I had an ok stay at Joyce Apartelle. I arrived very early on May 2nd. Check in was average with time taken to fill out the check in application. I climbed 3 flights of stairs (No elevators).

The room did contain a floor fan which greatly helped cool the room. The Bathroom was typically asian small, but serves its purpose. The hotel location is well placed for restaurants, malls, and convience stored (There is a SM mall within a short walking distance), as well as local food stalls and vendors. I was satisfied overall with my stay, but would suggest a stronger a/c, The Floor fan was much appreciated. ||||Stayed...

A home away from home. I enjoyed 8 days here in August 2012 and would...
Read moreHave stayed at Joyce Apartelle - Mandaluyong several times in past years... The rooms are roomy (recommend room with kitchen/cooking facilities) and clean... The location is close (walking) to take-way, supermarket and fresh market... The major malls SM Mall, Star Mall and Shangri-La Plaza' are a quick 15 minute cab or jeepney ride... The staff are very, very good - from reception to room service - always ready with a smile... And the room rates are more than reasonable when compared to local motel room rates... I recommend Joyce Apartelle for o/night, medium or even longer term...
