for elderly people. Reception is hard to reach personally from the room, no stairs, ramp by wheelchair access, no telephone in the room, so hard to communicate if there is a problem.

The room was disappointing because it was a lot smaller than it appeared on the expedia app. It was expensive compared to other accomodation in the area and did not provide value for the price paid. There was no elevator to the room which was accessed via a series of ramps and steps. Lack of security meant anyone could walk off the street onto your floor as there was another entrance that could bypass reception staff. The small toilet had opaque plastic walls so it wasnt very private or far from the bed and if you were with a partner you would hear them in the toilet. The view was of some unmaintained overgrown jungle. And worst of all, there were no sunlight blocking curtain in the room, so the daylight made the room as bright as ever, ( no sleep in but good if you need to wake up at sunrise). No restaurant area fir a breakfast buffet but they serve breakfast in the room. Plenty of secure free parking but outdoors. The hotel would be ok if it was cheaper than the advertised P3,500 a night ( approximately Aud$100) . I stayed at Quest the next day for about the same price and was much relieved. I reccomend that this hotel put sunblocker curtain shades in the room to improve it and be more competitive in the description and prices.

The hotel was excellent and provided a nice, quiet, relaxing experience. Also, the staff was very kind, helpful and friendly. The breakfast options were good and it was conveniently located near other available restaurants. A great experience overall and will book again in the future.
