General Santos Apartments

Amazing treatment from the staff I would love to stay their again

The lights were too dim. Not ideal since we have child. The floor in the bathroom were too slippery not good for children when taking a bath. No floor mats to dry our feet after shower. And no other amenities too boring.

Stayed 4 nights on level 4. Only positives - halfway noise minimal due to us being near the carpeted area and the aircon was quiet as it was a split system. Negatives - Asked for the room to be cleaned once in 4 nights. 10 x 1 litre water bottles not thrown out plus wine bottle. Toilet paper not refreshed. Toiletries not replaced. Dirty cups and glasses not replaced. Breakfast - You get meal plans to choose from for breakfast. From memory 5 or 6 options. All bar one are Filipino foods eg Bangus (dried fish). Only western option is pancakes. Ask for it and get told no pancakes because of pandemic (April 2022) there's no flour to make them. Get the egg option and get handed bread. Main ingredient = flour. Next day get pancakes offered. Wow! Pandemic ended quickly. Picture has 3 pancakes but receive 2. Have to barter for 3rd pancake. I asked for the banana that comes with the pancakes as all I got was 2 lonely pancakes. Told there's a marketing issue (yeah marketing) and management didn't order bananas. The entire island is known for fruit and literally 20m away is a stall selling bananas. No bananas given for 4 days even though asked for every day. No syrup for pancakes and small amount of honey provided is crystallized so eating the pancakes is like crushing dry matter in your mouth and trying to swallow. This carried on for 4 days until checkout at 6am for our 7am bus ride. Tried calling every ten minutes at reception to place our breakfast order so we can get it at opening time of 6am so we aren't late. Every ten minutes called from 5am till 6am. Noone answered till 6am. Then told breakfast doesn't start till 6.30am. Told them we planned our day from what their menu says at the bottom ”breakfast only served between 6am and 10am”. We also tried organising at reception night before prior to 7pm and noone at reception. We then went downstairs and only asked for 2 coffees. Not even full breakfasts. Was told breakfast doesn't start till 6.30am. Couldn't even get our coffee to start the day. Lastly asked for taxi to get us to the bus terminal. We had 20 minutes to get there. Told it well be organised by reception. Wait 15 minutes and asked how long till they arrive. Then told they couldn't get a taxi. So we wasted 15 minutes. Now left with 5 minutes to spare my filipina fiance walks the main street searching for a taxi that doesn't exist. Meanwhile the 2 porters/ security/ cleaners point her way, talk in tagalog and laugh. A tricycle driver stalked her back to the hotel. She asks him how much and he proceeds to rip her off in front of the 2 employees. They never once insisted to the driver to reduce his prices or even offer to organise a tricycle for us. We took a few minutes to barter him down. So for what is meant to be one of the more expensive stays in the area, believe me you aren't getting what you pay for.

I took a suite for a few nights (P3600/night) and, while calling it a suite is definitely a stretch, it does have a kitchenette and a separate day bed and window seat as well as the main bed. And despite the room being near the lobby, it was quiet at night. The room (in fact the whole hotel) is a bit dated - oak veneer and cream paint everywhere - and there are quirks (ceiling fan with no wall switch, kitchenette worktop light that won't switch off unless you reach in and unplug it). On the plus side, the bed is comfy and the A/C is quiet. There's a table and chairs as well as a desk, and plenty of storage including a laptop safe. The bathroom is small but has everything you need. The wifi, which is normally terrible in Gensan hotels, is actually good (60mbps, not many dropouts). Way better than the Greenleaf, Avior, East Asia and Grand Summit. The buffet breakfast is fine, though sometimes there's irritating background music in the breakfast room. Overall the Microtel is still a decent budget option and staff are courteous and helpful.

Wenn Sie einen Platz nur für die Nacht wollen - RSG Mikrohotel wird tun. Es ist sehr erschwinglich und das Zimmer ist ausreichend. Kein Luxus hier. Einige Parkplätze für Privatfahrzeuge und Schalterwagen. Große Busse können hier nicht parken. Kann online reserviert werden. Ich wurde nicht gefragt, was ich für das Frühstück wollte - etwas, das ich ziemlich seltsam fand. Ich glaube jedoch, ich hätte es angegeben, was ich für das Frühstück wollte. Aber wissen Sie nicht, ob es zusätzliche Gebühren für das Frühstück geben würde. Das Hotel würde besser, wenn sie die Straße, die zum Hotel führt, verbessern und einen deutlicheren Zeichen entlang der Straße setzen, um die Besucher zu informieren, wo sie eingehen sollen.

Die Lage ist etwas weit von den Malls und dem ”Zentrum” entfernt. Das Zimmer war geräumig und sauber, aber etwas dunkel. Mit einem Desk, einem Stuhl und einem Kleiderschrank ausgestattet. Essen war absteigend. Ich liebe die Buffalo Flügel. Die Lichter im Schlafzimmer waren minimal und dunkel. Kein Kühlschrank. Es gab eine warme und kalte Dusche, aber jedes Mal, wenn Sie auf das Wasser wechselten, würde es zunächst eine Fülle schmeckendes klares Wasser geben. Service war sehr gut.

Der Aufenthalt war gut, außer dass der Raum wirklich Mikro war, und erwartete nicht, dass das so klein sein würde. Der Aircon muss beheben, da es zu laut scheint. Es ist ein Wirtschafthotel und gut für einen kurzen Aufenthalt. Die Preise sind gut und genau wie erwartet. Gibt es keine Kreditkartenzahlung? Der Ort scheint günstig für die nahe gelegene gewerbliche Fläche
