Frederick's Apartelle

Not bad, not great. Airconditioner was at bed level and the provided blanket was super thin (almost caught a cold lol). Asking for comforter will incur costs. Shower heater is available. Location was accessible though and parking is available. 11 hours and 22 hours stay available and hours start anytime upon arrival.

Review written is based on our stay in October 2019.* 5 stars for the price and convenience Pretty great, if the promo prices extends for a long time. Reminder that this is a 3-star hotel/apartelle, so it's NOT going to be a luxury experience. Contact them thru their fb page/messenger for their rooms and their rates. You can call them, too, to personally talk to the receptionist and ask your questions. Their fb contact is relatively responsive, and they provide both a landline number (PLDT) and mobile numbers (smart/TNT network). --------- PROS: --------- + food and room rates are affordable >> studio and 1-BR rooms are good for two, and additional head costs ₱350 + the whole place is colorful and clean + cards are accepted + secure: you can't enter the floors where the rooms are easily - there's a guard on duty all the time, and they know when someone exits the premises. + has standard facilities >> bathroom: shower with heater, working sink and toilet w/mirror >> free wifi w/strong signal >> has drawers and cabinets >> has dining and kitchen area (at least, for reg 1BR) complete with refrigerator and table for two + located at a convenient area >> Convenience stores are everywhere (7/11 and Ministop down the street, Poy convenience store found in the 1st floor of the apartelle building, and Mercury Drugstore found at the very end of corner Sierra Madre St. & Pinatubo St.) >> Atms (security bank and metrobank) and BDO bank branch @cor EDSA, Reliance st., laundry shops, cafe shops, sari-sari stores, and carenderias (aside from the carenderia found within the building or their food court) nearby. There's a hospital nearby too, and you're very near Boni Station (mrt 3). >> Easy to commute as you're drop-off points are walking distance from Reliance - or rather you have multiple drop-off points. And it won't take you too long to get there if you're coming from NAIA. >> Malls are everywhere! Lol --------- CONS: ---------- - metered/limited electricity use - kinda hot and bare rooms: they're complete in furniture (bed, sofa, and dining table for 1BR) but lack appliances except for a small refridgerator and bedroom AC (aircon); ac is not strong enough however, so it would have been better if they provided electric fans too - you are allowed to cook since a room/unit has a kitchen area but you will have to rent their kitchen equipment: cuttlery & china set, cooking utensils, and equipments such as electric stove, microwave, and electric kettle. On the brighter flip side, their prices are not daily/hourly rated! So you don't have to pay for them per use/day, and their rental prices are actually really cheap👍 For example, electric kettle costs ₱50 and cup & saucer costs ₱3 each pair, (and that's for the whole stay) so, rentals aren't too harsh on your wallet, if you're prepared. - there's no additional cost to reserve rooms but you're asked to pay the total room cost upfront upon arrival -- it's okay for you to *ask* to pay a partial amount first, though, if circumstances prevents you from paying the full amount of the room. The staffs are nice, accommodating, and easy to talk to, however, and they are very understanding, so fixing arrangements and negotiations won't be a big issue, in my opinion.
