Hotels near Saint John Colleges, Calamba

It's a sad looking hotel from the outside but it grew on me the two days I was there. Good AC, comfortable bed and semi-reliable wifi. The bathroom could have been a little bigger/better but I would stay there again.

We did enjoy our stay. Malinis ang room and the cr. Super love the fact na hindi rinig ang ingay sa labas. ‘yung quietness na achieved namin. A little bit disappointed lang kasi ‘yung tv walang signal for youtube pero it doesn’t make our stay less of amazing. May problem lang kami at first because of bookings pero natulungan naman kami ng staff especially ng customer service ng trip.com. Kudos to you, guys! Ang calm lang ng conversation and ramdam ko na matutulungan talaga ako sa problem ko.

The attitude of the hotel staff is very good. It can make people feel kind and warm. People who are away on business alone can feel the warmth. There is no sense of strangeness. With the swimming pool, they can exercise in free time and increase entertainment.

The staff is polite and attentive to your needs. There is ample parking at the back of the building. That’s about the only good things about it. The wifi is fast and strong if you’re at the lobby and even at the hallways of the second floor, but the wifi gets weak and later disappears inside the room. Using your own mobile data is not helpful because the signal is 3G. The LTE signal is in and out. The standard room is quite basic. No cable or satellite TV service. Only a TV Plus digital TV receiver and a small Hanabishi LCD TV. The bathroom has the usual amenities but no water heater. That’s OK for the hot and humid season, but not in the cooler months. There is a towel, soap and tissue roll. The worst part is that the national highway is in front of the hotel. There is absolutely no soundproofing of any kind. Starting midnight, all sorts of road noise wakes me up several times. The passing of vehicles with modified mufflers of jeepneys, motorcycle and cars that make it noisy and trucks who honk very loudly woke me up many times. Even my colleagues who are in the rooms on the inner part of are awoken by the same noises. This is cause for poor quality rest and sleep. We will never come back here.

Great place to stay when in Calamba. Very new, clean and cozy. Staff is very friendly always offering greetings. Near the freeway for easy access to and from daily excursions. Only about an hour from Manila. 7-11 across the street. Jolibee and other restaurants nearby. Cafe in hotel had really good breakfast. Nice pool but I was unable to use it. Only downfall is the hallways lack soundproof materials so activities in the hallway are amplified. Very quiet at night but mornings can be noisy if you plan to sleep in. Suggest earplugs. I will actually miss this little gem.

It was not the hotel staycation that we expected it to be and for me it was a terrible experience booking my family into this accommodation and having an event in the place. We have been to other budget hotels / accommodations before, but all we have been to were completely organised and clean, and unfortunately this hotel says otherwise. Their function hall may house about 50 to 70 guests comfortably and perhaps more than this number will be too constraint given you have the stage, food counters, sounds & lights, etc to consider too. When we visited the hall, it has a distinctive smell on which we couldn't identify, but it was definitely unlikeable and their carpets were immensely dirty. The lobby was casual yet I would say it's comfortable, but one thing that perplexed me was that they only open the aircon when we arrived and has to ask for it too (not sure if this is the same practice on other hotels), but I was just surprised that this is not one of hotel standards. We have booked three Superior rooms and our family were overly excited for the staycation as we came all the way from Bulacan and it was the very first time that we will be together in a hotel stay. Regrettably, the rooms were utterly smelly (amoy kulob), and the toilets were significantly dirty. There were numerous water stains and my mother found an empty shampoo sachet on which indicated that the toilet were not properly cleaned. Bath tubs were unhygienic too and the sink sadly were clogged. My mother was very particular with the cleanliness of the place as she herself has used to work in Housekeeping department so it dismayed her when she saw that the rooms and the toilets were not sanitized well. It was not being too fussy or inconsiderate, but we had two children (1 is a baby) and senior citizens with us so good sanitation of the place was truly vital for us.. The staff were not in uniform, so they cannot be distinguished with the other guests too, not unless they were in the front desk area. Nevertheless, I have to commend the staff as they were polite and helpful, especially the gentleman who helped me out to print my documents needed for the event. This review is not to tarnish the name of the hotel, but for them to improve the service and accommodations (amenities & facilities) and to alert the management to strive more to establish certain standards in the hotel to attract potential guests and should not be complacent so that they can give the best hospitality they can. I really hope that they can work things out and push more to achieve excellent results and good reviews.
