8/10 Very good

A Good Hotel with Great Potential
I just got back from a several week stay at the Heiss Hotel and have lots of thoughts that should help someone considering booking here. Overall a very good property with a few areas they could improve on.
Pros
- location is on a safe, quiet tree-line block in Manila. Close to everything, yet hotel is quiet. Excellent location.
- LGBTQIA+ friendly
- Junior suite has two balconies and beautiful views
- 1 guest allowed per day
- Great price for its location
Cons
- WiFi is weak so hotel is bad for business travelers. My Zoom calls were dropped often.
- Rooftop pool and gym were closed but no indication of that on the website. A bit of a bait and switch. Once this opens, hotel will be much better.
- Restaurant is slow, expensive, and breakfast is terrible. Cold and tasteless eggs were served. A very limited menu when included in the room.
- Refrigerator in the kitchen is not cold enough.
- Front desk team could smile more. They felt more like security guards than receptionists.
- Standard rooms are tiny.
- No TV in the bedroom of the Junior Suite. Only TV is in the sitting room with an uncomfortable sofa.
