I stayed at the Dusit Nikko Hotel...
I stayed at the Dusit Nikko Hotel during my last visit to the Philippines on June 8 to 10, 2005. This was the third time that I was staying in this hotel. The hotel had an excellent location. The next building was Shoemart, a very popular shopping paradise in the Philippines. There were plenty of restaurants nearby. Security was great as bomb-sniffing dogs and security personnel were in the front and side doors all the time. As usual, the people at the Reception and Security were very welcoming and friendly. When I checked in at the hotel, the non-smoking room I requested was not ready and so I settled at a smoking room in the fourth floor. It was very evident that the room was newly refurbished and the bathroom although cramped, was in good condition. However, the room was indeed a SMOKING room and I had difficulty breathing and I srtarted having an asthma attack due to the very strong smoke odor. I requested after two hours that I be transferred and was given a room in the ninth floor. The people in the Reception had no problem with it and I easily got my request. The bathroom obviously needed a lot of refurbishing. The buffet breakfast was very good and was open up to 10AM. The late check-out fee up to 6pm cost 50% of their room rate and check-out fee after 6pm meant paying the whole amount of the room rate. I guess the hotel needs to re-think these rates as they could be very expensive especially if one has to check out two or three hours after the check-out time. Special rate has to be given to frequent hotel guests, I suppose. Anyway, I will definitely go back to this hotel and would also recommend this hotel to everyone.
