Rizal Park Hotel

Pool was closed. Mini fridge was upon request. Room decent size. Needs improvement in buffet breakfast selections. Overall good.

The Hotel got opened in 2017 as far as I know, and it's already run down. Its glorious days are over. Butt he classic architecture and the history of the building it's still impressive and I liked that very much. What I didn't like was the service, and the breakfast buffet. Other guests around were also complaining that this buffet was worth the money. Also as often, plenty of staff members walking around in worn out uniforms and shoes, with mobile phones on the pockets which they check regularly. When I checked out I had to wait until they had checked the room- did not expect that from a place like that. I waited, got my pass to leave and left. But I forgot to validate the parking ticket. So I returned to the desk, 3 minutes after check-out to ask to validate it. And, they asked for my room number- I just checked out and nobody in between me and me... And they ask? Not well trained? No interest? No idea. The pool is dangerous, slippery, missing tiles, dirt, sharp edges. They should close it and repair it the soonest. View from there is nice though. At the terrace around the pool, a lot of dirty dishes, glasses, for at least 15 minutes- several staff members walked by, nobody interested in taking the dishes, throwing the dirt to make the place look a bit more welcoming. Many management related issues, and therefore my bad rating about the service and amenities/equipment- dripping aircon in the hallway, water on tiles- dangerous. I watched the video about the vision of the owner, the architect and so on. Unfortunately after only a few years, nothing of this shows besides the nice architecture. Sayang.

Basic breakfast more pro to local dishes. Good location but toiletries need to request if you stay longer day.
