Paete Holidays

Yes, air conditioning was effective. Some areas of the room needs cleaning. Front office/reception was courteous and accomodating. Chairs upholtery needs thorough cleaning. Shower floor is slippery. Easy for shopping since Ayala Malls like Greenbelt, Glorietta are close, SM and Landmark are walkable. Breakfast is expensive. Baggage carriers are helpful. This place is safe

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
