I stayed at Midal Hotel for two nights and found the experience to be decent but with several areas that need attention. The room itself was spacious and comfortable enough for two people working, and overall it fits the “budget-friendly” category.
However, I was assigned to a room connected to another unit by a locked adjoining door. This raised a privacy concern; not so much for me, but for the guests on the other side. Since I’m often on calls late at night until early morning, the sound easily traveled. If I could hear them, then they could definitely hear me.
The bed was another issue. It’s noticeably worn out, and I woke up with shoulder and hip pain from the uneven surface. The bathroom also needs maintenance; the bathtub was clogged, and I even spotted a small cockroach on the floor. I tend to notice these things quickly, probably because I’ve been hopping across multiple hotels during my month-long stay in the Philippines.
On the positive side, the reception area is pleasant. I wasn’t moved to another room, but since my stay was short, I didn’t push for a transfer. Location-wise, it’s near Mall of Asia, but not exactly along the main route. Expect a short walk to the main road to catch public transport, or simply use Grab for convenience.
Overall, Midal Hotel works if you’re on a budget and need a spacious room, but I hope they can improve their room maintenance and reconsider assigning guests to adjoining rooms unless requested.
