First and foremost, I'd like to commend the very accommodating staff. They were professional, courteous, easy to approach and helpful.
Rooms were decent considering how cheap we got them; clean & orderly. Cabinet space could be bigger and the commodities provided such as the free toothpaste and shampoo should reflect the number of guests per room (i.e. 3 towels =/= 4 guests). This was something easily remedied though with room service.
Our booking did not include the breakfast so I could not say the worth of that. However, we managed to eat at the pension restaurant on our second day in the afternoon. Prices were not too steep and the servings were plenty. An example of this is the spaghetti we ordered, priced around 150, which could serve 2 people.
The neighborhood is completely safe. I managed to walk the road at around 12 AM of our last night. It's a busy road so people were still out and about, lots of restaurants and convenient stores accessible with a little walking too.
The biggest problem you'd probably face is the heavy traffic. Once rush hour kicks in, it's almost impossible to get a taxi (Grabbed or Not). Jeepneys are also full at this time sadly.
To summarize: The rooms were comfortable. The area was safe and well-lit at night. Crew and service was also nice. Will book again if I'm looking for someplace CHEAP, SAFE and NEAR the places I want to go to.
