Condo Studio Luxe at Princeton Residences Reviews

We stayed at this place and had a very pleasant time. Good points for me are as follows: Clean and secured place; Nice pool and located strategically to most go to places in manila. Bad points: Parking is really the problem if you have a car. I had to park at the nearby save more but would only be good until save more closes. Another option is the nearby Jolibee but you have to pay the guards so they would allow you to park. Other than that, it ok for us, the pool more than made up for it.

The reason we will never come back until they have a thorough cleaning of the whole building we had to change rooms 3 times we still found a lot of insects from ants to cockroaches even inside my pillows cases as soon you turn on the light in the bathroom you see them also why do you old cheap covers come on it’s a beautiful place that need a lot of help to maintain the standard of the place. I mean the staff were very helpful but the person who own the place do not care at all so for me I will nerve come and stay so if you the owner want repeat customers hired a pest control company

🤔 1.7k + its affordable, its just that other amenities were not included (pool : regular days:150/pax, holidays 300/pax) + located right exactly at gilmore lrt station. + not sure about cleanliness coz i saw insects at cabinets + BUT , if you wont mind there's

We had a very pleasant stay. This is a walking distance from a nearby mall and train station. All is almost perfect except that the Hisense TV is small and has very limited channel options. The bed was a bit squeaky. The left side of the electric stove is not working, though the good news is that, the right side switch is working so it is possible to do some light cooking. The host was kind and accommodating although she didn't reply to my SMS promptly, so I took the liberty to call her so she can send her assistant in while we wait in the lounge. (They didn't give me back the 45-peso change though, but this is no big deal). The pros is that, this is a good value for your money (you get what you pay for) and the location is excellent . So, we will still probably come back to this place in the future.

1.location is good. u can easily go any where by LRT line 2 just besides of this condo 2. facility : micro oven range is out of order. manager accepted my request to replace but there was no replace during 10 days stay at unit 820 shower head height adjuster is out of order too. i paid breakfast but no breakfast service bcoz employee resigned recently. manager told me to refund but manager did not refund me until i check out. i will wait for Agoda's proper action on this matter.

Since we just stayed overnight, I can only give insights about the day we stayed there. It was quiet, peaceful and the security is good. We are allowed to cook too so it's really a plus for me. The wifi signal is very strong too. The only con (though very minor and can really be improved) is when we ordered the breakfast, we told the host to have it delivered by 8am but we haven't received it until 8:30AM and we have to text her since our sched is quite tight at that time. However, the host and her other staff are nice and very respectful. Thumbs up for this place.

Being next to Gilmore station with the elevators now working was a real plus for me. My work is in Cubao and Tanay, Rizal. Pick up and dropping off at the airport is efficient and worth while in busy times. Not far from Robinsons Magnolia Mall. Relatively easy to get taxis when needed.

Very clean apartment. No blankets. Shower had rain head not working and handheld bracket would not stay up. Fry pan handle broken off. Pool very nice but cost 150 PHP per day. Four elevators serving 44 floors with 30 apt each is ridiculously slow. But big problem was air con. Old, noisy beyond belief, filthy unremoveable filter caked with matted dust and mildew. Won't rent again

I would definitely stay again if I need to be near the gilmore shops again. I only rate 3 stars for facilities as I have not used any besides the room I stayed in.

I usually booked hotel in Manila every month. It was my first time to stay in Condo apartment. Staffs are kind and nice. Price is reasonable and you will like this place. Location, if you have things to do in Quezon or Cubao, it's alight~. and I just booked this condo again.

Easily found and known by taxi drivers as it is on Aurora Boulevard next to Gilmore train station. However it can take more than 2 hours to get to and from the airport depending on the traffic. The location was ideal for where I wanted to be and I will stay there again. Staff dealt with minor problems efficiently.

staff helpful and the place is clean and functional. pool is good but cold (doesn't get any sun). convenient next to gillmore ltr. not near any major attractions but i would definitely stay there again if i wanted to stay in that area.

Ms.Marielle and Harley have been very good in taking care of our needs during our stay.Thank you Marielle and Harley.The place is highly recommended for those who wants easy access to almost every basic need when one is travelling for business or just a cosy time at home.

First of all, this is a condo, meaning you do everything yourself. That is not a bad thing, but people need to be aware of this. The kitchenette is well furnished and has enough for cooking needs. The condo is located right next to Gilmore LRT which makes public transportation quite easy. It is located a few minutes walk from Robinson's Magnolia which gives you access to a supermarket and plenty of restaurants. However, if you are not interested in walking that much, there is a 7 Eleven right in the same building. There are not that much entertainment nearby if you are into that sort of things. The cond feels a bit smaller than the numbers say, but it is perfectly functionnal. The pool is nice and it is nice that they have a kid's pool. On the last floor you can get a very nice of Manila.

Good except it's far from attraction places. There is LRT Gilmore station next to hotel but bees interchange if want to go to other places. Ok for youngster but not convenience if with elderly & children

Staying at the Princeton Residence was a great experience. The room was VERY clean and had all the amenities needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The AC worked great and there was plenty of hot water. The bed was very comfortable. The Princeton is located right next to the Gilmore LRT train station and allowed easy access to the surrounding area. Down the street was the Robinson's mall which had a plethora of restaurants and great shopping. Mariel was a great host. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend the Princeton Residence to anyone. Thumbs up.

I had a very comfortable stay in the studio apartment. It was clean and spacious and the location was was so very good as it's just next to the lrt station. It also has a great view. Surely will come back if I head down to Manila again.

so far none..

This is place you want to stay at more than a few days. It has everything you need to live there. It'll save you money cooking your own food being that is has a kitchen with two electric stove top with bare minimum pots and pans provided. If you need more you can buy them yourself but it can get the job done with what is there. Refrigerator to store perishables. The bathroom is nice and to top it off the couch was pretty comfortable. I almost fell alseep on it before I could get to the bed. Staff is very polite. 711 and BDO right outside very convenient.

Our expectations is far from reality. We thought unit can accommodate the 4 of us but they gave us two units that good for two pax instead.

Good location, cleaned and nice room

Good location, cleaned and nice room.

Place is nice and neat. I wish the price is a bit lower because we have to pay for the pool access. But its good!

Wifi is good. Near Robinson’s Magnolia for shopping, dining, and movies. Also a stone’s throw away from the train station.

The room is OK except that the airconditioner is out of order, it has lost self-regulation that no matter what temperature you set, it always runs all the way to the coolest it can.

I liked that it was a smooth check in and check out. The rooms are clean and the bed was soft. We rented 2 units for 2nights. The microwave in our unit was not working. It would be better if there were 4 pillows. Eveything else was perfect.

We stayed there for a night on new years eve.Everything is great.I booked the place for 2 but actually we are 3 who stayed there and the owner did not asked for extra guest fee.The room is great it's just that there is a fee for using the pool for non residence. 100/pax

Pros : Ms. Mariel is kind and so with her staff Ms. Cyril. The facilities were still in good condition. Near LRT Cons: There were cockroaches in the area. There were scarcity of toiletries (insufficient soap) The electrical outlets were damaged. But overall it was a nice experience

Ms. Mariel was very accommodating and quick to respond to our queries. She even allowed us to extend our stay for a few hours. :) It would've been even nicer though if the caretaker she sent for our check-out was more patient and did not stay in the room and watched as we packed our stuff. Still, we had a very pleasant overnight stay here. Will definitely come back! :)

booked for 2 nights, upon checking in figured wifi in the room was not working. called the staff, and they said they will follow up with the telco waited patiently but have to leave the room. came back around 10pm still no wifi, called them up again and they asked me to reset the wifi router and wait a little while - still didn't work. so i decided to just text the staff since its already late and didn't want to cause any inconvenience to them. staff replied early morning offering to change our room, i replied that we will do that but later since we're still sleeping. she still came into our room and i have to repeat myself. so when we get ready and transferred to the room, it was a bit of disappointment since the appliances in the first room is better, but the wifi is now working on this second room. though the staff is apologetic about the incident, can't say it's a good stay.

Blanket is too thin. It would be nice if they could have provided the unit with a complimentary small sachet of dish washing liquid/paste aside from the complimentary shampoo and soap, after all they do provide kitchenware, I would assume they want us to clean them as well after using them. Despite pest control, some cockroaches were still noticed. The best part is the location, next to LRT, 7/11, MiniStop and Jollibee nearby.

This is my opinion and how I personal feel about my stay. The possibility of me returning is 4 of 5. Go to the front desk and tell them you will be checking in and they will call for someone to bring you the keys. Room: 4 of 5 Medium with private restroom, stove, refrigerator, sink, pans, dishes, utensils, rice cooker, couch, cabinet, bed, fan, and table with chairs. Air-conditioning: 3 of 5 A small unit cools but there is a fan that helps. TV: 5 of 5 Medium and has cable Wifi: 5 of 5 Wifi is fast and reliable but didn’t try to upload any video. Netflix works without interruptions. Bed: 3 of 5 Mattress comfortable, pillows medium, blanket. Restroom: 3 of 5 A medium toilet, small sink, and mirror, water heater attached to hose shower head, small shower room. Staff: 3 of 5 Met her only once and was given number to call but would be charged for anything else needed for room like 100 pesos to clean the room. Cleanliness: 4 of 5 After the first day we cleaned it ourselves. Noise: 5 of 5 No disrupting noises. Other: Able to cook on our own. Elevator is a bother and hot. Down stairs is a mini mart and massage parlor. Next to Gilmore train station and near a Jolliebee. A couple of blocks away is Robinsons Magnolia.

This is a situation where, as best as I can figure, the hotel has rooms rented out in an otherwise private condo building. The facilities were immaculately clean, and the view was quite nice as well. As far as a hotel room goes, it was top-notch. The only thing is that I found the situation a bit strange. There was virtually no check-in or check-out. I was just led to the room, given the key and the wifi password, and left to myself. Perhaps this is just because I booked online, but I found it odd. Then, when I was ready to leave, I just left my key at the guard desk and left. Not really any complaints here, I just found the lack of personal attention (or someone to give it, should I need it) a bit odd. Also, the location in the city is really good, right under the train station. But this is a mixed bag. The entrance was under the overpass where the train passes, which means all the trucks and cars and motorcycles pass right in front, under the overpass. This means that, walking out of the front door, you are bombarded with vehicle fumes. This is a definite negative. Besides that, it was an excellent room. Although I'm not sure how I would have gotten in touch with someone if I had needed assistance.

had a good sleep for our 2 night stay. all went well except for the microwave oven that had short circuit and the cable tv that only have few channels (no hd channels like hbo starmovies starworld,etc.).

The subway station is in few foot steps, that why, you are able to go anywhere easily and safely. Then the swimming pool was awesome, even it wasn't really big, but enough to enjoy time with your partner. And you also cook what you want to eat, but the stove is only one, that's a bit problem but still acceptable. overall, this is the one of the best in Manila.

I did not see cockroaches until the 3rd day. Place is not bad. Staff was friendly. The head person at times hard to get ahold of. The viber number did not work but text and emails did. The hotel does have safe transport to airport and driver is real nice. A taxi is cheaper you can go on grab and book one. You are walking distance to most things you need the food is good but remember where you are.

The owner/staff of d units were very nice and assisting however, the bldg security company should have better training in interacting with guests. They should be more corteous in general n not selective to their perception.

the room is nice and small, good facilities and everything is in good condition. the room is just very small and not much room for the price. place has no smoking facilities anywhere in the building. I lived at the 19th floor and it was always a pain to go downstairs. the hotel staff is not really friendly and not helpful at all. have definitely language problems with English. my parents arrived a bit later and I have told them that and they were checked and not letting go through the hotel first. abit ridiculous. nothing around to go and its a very dogy area. Manila is not a place for tourists. I have seen a coffin and the people where looking at me what I would do there. also you cant go out at night time. Manila is a dangerous place. I had no issues but you need to be careful. loads of poor people on the main road asking you for money. be careful. I would not give them anything because they are trying to find the place where you have the money. traffic is horrible in Manila. I suggest you take a cab way earlier then you have to leave! if you're unlucky you'll get nowhere in Manila. I would suggest to avoid the city!

The owner and staff were accommodating, all my needs were addressed promptly. It would be nice if they could have provided the unit with a complimentary small sachet of dish washing liquid/paste aside from the complimentary shampoo and soap.

When we first arrived we had to wait a while to go to our room as we were there before 2pm and had to wait downstairs with our bags as they had no where safe to keep them. The whole place is nice and clean and the people staying there seemed to be mainly locals that lived there so its nice if you dont want to be surrounded by tourists but maybe bad for meeting other people travelling. The pool area is really nice and because its up on the 7th floor you can go out there out there even in the evening and there seemed to be no mosquitoes as its high up and fairly windy. The one annoying thing is being on the 10th floor we found that most the time the lifts were full of people and you had too wait ages for another lift which might also be too full to get on as the lifts would go up to the top and by the time it comes back to a lower floor to take you to the ground floor there was a high chance that it had filled full of people trying to go down to the ground pool or the pool area. One time when a lift was broken and there were only 3 working I waited at least 10 minutes trying to get down 2 floors to the pool and ended up just giving up and going back to my room.

The unit is excellent, very clean, good design, complete facilities and everything is very convenient. When we asked for iron it was delivered on time. Mariel is very nice and accomodating. I just hate the reception and administration staffs, they were very rude and they don't offer good quality of service. In the reception area, the receptionist don't have friendly attitude. Also, when we're paying for pool they have this unwelcoming attitude). The door staff was very helpful in getting us a taxi. But overall the room is excellent ;)

Amazing! Miss Mariel and her assistant are jewels. The room was well appointed, clean, and has great views. Pool was cold and clean, just right. Nearby Robinsons Mall has excellent restaurants and food court and a supermarket. I highly recommend staying here.

The studio was really clean and perfect for our needs. The location is good, because it's next to a railway station (Gilmore st.). It's also 2 blocks away from a shoppping mall, where you can find lots of food. Traffic in Manila is terrible so we used the railway several times. When we checked out, we could leave our luggage there during the day, because we had to take the nightbus at 10pm.

This was my second stay at the residences. I was earlier billeted to a room with a faulty main switch, but was immediately transferred to another. They were really ensuring convenience with my stay, which i realky had.

The rooms are perfect, the host Ms. Mariel is very very kind and accommodating, the location is very convenient, the rooms are very clean, the view at any side of the building is great, and the rate is very affordable. Have stayed here for several times already and will definitely be our number 1 choice every time. 👌🏼

Please be aware that if you book this place on booking.com, there will be no credit card accepted. Better book on Agoda, as we did. Be also aware that the check-in time given is an appointment. Check-in and check-out are by appointment. This is a condo rental, no reception-type check-in. If you consider all that, this is a great place to stay.

Considering that everything shuts down in Manila over Easter this was an excellent place in which to stay. Private and conveniently located by Gilmore Station with plenty of local transport available. Nice lobby for meeting people. Laundry system took a bit of fathoming by the system worked well. No good restaurants close by but there is Jollibees open all hours and good 7-Elevens. The apartment is small but comfortable, clean and well equipped. I will stay again.

It was very relaxing. I love the amenities and the complete set for kitchen. Location like wise was kind of downfall for me. It was kind of scary and noisy once stepping out of the lobby door and no parking space for our vehicle. The staff as well as was very accomadating. I would like to recommend this condo to my colleagues.

The condo is ok, it's the typical studio room. But I had the worst host EVER! She said she thought we don't have a car, so she assumed not to mention that parking should be pre-reserved. It's her responsibility to tell the customer since she knows that parking is paid. I booked 2 rooms, but only 1 of them had a microwave, water heater, and trash bin. "Baka nailipat sa kabilang unit" that's what she said. Seriously?! They prepped the room but they did not check that the kitchen's missing some appliances. Condo is good, just try to find a different host if you want to enjoy your stay.

Great place!

you can cook but using the pool will cost 150 pesos per head it should be free

How I wish I could give all the stars in the heavens which it deserves. 😊

second time already, staffs are good and well communication with owner.

Value for money and location is great. Facilities, awesome!

Very handy and accessible to everything. Very nice entertaining lounge and studio type room.

Agree with good reviews.

Everything was perfect except that the bed was not comfortable and the blanket was thin. I like sleeping in the sofa though. Overall, it was a great stay and I had fun. Thank you!!

nice clean in good eara

room is clean but with small cockroaches roaming around

I will stay again , nice experience.

Very comfortable stay. was an absolute pleasure to deal with and was very accommodating. Highly recommended

Safe, new and clean self-contained condominium Or high class apartment. Privately owned but well taken care of.

Well the place is really good however maybe it would be also better if they will lower the fee since we also have to pay for the pool access.

the place was very clean, and the staff was very accommodating!

Should give new towel everyday, change bedings at least every 2 days, everyday free cleaning since costumer pay per day. Very uncomfortable bed ang sofa bed. We pay extra bed but only give us very uncomfortable sofa bed.

Had a bit of a rough stay here. Though the place is around 6 miles from the airport-it took an hour taxi to get there and upon arrival the front desk was not very helpful. Felt we were given an attitude and brushed off right away. They had us sit and wait for an hour only to go back up to the desk and find they hadn't even begun to check us in. Asked them to hold our bags so we could grab lunch while they figured it out and they refused. In general felt we were given the run around a bit. But the place was nice, had the basics, great view, perfect for what we needed.

Pros: Near LRT. Rob Mag. Savemore. 24hrs convenient store. Cons: Expensive parking fee. Additional /hr charge on late check out. "Mariel" wants every penny for all requests ie: parking, late checkout and maybe all requests if we tried another. TV keeps falling down. Bed is noisy. No free bottled water upon checkin. Rice cooker is faulty. We booked here before - Jenny was wayyy much much better host/owner.

The worst place anyone can recommend. Rooms full of Cocoroaches, TV is a small computer monitor -no english channels, no movie channels, breakfast for locals ok, Swimming pool full of people swimming in the their clothes incl. underwear-totally unhygienic, outside the condo not only smelly - its stinking, trucks and Buses horn regularly under the bridge just at the entrance. For the same price you get a nice hotel room in Manila. I would not go for free any more. The computer does not allow me to give a star and so be it-No Stars!

The studio was ok. It will probably be fine for 1 or 2 people. We were 3 and it was too small for us. It had the basic amenities but we felt it could have been cleaner - we found small cockroaches which is of course not unusual in the Philippines. The location is great as it is next door to an LRT stop. There is also a mall nearby but there aren't a lot of places to eat in around in the evening. Communication was not so smooth with the host. Although the host and her staff were very nice, we had some issues which could have been avoided easily. We emailed to ask if we could check-in early, but did not get a response so ended up waiting a while. We told them we were 3 and still they only set up a bed so we had to ask for an extra set of linens. The staff of the building were mostly very nice, one guard was not very welcoming nor helpful. The building itself is clean and modern. There's a pool but each person needs to pay PHP100 to access it.
