They still gave me a room with a window, which I really like. But somehow I felt like it was an upgrade or a makeover from my last visit. During my last visit, some features in the shower were not working properly: the shampoo dispenser, toilet seat cover, etc. This time, everything was fine I felt like I was in a 4 star hotel. But the windows really need cleaning from the outside. The staff are almost not Filipino for their professionalism and work ethic. They're obviously well-trained in hospitality standards, although the security guards are almost always on their phones, so they don't notice the guests approaching the door.

The slow elevator, but I'm not demanding it be changed. The room rates would go up if they did that. I liked everything. Best value for money. That's why I keep coming back during my layovers in Manila even though there are a lot of accommodation options around NAIA. You should be proud of that. I've used Savoy and, Holiday Inn Express and the cheaper Achievers Hotel for my layover stay near the airport but only Go Hotels Mandaluyong made me keep coming back. Access to the entrance is very difficult. So I always have to go down the driveway to pick up my Grab deliveries and Grab rides.

The staff are trained to be accommodating, although sometimes, there's one staff who's not that warm. The freshly ground and brewed coffee (machine) is always a delight. The food at the bistro on the lobby is affordable. There's a convenience store in the building. But the best part is the water dispenser evenly distributed among the rooms on each floor. I always book this hotel for my Manila 'layover' when I travel outside the country and back to Iloilo. I think some of my bookings are for standard rooms (probably those windowless rooms in the inner part of the hall) but the staff are always kind to assign to me a room with nice window views upon request. Thank you staff!!!

There's nothing to do in the vicinity. It's a hassle to walk to the nearest mall as there's major construction going on between the hotel and the mall. But when the construction of the mall (Robinson's maybe) is completed, the location would be great. Food delivery drivers are usually reluctant to deliver your food at the lobby entrance. So you'll have to go to the driveway to pick up your food. The hotel entrance is just oddly inaccessible. It might be a hassle (questions from security personnel) if you direct your Grab driver to the hotel entrance via the ground floor parking. Otherwise, you'll have to carry your suitcase up a flight of stairs, since the most convenient drop-off for Grab drivers is the driveway.

Rooms with good distribution of furniture such as bed, bathroom, shower. They also have a kettle, cups, TV remote control. 1 pair of towels for the shower and one for the hands. The staff is friendly and available to solve any problem or inconvenience that may arise. The building is large, the lobby is very welcoming. The following floors have wide hallways with wall-to-wall carpeting. Waiting areas outside the elevators with sofas, lounge chairs and coffee tables. I travel a lot on business and I can confirm that this hotel is better than others in its category, just check it out for yourself.

It's just a minor detail, but I didn't like the opening hours of the cafeteria where they also serve breakfast and snacks... It could close at 11:00 p.m. or at midnight. Anyway, it's just a detail that didn't really negatively affect my stay.

Fast check-in and check-out process. The room is always clean. Water pressure and flow in the shower and bidet are good. Free cold water for drinking is available. There's ATM/bank and convenience store in the same building. Also, the guard is especially helpful and attentive to guests.

İt would be nice if they have a (bigger) sign where the pickup/drop-off area to help taxi drivers and guests to know it the correct place. A bit of covered pathway from the pickup/dropoff area will be good too especially when it is rainy season.

For a layover in Metro Manila, I'd say this hotel is the best choice. Really cheap. There's a convenience store in the building and now they have a cafe at the lobby.

Accessing the entrance is always a hassle. There should be signages to guide the guests. If you get off at the driveway, you'll have to climb a flight of steps, which is okay if you're carrying a backpack. But if you have heavy suitcases, it's bothersome. If you get off at the floor level (side road) the (entrance) access is barricaded with a rope. There's nothing to do in the vicinity. The small mall is a hassle to walk to because there's construction going on between the mall and the hotel.

I like the location. I’m always booking Go Hotels Mandaluyong whenever I fly to Manila because of how accessible and convenient it is. Just a ride away to malls like Shang, and Megamall. Also, one of the reasons why I usually stay here is because the bathrooms were always clean - NO MOLD STAINS (black and pink molds) in the wall. Of all the Go Hotels that I’ve stayed, the rooms in Mandaluyong are spacious compared to nearby Go Hotels plus rooms smell good.

HOWEVER, during my stay here last Sept 16-17, the bathroom wasn’t that clean anymore. Bathroom floors were slimy and there were still soap scums plus, the shower area was moldy (there were black molds in the wall). I am allergic to molds that is why I feel a little bit disappointed this time. One of the main reasons why I go back to GH Manda is because of the clean bathroom, but my expectations weren’t met this time. :(

Everything is spot on. Of all the GoHotels I've visited, Mandaluyong never failed to impress me. From the heartwarming hospitality of the staff, to the minimalistic setting of the hotel, there is no doubt that I am coming back here once again ☺️

Sometimes, the wifi is fluctuating. And the only nearest establishment accessible to buy food is Uncle John. But other than that, I think that the price is worth the pay.

Late check-out and accessible drinking water.

The aircon in our 6th floor room wasnt working too well. We would come home to a kind of cold room (23°), but it starts getting warmer in the middle of the night and by the time we wake up the room temp reads 28°.

Location is pretty convenient. One of the reasons why I keep coming back is because the bathrooms are properly cleaned: no slimy and moldy bathroom walls unlike other budget hotels. This is a big deal for me since I am allergic to molds. Go Hotels Manda will always be my go-to hotel whenever I visit Manila.

They didn’t give me the requested room (booked room) maybe because it was fully booked that day. Since 2013, they usually give me rooms at the 6th floor. This time, I was assigned to the 5th floor and it wasn’t as comfortable to the 6th floor rooms where Im used to (facing Pasig River) — the layout and bathroom was different. It’s kinda small and didn’t like the obstructed view of Pasig River.

Clean bathroom

No bottled drinking water provided. Water dispenser is available at the hallway but as an overthinker, it can be kinda unsafe in a sense that pranks and bad guys can easily alter it. Bottled water is on sale at the reception. Slippers and hair dryer not provided in the room but you can request if needed.
