These above hotels know very well how to handle a customer.
Although not to international standards but at least a big margin over other "pinoy" hotels.
If u have been to Philippines, u know how they do work.

As I'm still a newbie in Balibago, I have not have a chance to try these hotels mention by bro Ah Hia. I did went to view Bangkok hotel's standard room but it was quite crampy. I had tried Lorietta's Apartelle, A Hotel, Cox Hotel, Sun Moon Hotel, and Tiger Hotel only. However my prefer one is Tiger Hotel, the high occupancy is the problem with this hotel.

Tiger Hotel's new website

I decided to call them up. Made a reservation. They promised to send me an email to confirm. Nothing, even after a few days.

I called a total of 3 times and each time they said they will send an email confirmation but it never came.

I wonder if any bros has encountered this and how did they confirm their reservation and hotel airport pickup.

Thanks in advance!

U fcuk the front desk for what ?
How u know for sure they are the ones handling the emails or reservations ?
Just let it be and feel good that u know their pattern before u check in there.

I'd rather u stay in Central Park as opposed to Orchid Inn.
CP can reply ur emails faster !

Cheers !

maybe because tiger is in the midst of FA.

I recommend Clarkton - and they provide shuttle to FA from the hotel, and also Phoenix hotel - just along perimeter ...

This place sounds interesting. my cheong place is LOS
maybe one day will pay a visit to this place.

When they know they been caught with their pants down, and no more chance to plead innocence, they will use the ultimate sentence... " I sure you understand, we are filipina...".

Pretty spot on.

That is the nature of the Filipina. Though they don't quite say that way. Still, they are fun loving people. Live and let live.

The 3 hotels i've mentioned are good for first timers and newbies to the Philippines or those who are not that adventurous to try staying further away.

As for me, I will not stay there cuz
1) Too expensive
2) I'm hardly in the room to fully utilize the facilities
3) I dun fcuk chambermaids or front desk girls, so service is not important.

All i need is basic necessities for the job to be done and a good nights rest.
So i always look out for hotels that cost 1000p or less.

Never stayed in RA for a long time.
Last time i stayed there was a few years back when their cheapest rooms were US$16 a night !!!

13-16 in Bangkok leh....sorry !

[inluv07]

I stayed at Hotel Ramadas (Rich & Rich) last year. Located on the same road as Tiger Hotel, about another 150m further in

Good value for money; only 1000p for cheapest room, basic but clean. Has a pool plus provide free airport pickup and dropoff (save 600p)

Stopped staying there when news of Malaysian tourist who stayed in hotel next to Tiger was shot dead on his way back to hotel during daytime. Now I rather pay a bit more & be close to where the action is. I only go to Perimeter in the daytime & head to fields as it gets dark. Not worth the risk

Enjoy Bangkok bro Ah Hia

So if someone gets shot on fields ave, will that stop u from going there or staying there also ?

It's a one off incident.
Unless it's happening every other day or night, then it's something to worry about.

Cheers !
