There is no decent cafe or restaurant nearby. The closet has an unpleasant smell. The saving grace is the attentive and gracious staff. The room maid is quite honest. We left a tip in the room during cleaning day (without a note though that it was for them), when we returned to the room, the money was still there! The deluxe twin room, though, is spacious. There are complimentary coffee and water daily. Also, they helped us with our laundry. Sadly, their massage service was not available during our stay.

The staff members are really nice, respectful and easy to talk to. The rooms are clean. They provided bottled water, toilet papers and dental kits daily. I just wish they provided shampoos and conditioners and soaps too. We got the Deluxe Family Room and we really enjoyed the ample space. We had 2 toilets with bidet and 2 showers. There was a microwave oven and fridge and kettle, and daily provision of coffee packets. I think they should add tea for people like me though. TV was just ok. The internet is slow though. The aircon smells like wet dog at first but it was ok after at least 30 mins. There’s a lot of stores and restaurants within walking distance. Transportation is easy. We used Grab a lot (it’s like Uber). But there are tricycles and jeepneys if you don’t mind having some adventures. It was actually great. Yes, we’ll probably use this facility again. It has good location and safe. Not perfect but comfortable enough.

This hotel provided us with the perfect stay. The staff are excellent; very professional and attentive. After the first night here I extended my stay for another 12 nights. I stayed in 3 other hotels in Manila before finding Studio 89; this hotel is the only one that did not have any hint of a musty odour. If you are sensitive to odour, this hotel is an excellent choice. It's also close to the University of the Philippines and to the UP Town Centre with many quality restaurants (especially Japanese foods).

Needed a quiet clean place to catch up on sleep after missing a bus that is only scheduled a couple of times a day. Instead of waiting at the bus depot breathing in fumes while waiting for the next one we checked in at Studio 89. It was very late at night and with only short notice the receptionist had us quickly checked in. Someone carried our bags for us and we got a peaceful sleep before checking out just as smoothly at 3:30am. Overall we thought an excellent experience at an inexpensive hotel. No frills but clean, quiet, with friendly efficient staff.

What is good: Very clean and comfortable rooms. Aircon available. Decent WiFi. The room has a kitchenette with a kettle and a refrigerator. Very courteous staff and good room service. What could be better: It would be excellent to have a microwave oven and an Iron box. This is not a B&B option.

Clean, basic hotel, good for a few days
Staff were nice. Beds were comfy. Plenty of restaurants in the area. 5min walk to Katipunan LRT Station. Good value for price. However, if TV is inportant, look elsewhere. Other than a few local channels, there was only Nat Geo and it's rerunning the same show episodes every 4 hours daily.

When taking a shower, the water spills out of the glass door. Also, the faucet of the lavatory is oddly placed causing spill on the top and hand washing is a little of a challenge.

Really good place for the Katipunan area
Bed was good. I would have wanted comforters rather than thin bed sheets. Standard double bedroom is same price as a deluxe twin with 2 double beds so might get the deluxe twin next time. Hotel has 12 free parking spaces at the back. A big plus for me. Close to the busy Pop Up mall which gets busy on a Friday night. A really good place to stay in the Katipunan area.
