Rizal Park Hotel

Service staff are nice especially the front desk but the housekeeping team can be improved in terms of the quality of cleaning that they provide for daily room cleaning service. It is not very much at par with other 4-star hotels in the country.

Stayed at Rizal Park Hotel and it honestly felt like stepping into another era—very Somewhere in Time kind of vibe. The building itself has a lot of character, which makes sense since it used to be the old Army Navy Club (built in 1911), and you can feel that old-world charm throughout the property. Location is a major advantage—right beside Rizal Park, near the US Embassy, and overlooking Manila Bay. Great for staycations, especially if you want that sunset view. Convenience stores are about a 5-minute walk away, and food delivery is easily accessible. We booked a junior suite and it was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was notably fresh-smelling, which stood out. Bed was comfortable, aircon was cold, and Wi-Fi was fast. The pool area was a highlight—relaxing with a great view of the bay, especially at sunset. The hotel also has a gym and sauna; we were able to use the sauna, which was a nice addition to the overall experience. Most of the staff were friendly, often greeting us with smiles and good mornings/evenings, which made the stay more pleasant. Special mention to Ma'am Jenna from the amenities building—very friendly and accommodating. There were a few instances where some staff didn't greet, but overall service was still warm and welcoming. That said, the building does show its age in some areas. There were occasional noises at night (likely ongoing maintenance or renovations), and some facilities feel dated—TV could definitely be upgraded to a smart TV. We also noticed some ceilings and walls with visible cracks and signs of mold, which could use better upkeep. Breakfast buffet was okay—decent, but not a standout. Overall, still good bang for buck. Best suited for staycations or travelers who appreciate historic hotels with character rather than modern luxury. Would definitely come back.

comfortable stay, great staff and very attentive to all the questions I would’ve had. Location worked best! Pool was a great touch to the Manila heat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will return again soon! Though we were happy with the value for money, we did wish there were more food options at the buffet and better hot drinks (nicer coffee). The rooms were amazing and a great size, though we observed that the hotel looked tired in places - with some dirty and torn carpets, damaged walls, etc. The pool is situated in a great spot with a lovely view!

I stayed at Rizal Park Hotel for 2 nights during Holy Week. Overall, I would rate it 3/5. The room was spacious, which I appreciated, but you can already tell that the property is quite old. The bathroom was clean, but not to a high standard. The buffet breakfast needs improvement. On Friday, the main options were sardines and danggit, while the rest of the dishes felt more like lunch meals such as adobo. There were no usual breakfast items like bacon, hotdog, or tocino. On Saturday, there was tapa and tuyo, but again, most of the spread leaned toward lunch dishes like chicken afritada. It did not meet our expectations for a proper breakfast. During checkout, we were informed about a stain on the bedsheet. We disputed this since we did not eat or drink anything in the room. When they showed us the photo, the stain looked old and was located at the far end of the sheet, almost hidden. After a few minutes, they agreed not to charge us. The hotel is okay for a short stay, but I would not choose to stay here again.

We stayed there overnight during our 1st year anniversary. We enjoyed the place, the view, the room the amenities such as the infinity pool, gym and sauna. We also had a full tummy over the buffet breakfast. Overall our stay was nice and we will come back again.

Very relaxing good for over viewing cuz of the balcony near on the sea view.

The hotel looks very grand from the exterior, the check in process was simple and staff very welcoming and helpful, location excellent to visit Rizal Park and surrounding area, some of the rooms are a little dated/tired but for a good nights sleep following a lengthy flight it was a good night stay for the price. We would stay here again 😊

Everything is perfect.
