Others ang ginagawa nagbobook ng isa pang room tapos punta na lang sa room nyo.

Ganito din ginagawa ko.

Kuha ng 2 rooms, isang standard room tapos isang mas malaking room.

So far after pandemic restrictions, we tried 3 persons sa Mariposa at Rosal with extra charge.

Good day DM.

How much fee sa para sa extra person?

Sa kahit anong room ba pwede?

Hassle ngayon magpunta sa mall. Laging madaming tao.

Sobrang dadami pa yan dahil magpa-Pasko na.

Paano kumuha ng discount card sa sogo

Just ask for it sa reception pag check-in/check-out.

May mga promo ang Sogo dati na pag pinakita mo yun atm card mo or yun beep card mo upon check-in bibigyan ka ng discount sa room rates.

12H - 1395 - 1475 w/o breakfast

12H - 1695 - 1775 w/ breakfast

24H - 2095 - 2195 w/ breakfast

Overtime - 295 - 295

 

Nagmahal pero wala halos improvements.

 

P.S. : Olats din yung advertized nilang netflix and chill. Libre nga yung netflix nila pero magaagawan kayo sa netflix account na meron dun. Mabagal din ang wifi kaya mauubos oras kaka-loading ng palabas. Iwasan nyo rin yung room 40, masikip at ang iksi ng kama. Masisipa nyo na yung pader kung saan yung TV kung matangkad kayong tao.

Inflation is real.

yup as far as I know

Sa lahat ba ng VC ito @darkmaster? 

Di na ba sila nag-cha-charge ng fee for an extra person?

Ang sinasabi ko dito, I want to freshen up o kaya gusto kong magpahinga/umidlip sandali para makaakyat agad sa room. So far pumayag naman yun receptionist na paunahin ako sa room. May isang beses lang na pinasundo sa akin yun girl sa lobby tapos sabay na kami umakyat ng room.

Not a haunted motel story but a haunted hotel story. International edition pa.

A female friend of mine used to work in a hotel in Dubai. Forgot the name though. For the first couple of months, may nararamdaman siyang ibang vibe sa certain rooms dun sa hotel an pinagtratarbahuhan nya. She was hired as a receptionist pero para may extra cash sya, she works as a housekeeper during her off hours - parang overtime nya na yun.

So madami na syang weird experiences habang naglilinis ng mga rooms - kusang bumubukas yun shower, patay-sindi yun ilaw sa room, biglang nagugulo yun beds kahit na kakaayos lang nya. Nun nakausap nya yun mga matatagal na nagtratrabaho sa hotel, may nagconfirm sa kanya na may mga ganong experiences din yun ibang housekeepers. 

After nun, di na siya nag part-time an housekeeper kasi it creeped her out. 

Sogo and VC are the standards that other establishments try to reach.

Eurotel Manda. 

If you are pertaining to the one along Edsa near Shaw, rebranded na ito, Sogo na.

Under renovation yun buong hotel but they are doing it flor by floor so may available rooms pa din.

Anyone tried Sogo ShawBlvd.? I forgot what hotel it was prior. 

 

Thank you!!

It was Eurotel before and then naging Hotel 286. IIRC yun signage sa EDSA, Hotel 286 pa din ang nakalagay pero yun signage sa likod pati yun mga signs at branding sa lobby at sa mga rooms Sogo na. 

Ang kulit lang dito kasi yun lobby may part dun na restaurant so madalas may mga families or mga tropa na kumakain. Medyo awkward lang pagkalabas mo madaming tao ang makakakita sa iyo. Sana may partition pa din para may privacy

Closest would probably be Eurotel in front of Rob Manila sa may Pedro Gil.

Mahirap magshort time na dyan sa mga VC pasig lalo na walk in ka. Last ko na check in dyan kelangan pa ng advance booking or mapipilitan ka kumuha ng 12 hrs or 24 hrs rooms. Kadalasan walang available na room pag walk ka.

Nice hotel sa may crossing na malapit sa shaw? Yan ang isa sa worst kong napuntahan. Ok yung itsura ng reception pero pagpasok mo yung elevator luma na parang may plywood pang nababakbak at amoyt luma yung place. Yung mga kwarto rin parang luma at hindi masarap yung pagkain. Thats way back pa. Nagimprove na ba sila ngayon?

Style ng mga staff ito para mapilitan kumuha yun guest ng mas matagal na oras.

Haven't been to Nice Hotel sa Shaw. Sa labas pa lang pag tinignan mo, mukha ng fire hazard.

kulet pala cuneta branch, maya't maya may eroplano.. lol

Yup. Malapit kasi sa airport. 

Go to branch ko ito dati along with then VC Gil Puyat branch (Hotel Ava na siya ngayon).

Nalipat ako ng homecourt kaya iba na din go to spot ko ngayon.

If you are talking about the one along EDSA, it was previously Eurotel and then the name was changed to Hotel 286.

However, it changed to Sogo. Weird though because the signage along Edsa read Hotel 286 but the signage at the back and branding inside the hotel is Sogo. Most of the rooms have undergone renovation so everything is fairly new. Renovation is still ongoing though so there are floors that are not yet available.

Plan ko sana mag book sa Hop Inn, 3 kami pero hindi sila mag oovernight, ako lang. Papayag kaya ang hop inn na pumunta sila sa room?

Yes, papayag pero may visiting hours sa Hop Inn AFAIK. Up to 10pm lang yata ang mga guests.

Recently tried Dokito Burger. 

Masarap nga. Good value at Php70.

What's the big deal with all those smash burger joints sprouting like mushrooms?

Wendy's burgers are chef's kiss for me. Good price range and great taste.

+1 sa Bebang's

Yun quarter chicken with rice ng Chooks is a current favorite.

OG mall here.

Makati Cinema Square (MCS) now known as Makati Central Square.

There's a jazz bar in the mall now plus another bar in the basement.

There are discounts when you book through Agoda, Booking.com, or TripAdvisor.

Just choose what suits your budget.

Not as good as nung dati. There's free Netflix though.

Literal na Netflix and chill.

Hahahahaha!

Thanks for the input bro.

Condo living has its pros and cons and so far the pros outweigh the cons.
