We arrived at the hotel around 2pm so immediate check-in was allowed. I was so impressed at the size of the room. It was big, so big you can fit several medium to large luggages on the floor if those are what you have. We were provided with 2 beds, I like the comfy mattress and pillows.👍👍👍 Also on the bed when we arrived were thick bathrobes, so thick that I thought they were the towels (in the form of bathrobes), because there were no towels provided at the time of check-in.
We rested comfortably for 2 hours before heading out to see the charm Intramuros, it's the very reason why we chose this hotel in the first place. For this reason, we made the right choice because it was literally just a few steps away from Casa Manila and all the other places of interest inside Intramuros.
From there, we were also able to hire an e-trike to go outside of Intramuros (Jones Bridge and Luneta Rizal Park).
In short, our day was full and we were looking to rest peacefully at our room in White Knight.
Here comes the CONS:
1. There's no WIFI signal in our room (102)! Say what? YEs, no WIFI. They have their silly excuses and I don't want to type in detail because it's ridiculous and triggering. If you want to connect to their free WIFI, you must go to the lobby. If there's no WIFI signal in the room, let's have the other option, connect to mobile data. Surprise! No signal for my DITO network as well. Bummer! I asked if we can be transferred to a room with signal, their best solution is a room at the 3rd floor. But but but, they have no lift (elevator). Mmmm I guess, I have no choice but to sleep...
2. Dang! Room 102 was truly the worst room to have a good night's sleep. This hotel is not gated, and outside our room was literally the cobblestoned streets where trikes pass by, people walk by, people stand by.😭😵💫😵💫
So even at 12 midnight, you can hear bikes, ebikes, people talking on the phone, people playing music from whatever gadget. Not my type of room to sleep in! No comfy bed, pillows, air-conditioning can compensate for the noisy alley just right outside the window.
So that's my review. Book in this hotel according to what you can tolerate. If this hotel's location is important to you, then opt for a room NOT on the first floor where it's still noisy at night, and there's no signal.
P.s. I wasn't convinced that the thick big bathrobe would serve as their towel, so I had to ask for real towels. It turns out, they failed to put real towels in our room before check-in. I also had to ask for welcome bottled water which was also supposed to be there upon check in. But I had to ask several times because they were waiting for delivery. I couldn't wait any longer, I settled for their service water. Thank you.
