Bolboc Holidays

This is my honest review of Prince Plaza II. I have stayed in this condotel or hotel in previous years but my last stays in April and in November were not as satisfactory compared to my previous stays. No more free breakfast, the elevator is not operating automatically, you have to call for the operator if you want to go down. As far as safety is concerned, it is safe. Make room is on request, my bed was clean. Shower floor is slippery. Shopping malls are walking distance. Transportation is easy to get. Personnel is friendly and helpful. An added TLC in the room would be appreciated by previous and new guests. Oh, the last room I was assigned into was next to the cleaning personnel's headquarter and it was noisy at times. Closing of room door was loud and at point, someone was pounding something when I was taking an afternoon nap.

Easy access to airport

the only thing concerns me is their carpet too old and dirty

This is a nice hotel right in old Manila. That means narrow roads, foot and vehicular traffic with hit and miss sidewalks, crowded, chaotic with people from various walks of life. It’s right beside Binondo church (Dominican 1596) and it’s the “first Chinatown” across the river from Intramuros which is the Spanish colonial fort. The modern infrastructure like electricity and communications can be seen to be retrofitted as times modernized; these were the first models of lessons learned in the present urbanization playbook. In many ways the place is frozen in time and for me, that’s the charm.

Staff was very accommodating
