Nice Hotel Shaw Boulevard, Pasig Review

If you're looking for a affordable hotel that offers a 12-hour rate where you can check-in any time of the day, Nice Hotel is a good option. This Nice Hotel branch at Shaw Boulevard, Pasig can be easily seen if you traverse the Shaw Boulevard route going to Oranbo Pasig area. It is a jeepney ride away (Pasig signboard) from Crossing, Mandaluyong.

What I like about this hotel is that, although the Standard Room is quite small, the rooms are clean. The mattress is firm, the sheets and towels are fresh and not worn-out unlike in some budget hotels.

The Standard Room does not have a double door and the room can give you a claustrophobic feeling since, as I've said earlier, these are quite small. It's the cleanliness of the place despite the budget price, that sets it apart from its neighbors in the area.  When I say "clean" it means that no musty smell will greet you when you enter the room.

The 12-hour rate for this Standard Room is at 545 Php. If you choose to order breakfast ahead, they will upgrade your room to Deluxe. It is a bit bigger and it has a small window and a double door. Room with breakfast is 745 Php.

What you get for this package:

toilet paper  

1 thin soap bar

NOTE: no free water (you have to order at 25 Php. per 100 ml. bottle, better yet, bring your own water)

There is only 1 stool for dining in case you wish to order food. If you have a partner with you, he or she may have to use the bed or stand while eating.

Their air-conditioning units are still new and function well. The TV is flat screen with good cable reception. Wi-fi is available. The password is at the back of the TV remote control.

Hot and cold shower are available. Sometimes, you still have to ask them to turn the hot water on, so be sure to request this upon checking in to avoid the unnecessary inconvenience.

 This room has a broken lock in the bathroom. The flimsy door material quality seems to be a common problem with Nice Hotel rooms. If it matters to you, check this bathroom door before getting cozy and request for a room change.

Nice Hotel has a selection of affordable meals.
