Manila | Gran Prix Hotel Suites - Accommodation
It is a budget hotel considering its location and price. I booked the hotel at Agoda.com, base on Trivago app, they have the cheapest rate for that hotel + service fee and taxes.
Standard room features;
- 12-14sqm room
- double bed
- own toilet & bath with hot shower
- telephone
- 2 sets of toiletries per day
- FREE BREAKFAST (buffet style but not eat-all-you-can)
- vanity mirror with chair
- cabinets and drawers
- side table with light switches and outlets
- wall mounted cable tv
Pros:
1. Walking distance to the US Embassy.
2. Free daily breakfast
3. You can request for another set of toiletries if you're staying more than a night.
4. Friendly, accommodating staff and helpful guards.
5. Near Robinsons Manila
6. Walking distance to Ermita Church
7. One ride to Baclaran church
8. Free WIFI connection (good connection too, I had my dose of online movie marathon lol)
9. Despite being in the busy street the sound of the cars outside are not noticeable.
10. They have their own restaurant, but Fastfood chains and Robinsons Mall is just a few steps away.
11. One ride away from the touristy spots and art museums in Manila. Near Ocean Park, SM Moa, Luneta Park, Manila Ocean Park and more.
12. It has big Toilet and bathroom
Cons:
1. The room where I stayed (rm 313) which is in the middle portion near the elevator doesn't have a mobile signal. But WIFI signal is good.
2. Very busy street, so expect pollution outside. (lol)
3. Doesn't have signage that can easily be noticed, so if you are coming from the airport just look for the city-state savings bank or Casino Filipino along Mabini Street, Gran Prix is just beside them.
Overall I enjoyed my stay at Gran Prix. It was also a nice venue for me and my siblings to bond while I'm in Manila. My sister stayed with me during my stay. My brother visited us at the hotel on my last night of stay.
