A comfortable, cozy home away from home
The friendly, polite staff; the comfortable, clean rooms; the free breakfast
9
I'm from Manila but currently living overseas. When I went home to Manila for an academic conference, I spent a few nights at Soleste because my home in Manila was far from the conference venue. I'm glad that I did so, because I had a comfortable stay at Soleste! I'd go home from the conference feeling tired, so it was great that I had a good night's sleep at Soleste's cozy, quiet rooms. I also enjoyed the free breakfast.
Most of all, I appreciated the hospitality of Soleste's staff. They were very friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist me and answer my questions. I also liked Soleste's convenient location: it's safe, there are several restaurants nearby, and it's not too far from Eastwood, Ateneo, and Cubao. I'm grateful to Soleste for being my home away from home for a few days of my Manila visit, and I hope to stay at Soleste again next time!

Quaint little hotel in Quezon City
Food/Dining was great!, Staff service was excellent, Decent internet access
8.7
It was a good experience. The hotel's staff members should be complimented... from the front door guard, to the receptionist, to the always-smiling lady housekeeping staff. Food in the cafeteria was great and not too expensive. I especially like the Filipino breakfast -- portions were just right, and the food was tasty. Plus, they can take your breakfast to your room if you feel lazy to go out. My booking was for the single room, and it was tiny affair with no windows, but is okay if you're not claustrophobic. I was moved to a bigger room with windows on the second day, because something went wrong with the electricals in the other room,so that was an unexpected treat. The wifi was strong especially in the cafeteria/lobby. I would suggest, though that they install noise reducing fixtures in their lobby/cafeteria because when people talk a bit loudly, the echo causes me a headache.

Staff bent over backwards
Helpful staff, wifi, treadmill
7
A small hotel that's reasonably well located to get around Quezon and the universities (not metro Manila). My room was a shoebox with no window and a teeny wobbly table, but the wifi connection in the restaurant area and deck was excellent if you need to work. The area feels very safe, breakfast was good, there are some decent restaurants very close on Katipunan. But its really the staff, Chie and team, that make this place feel welcoming and cosy, rather than stuffy and remote. When I needed to top up my sim card the housekeeper came out on the street with me to ask the local shops (lesson: go with Smart over Global - easier to top up) - just be careful to hang the 'make up my room' sign on the door if you do actually want it cleaned.

Affordable and Friendly
Friendly, professional staff; comfortable rooms; nearby, affordable laundry.
8.7
I enjoyed this hotel for more than a week. The staff were friendly and gracious to a person. Some AC problems, but quickly remedied. Some rooms have no windows and need appropriate wall art. The breakfast and menu choices are much too limited. The laundry downstairs was very affordable with very helpful staff. In Katipunan, near where I needed to be. Mostly, the young staff did excellent work. The wifi is sometimes weak but OK. The price was very reasonable. I would stay there again.
