RedDoorz @ Jardin LRT Tayuman Manila — Hotel in Manila

Location was perfect. Right next to the LRT means that I had immediate access to the best mode of transportation around. on the ground floor outside the hotel, you can find Jollibee across the street, Mang Inasal to the right of the gate, Greenwich and Watsons at the very same building, a 7Eleven right next to the hotel, BPI across the street from Jollibee, and it's only walking distance to SM City San Lazaro. If you don't mind the noise of the train, traffic, and music softly blasting at the distance, I highly recommend this hotel for a great location.Service was also great. The first room I was assigned to had non-functioning outlets and they moved me over to the next room over. Everything was perfect, just make sure to bring your own adapters in case none of your plus fit the sockets (Parallel Outlet with Grounding). Staff is also kind, berated by another guest because they forgot about the rule of no alcohol or smoking allowed in the building. They took it like champs and I do applaud them for their quick service.Cleanliness-wise, the closet was a bit dusty, but not too much. The bathrooms may vary, but they are clean. However, during my stay, some roaches and small worms enter the bathroom, possibly through the main drain hole. On top of that, the sloping of the bathroom doesn't lead to the drain, so you get pretty big puddles even just at the sink. It's not the best, but it isn't the worst either. Otherwise, I am still thankful that there is a heater included with the showers.For the amenities, they don't offer much, apart from being close to ones that are truly good. They do provide free bottles of water, a small tube of toothpaste and some toothbrushes, and a free roll of toilet paper. Their fridge in the lobby doesn't work, and if you do have issues with anything in the room, you can simply inform the staff and they'll sort it out quickly for you. The bedding is clean, comes with 2 pillows (I stayed in a standard room with one double bed) but the mattress is a bit tough, but I quickly got used to it.Overall, I do recommend this location, just make sure to read the fine print about what you can/can't do and/or bring into the hotel, just to make sure you don't end up like those previous guests I mentioned. They do clarify there and they do also clarify when you do check-in at their kiosk. And yes, it was pretty great staying at this location. Would love to come back the next time I visit Manila.Note: Pictures taken were after my stay. Everything looked better when I first came...

Got room 613 with a window where I could see Tayuman signage. Right next to this LRT Station and you go into the alley between Inasal and pizza restaurant. The Security of the building will ask you to sign your name in the log book and you take the elevator to the 5th floor. After registering with RedDoorz Reception, you’ll walk up 1 floor to 6th floor if you stay on 6th floor. Room is long so it’s so comfortable to stay. But room is old and bathroom is also old. Good hot water to shower. They don’t provide toiletries but they gave 2 small water bottles. The bath towels don’t absorb water well. Room has a basin same like a mini kitchen but no cooking pan and stuff. Still nice as I can wash fruits to eat. No kettle and no mini refrigerator as expected. Overall a large comfortable room to stay for less money. Had to find another hotel the next day as there were a few tiny roaches in bedroom and bathroom. The Receptionist didn’t show a sign of welcoming when seeing...

Staffs are friendly; one thing notable is the way the receptionist will find ways to make it easy for me to present other means of valid identification as I forgot to bring my original ID; she also mentioned the unavailability of some regular stuff being given to their customers due to holiday staffing limitation and supply deliveries. One of the cheapest but cleanest go-to hotels.Famous fast food restaurants are just a few meters away, such as Mang Inasal and Jollibee. Other fast foods are plenty, the same with local carinderias, as well as convenience stores and bakeries, which are all a walk away only.Very near government hospitals, namely Jose Reyes, Fabella, and San Lazaro. Leading banks are also in sight to access ATMs and other monetary needs.Public transport is readily available esp LRT 1 Tayuman Station is just around...
