Rizal Park Hotel

The staff were very welcoming and helpful

Run down hotel and no way would qualify to be 5 star

It as convenient for the purpose our trip

It was such a long walk from the lobby to our rooms

Loved the actual hotel- it is beautiful with an amazing history. We plan on traveling with our family next year and may re-visit We are Australian and loved the pool- but were confused about how to get towels and there was no service in the pool area (drinks or food) The pool was good in the heat

DO NOT ORGANISE A PICKUP/ DROPOFF WITH THIS HOTEL- GRAB IS SO MUCH CHEAPER The pre organised pick up fee is ridiculous! Do not do this- just do a 'Grab' at the airport- make sure you have the App. Unless they are prepared to negotiate a more reasonable price after this review. It's absolutely ridiculous! My actual amounts - We organised a driver with the hotel prior to arrival, and the airport to hotel driver price was Philippine Dollar PHP 2000, I'm Australian so Au $47. When leaving we ordered a 'Grab' (after recognising the ridiculous price) and the total transaction (including the international transaction fee) was PHP 346, Au $8.00. So, a massive difference of-Philippine dollar approx. $1600 ( Au $37). So the total difference is- 2000-346 =PHP- 1654 (AU $38.46) Can't say it any other way- DO NOT ORGANISE AIRPORT TRANSPRORT WITH THIS HOTEL They also need to consider the pool staff- we didn't know how to get our towel and there were no staff to serve us at the pool (for food and drinks) and they also had signs up saying that we cannot have our own food and drinks but they had no staff to serve us, this was very confusing. So ...we can't bring our own drinks and there is no staff- LITERALLY NOT A PERSON TO HELP if you are wanting to swim and enjoy this pool, and you cannot order a drink- because there are no staff in the pool area. So...sounds awesome- accommodation close to city with pool-not what you get!!

The shower was amazing and the aircon.

The building is dilapidated and badly need a refurb. Not sure what decade those pictures were taken but it wasn’t this one. Windows were the first thing I noticed as they were filthy.
