The check-in process was smooth and efficient. The staff at the reception were friendly and welcoming, providing helpful information about the hotel amenities and nearby attractions. Their professionalism made a positive first impression.
To complete my holiday in the Philippines, I stayed at the Grand Westside Manila Bay. I was genuinely impressed by the beauty of the hotel. It has a wonderful ambiance, and the breakfast offered a variety of delicious options. Likewise, the in-room food service option were fantastic. My only disappointment was that there was no box of tissues in the room, which I needed for my cold. Additionally, my neighbors and their children were quite loud, and since the walls in my room were not soundproof, it wasn't easy to find some peace and quiet. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Manila, and I look forward to staying here again during my next holiday in the city.
[The Good]
Strategic Location: Perfect for a layover. Very close to the airport, which saved me a lot of time and stress.
Cleanliness: The rooms are well-maintained and cleaner than I expected for a hostel.
[The Bad]
Cold Shower: Please note that there is no hot water. Be prepared for a cold shower.
Bedding & Temperature Control: The room only has a fan, which was not a problem itself. However, they only provide a very thin sheet as a blanket. Even with just a fan, it felt quite cold at night, and the thin sheet wasn't enough to keep me warm.
[Verdict]
A solid, cost-effective choice for a short stay near the airport if you don't mind cold showers and bring an extra layer for sleep.
ผผู้เข้าพักMella Hotel offers a pleasant stay with some notable highlights. At night, the hotel truly shines thanks to its beautiful light decorations that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. However, during the daytime, the exterior looks a bit plain compared to its nighttime charm.
Inside, the experience is much better—the lobby and rooms are clean and well-maintained, giving a sense of comfort and order. The staff deserves special mention for being attentive and helpful throughout the stay. The GRO (receptionist) greets guests with a genuine smile and provides accommodating service, which adds a personal touch to the overall experience.
If you value cleanliness and excellent customer service, Mella Hotel is a solid choice.
