RedDoorz near Quiapo Church Manila — Hotel in Manila

I got to stay here because I'm ordered to follow protocol entering the country. I have to be quarantined for couple of days. However, I encountered couple of issues that I think I need to address with.|||| 1. When my flight was cancelled I wasn't given the opportunity to reschedule my date of arrival. Imagine how exhausting it is after a long flight to call agency after agency to get another connecting flights. I had to call to reschedule/cancel swab testing coz of the cancelled flight. I had to call the hotel in manila (RedDoorz near Quiapo Church) to bypass and to consider rescheduling the date of my arrival because it was so hard to get connected with an agent over the phone but it wasn't granted. So I ended up paying a night of a room without even staying in there. ||2. The front desk who checked me in was rude, not even helpful at all. I asked her when I checked in if there's a WIFI. She said its in the back of my key. When I got to my room. I checked the back of my key. It's a combination of number. I know I'm not blind but it never goes through. I called her and she said that's the only password she could give me. I called her again in an hour and she keeps saying the same thing so I gave up since its 2 in the morning and I just decided to fix everything tomorrow when I wake up.||3. I called the front desk about the same issue from the evening. They said the WIFI password is only located at the back of my room key. And they said they will try to look for something else and will call me back. 2 hours passed nobody called me. I had to go downstairs regardless I'm on 'quarantine' because no one seems to be helpful at all. Caught them laughing and chitchatting in the lobby when I'm struggling to get access to WIFI to settle some things to do with appointments etc. A nice lady came to my room and help me access the WIFI. It was quick. I asked her how she did it, She said there's a different WIFI password the management just happen to change it long ago and the password at the back of my key is so outdated. So I was speechless. From the night to the afternoon I was told the same thing that it was just at the back of the key.||4. I noticed 2 small cockroaches in my room which I don't really find it disturbing but for a business a running a hotel its a big NO NO NO. ||5. My second night was horrifying. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt something was crawling in my back. I was too tired and sleepy to care for it. About a couple of minutes my oranges that was just sitting in the table fell out from the plastic bag. I find it strange but I was damn tired. Later this morning I found out that there's a rat bite in my orange, my cheez whiz and even the soap that I placed in the bathroom sink had a bite on it. I called the FD and someone came in to my room. I was shocked to be asked by a guard to check if there's a visible hole anywhere in my room. He told me that how would a rat came in to my room when its all closed. I'm assuming he is not thinking of ME bringing a rat all the way from outside the country to here; from my almost 28 hours connecting flights. How on earth would I know where that rat came from?. I was also told that they make my room ready, cleaned and they always make sure there's no cockroaches or rat in rooms. Well, apparently this doesn't seem to be clean and tidy at all even the A/C is so dusty, tv and windows are full of finger prints. Which tells me that the those who visited me in my quarantine moment are the regular residents here. (Rat & roaches) Tho the bed linens were clean, I was provided with clean towels, soap, shampoo, toothbrush and small toothpaste. ||5. In the morning I asked for a spoon an hour later a guy knocked to my room and said they don't have any and told me to buy spoon from 7/11 (the full pack). But I decided not to, because what am I going to do with a lot of spoon? I asked a girl she was like 15-17 I think, I asked her couple of things and if she could get me a spoon. She came back with a spoon even with a fork too. I never felt so happy in that moment because I was just eating my food in the plastic bag. ||6. The internet is so slow. I can't even finish a movie with a loading screen time. I cant talk to my family or friends without buffering. I barely can't do anything at all. ||||There was only 2 person who were genuinely nice to me and I'm very thankful for, the one who gave me the WIFI pass and visited me in my room, and politely informed me that someone is monitoring me and I'm not allowed to go downstairs because I'm in quarantine and the girl who I think even run outside to get me foods because she was sweating and catching her breath. She got me spoon...

I booked a 9-night stay at RedDoorz due to business appointments in San Miguel. I arrived at the hotel at 5 AM and had to pay an early check-in fee of Php700—more expensive than the nightly rate—because I needed to prepare for an 8 AM meeting.

The initial room assigned to me was on the top floor (Room 7K). It was unbearably hot, the air-conditioning didn’t work, and there was no Wi-Fi connection. After returning from my appointment, I requested a room change. Thankfully, the front desk staff was accommodating and moved me to Room 2D on the second floor, which had strong Wi-Fi and a properly working aircon.

What I love about this hotel is its location—everything is nearby: restaurants, mini-marts, clothing shops, and even affordable appliances at Ra-On. There's also a coffee shop next door, and Quiapo Church is just a short walk away.

This was my first time staying in Quiapo, and I was pleasantly surprised. For the price, the hotel is very affordable and convenient. The new room they gave me was decent—basic but clean, with a working shower, toilet, and even a tabo and timba, though everything functioned properly. The bed and pillow were a bit stiff—I actually ended up with a stiff neck—but given how cheap the rate was, I really can’t complain. The bed was just right in size, though the power outlet was far from it, so I’d recommend bringing an extension cord.

One downside is the noise. The rooms are closely packed, so you can hear other guests and even the staff. If you're sensitive to noise, that might be an issue. But if you're not too picky and just need a budget-friendly, well-located place to stay, this hotel is a...

I was hesitant at first because of the recent reviews. But upon staying here for 2 nights I beg to disagree.

Yes some rooms doesn't have a towel yet, but you can ask for towel and toiletries they will provide it. But standard is rooms typically have a Towel inside - (they provide bottled water upon checking in) .

Service - they are fast, Customer Desk Hotline is attentive, Upon arrival I had a fast check in (I booked via agoda just 3 hrs before arriving) keys were provided, when I told the Front desk that I will extend for another night I asked him if I can change rooms due to wifi he endorse it to the other staff which made it easier for me to change rooms.

Cleanliness - it's 3/5 which is understandable for budget hotels, I don't really mind some small piece of Of left over condom packaging 🤣 as long as it's not the condom maybe it was overlook due to fast turn around of customers. Bathroom tiles is okay, I didn't see any insects inside the room. (4th floor)

Overall my stay was great, Staffs are great as friendly, location wise 5/5 if you plan to go to Fairview, Shaw, Cubao it's one step away from the hotel even the food establishment it's easily found in front of the building so you don't really need to mind your food and other...
