Celebrating my 25th Birthday with mi hubby @ Orange Nest Hotel

Having an 8month old baby tummy didn't stop me from celebrating my 25th birthday. Originally, I bought a voucher worth 949 instead of 1900 for 2 persons with free breakfast in a suite at Orange Nest Hotel from Metro Deal for my baby shower. But since I realized we wouldn't fit in one hotel room, I just bought a 1br suite from the office for the event. Take note, Orange Nest Hotel Suite only fits a maximum of 5 persons.

And so I decided to use it for my 25th birthday bonding with hubby. The room is ok. It doesn't look like a suite for me, its actually more of a standard to deluxe room (didn't reach my expectations).

The Facade

Orange Nest Hotel is located at Malate Manila. The place is suited at a residential area and is near many 'carinderias'. It has its well known coffee shop which is Kape Pilato that offers different mixes of coffees and yummy cakes.

The hotel doesn't have a decent lobby like the other hotels. The staffs didn't welcome us with a warm smile and we even had a hard time requesting for a ref inside our room which is supposed to be automatically there.

Anyway, upon entering our room, I felt really disappointed. The room didn't look like a suite...at all! It's small. A double sized bed, cabinet, 24 inch (or smaller) LCD TV, will welcome you.

Due to budget constraint, we packed some food we can have for our dinner and brought foods from the house.

Fritz ordered me a slice of chocolate cake...

Another thing which broke my heart is the breakfast!! eerrr!! I regret paying the room service fee! My pancake menu was ok, hubby's Filipino breakfast is good, but my gawd! The coffee wasn't even hot and my ICED tea was merely a tea minus the ice. It took us more than an hour for our breakfast to be delivered in the room.

A pancake, slices of apple and pear, hotdogs and my iced tea.

All in all review?
*The place wasn't really astounding
*The receptionist wasn't friendly
*The staffs who delivered our breakfasts were nice
*HOT coffee should be HOT and ICED tea should have ICE
*Room service is always late!

Im glad we had a great bonding time amidst all the 'kapalpakan'
