The staff was very helpful, the room was in good condition but the hot water was barley warm, the internet connection was intermittent.
The pool water was too cold to enjoy and barley any Sun because of the surrounding buildings.
The gym was not open (no working machines.) the Spa was closed.
I was very disappointed from my previous stay several years earlier.

The people at the front desk are very nice and helpful. It’s just the management of this property from when I first came here pre-2017 change completely not for the better used to be a great spot now it’s run down that breakfast buffet forget about it. The Wi-Fi Constantly failure and for sure all you’ll get as a corporate response. Sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe we can do better in the future, which you should know that will never happen.

I book the smoke free room but when we check in most rooms we’re booked and the last room available is on the smoke floor. Fortunately there it is not smelly.
Internet is extremely slow , some WiFi doesn’t work either.
The hotel staffs are nice , it’s just the infrastructure of the hotel and the surrounding that’s not good enough

I think for a 4-star rating, this hotel should be nicer. The wifi was very spotty, which was frustrating as I had research and bookings to make for my travels and it was impossible to do so when I was settled in my room for the night. I talked to the staff, and all I heard was “it’s working”, though it was so bogged down it wasn’t working. I had to write a review because wifi is a necessity these days, and someone may want to avoid being frustrated each evening and night, like I was. When I took baths, the water wasn’t hot, lukewarm at best, but when I showered, it seemed ok, though the water sprayed all over and soaked the bathroom - and they were very limited with the towels. The AC in the lobby was weak. The staff was lovely, and the beds/pillows were pretty comfortable however.

The food was good mostly apart from the undercooked raw eggs for breakfast. The staff were mostly pleasant to me, but not my guests. There was building work/scaffolding on the front of the hotel. The bathroom door handle was broken and didn't get fixed after I reported it. They didn't provide enough towels even though I had paid for 4 people to stay and tried to charge me for extra after checking out. The cups were not cleaned each day during room cleaning. The staff were overheard making comments about my family guests who do speak Tagalog too. My step son was challenged several times after parking his scooter in the underground car park.

It takes entirely too long to check in and out. Its dark in the room lightening is not good. The process of checking in and out is as if you are going thru customs into another country. Never have anything prepared, they have list of reservations for the day, they should be prepared for the customers coming in. Its a horrible system checking in!! I will never stay there again, the wife has more patients and will stay if traveling alone but personally i cant wait 30 mins for you to print, sign, print, fold, sign, or whatever takes you so long. I checkin to newcoasts and it takes 5mins and they offer me my upgrade. Armada.. no upgrade and if you ask they look at you like you are crazy. Everytime no sorry sir we dont know. They know I am expedia member and its suppose to be offered if your a gold member but they never do.. Anyway .. Cheap hotel, good rooms I recommend if you dont mind waiting to check in.

I used to go all the time and it was nice and accomodating .. now its a process to check in .. they read you entire page of rules .. dont let u check in early .. everyone lines up at 2pm to check in .. so now u all waiting in line at 2pm to get room .. girls are nice but too rigid on policies .. customer sevice and empathy for guests would go a long way for this hotel ... not the worst place but i dont think i will go back .. even check out is too long process.. i usually stay at new coast but was booked so i decided to go back here because i used to stay her all the time but sadly wont be back... it is cheap and room is not horrible but definitely getting old and rooms are dark ..shower is strong .. bed ok .. looks like a bomb hit the street .. they are either rebuilding or just tearing down .. not sure but maybe next year 2024 it will be all fixed up ..

First of all, I really have to say that the staff at this hotel leaves nothing to be desired. I am really impressed with so much courteous service towards the hotel guest. Nevertheless, I would like to note the following possibilities for improvement in relation to the stay in the hotel:
Written information in the room would be appropriate and helpful for better orientation in connection with opening times, services and, if applicable, possible room service. The same applies to the use of the safe in the room, the batteries of which should also be checked regularly to ensure that they function correctly.
If an elevator is defective and cannot serve a floor, a written notice would be helpful on the one hand, but on the other hand it should be possible for a technician to rectify this error within a few days.
The fitness machines in the gym were only partly usable, especially the fitness machines. Again, an experienced technician should be able to get a device working again within a few hours.
It should be known that the Internet in the Philippines is not exactly part of the infrastructure that one can show off. In the room the bandwidth varied from 1Mbitsec up to 65Mbitsec. On average, about 30 Mbitsec were usable. The update of some apps often took 30 minutes or longer.

We have been staying at the Armada for the past thirteen years and the quality has just continued to go down over the years. The following are some examples: poor cable reception, poor internet reception, no warm water for your shower, reduced staffing, reduced menu options in the restaurant. We even had to request simple basic items such as silverware or towels. Your rates are still low but I am not sure we will be back. We switched hotels and stayed at the City Garden Suites. Yes, we paid more, but what we got in return we feel was worth it.
