5 Stars from me.
This is an excellent place located very close to the University of Santo Tomas (where I needed to be).
It was my second visit, as I consider that the overall value, for the price paid, is superb.
Very clean rooms - adequate for purpose.
The staff at reception are lovely and always willing to help.
Security guards are efficient, professional and extremely helpful.
I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to other travelers. If only they could improve the quality of the Wi-Fi in the rooms it would be perfect. I would happily pay a bit more for good room WiFi.
Having said that, the Wi-Fi in the Lobby is excellent, so I downloaded Netflix Films in the Lobby, to watch in my room.
Thanks again Oriental Zen for an exceptionally good value experience.
