Lonely Planet
"The location in a residential neighbourhood isn’t for those who are creeped out by isolated side streets. Other than that it’s a brilliant choice, and entirely unlike anything else in the area." Full review
Rough Guide
"The most atmospheric Filipino budget accommodation in the business district. The location isn’t great though: it’s a good walk from the Makati shops... The rooms are no more than serviceable."
