Hotel Rembrandt

had a wonderful stay, the staff are very accommodating

I’ve been in this hotel before a few times several years back and I believe it was one of the decent ones until today. Here are my thoughts: 1. Reception Area - When we entered the hotel, we were welcomed with an awful smell. It was like a wet carpet that didn’t dry. 2. Everything was really old and unkempt from the lobby, elevator, hallway and the room. 3. Carpet in the hallway was dirty, lots of stains. 4. We had a room key…literally. And we had to surrender it to the receptionist when we go out of the hotel. I mean what if our stuff gone missing? Will they be reliable for it? Locks were flimsy. It didn’t feel safe at all. 5. Room - We paid 3k ++ and was really disappointed when we opened the door. Everything is dirty. All the furniture have chipped paints. Carpet looked dirty. Bedsheet looked unwashed. The window was dusty that you couldn’t see a thing. Anything that has steel has rust all over. I think the good thing about the room are the aircon and bed. Overall, this is something I would never pay for 3,000php. 6. Food - Going back to the price, we expected to have at least a buffet breakfast but instead, we had a set breakfast. Although, they gave us an option to upgrade our breakfast to buffet by adding 250php and so I availed it. To be fair with, their food was good. Though it had minimal choices but it was pretty decent. 7. Staff - They were actually nice and friendly but they are quite loud. At the dining area, they kept talking in loud voices. During our check-out, staff continued chatting loudly. Overall, I’m not going to recommend this hotel because it’s pricey (not worth your money), dirty, and it smells.
