Poblacion Holidays

Easy walking distance to public transport & the mall. Friendly staff. Very basic rooms but good value for money

Great location - in the heart of Binondo and close to Intramuros. Helpful and friendly staff - they are always willing to help for example, in answering questions about places of interests, booking a cab, and even haggling for a trike.

Like: Top of the line amenities…Full size oven, stove, dishwasher, fridge, AND Washer & Dryer. Large shower and lots of storage for clothing including walk-in closet. Also, liked the pool/pool-side dining AND the fact that you have multiple restaurants INSIDE the hotel. Don’t feel like going outside? Simply walk down to either Asian, Mexican, Italian, or American style dining inside! Dislikes: As gorgeous as this property is…it is also HUGE!!! Three total towers…I’m guessing that’s why it’s difficult to keep the rooms clean. I immediately noticed the stains on the white barstools when I walked in the kitchen. When showering for the first time, I couldn’t close the shower door completely (had to call front desk)…the “waterfall shower head” didn’t work but I didn’t complain because it wastes too much water anyways. Also, I’m guessing it’s so hard to get clean towels & linen because staff figures the rooms have washers & dryers…wash your own towels? Lastly, who ever designed these beautiful rooms put “frosted” glass in the walls. To some no big deal, but I didn’t like that my guest could see my naked silhouette or every move I made including in the bathroom! And of course these designs are not very sound proof. Overall I would still stay again and recommend staying at the Alpha suites. Compared to other properties in Makati, you won’t find much better.
