I stayed here twice, each time for one night. I chose this hotel because the reviews said it was quiet, clean and close to the airport. I found all this true. The attached cafe served very good food, the best that I experienced in my week in the Philippines. although a hot breakfast wasn't available for me at 5 am,... More

First of all, thank you very much for your glowing review. A few items you mentioned are noteworthy— Yes, we do make a quiet sleep for guests a priority. Sleep quality is after all, the most important thing in a hotel room. Thank you for noticing the numerous facility provisions for this. Yes, our coffee shop does not begin serving... More

We arrived into Manila just after midnight. We wanted something close to the airport as we were flying out to Cebu that morning so we chose one of the cheapest airport hotels on Expedia. I even put our arrival details in the booking. Before leaving Australia, I emailed the hotel to reconfirm our booking and confirmed we needed a late... More

If you leave a light on in the bathroom, the cockroaches will stay in hiding. Now these aren't the thumb-sized variety, but they do share the same family tree and there are lots of them. And if you're unfortunate enough to end up here (we chose it because of its proximity to the airport) do yourself a favour and eat... More

Well thats a first time complaint about that and we will definitely look into it. By the way, we are installing glass sliding doors on ALL existing room doors in order to block out noise coming from inconsiderate guests talking loudly in halls on the way to their rooms. The disturbance was complained about in another review and am letting... More

The hotel is situated at very close to shopping malls. Food is everywhere which is nearby hotel. The only downfall of this hostel is that the room and bed is quite small. I felt a bit uncomfy during my sleep and the toilet might not be suitable to a big built. The restaurant serves good food, very nice and friendly... More

Dear Reviewer- Thanks for recommending others to check in at our inn! May I ask What room did you stay in that you said was not too quiet? All our rooms have double glazed glass panes to block out city noise from outside. So did you still hear outside noise? Or was noise coming from hallways from people using the... More

This hotel had everything what I do require from a good budget hotel. It was well mainained, newly built/refurbished with very efficient staff. We felt really safe there, rooms were really tidy, having comfortable beds, small LCD TV with DVD player (which is not an usual standard for this type of accomodation). I have really appreciated especially the tidiness of... More

Thanks for the very objective review. I did some checking with our staff about your credit cards not being able to be read and we cannot seem to recall any incident like this. It only happens when the card is over limit and this was not the case in your review. Anyway, as far as taxis not knowing our address,... More

When we reached the place, we were warmly greeted by the staff and we felt very much welcome because of the very personalized touch that they made for us through the little but well thought-out details like personalizing our place mats and greeting our celebrators through the LCD display. Franchise One is a very welcoming, simply elegant and comfortable place.... More

I find that your insistence on the customer's review as being untrue is definitely not the way to answer a complaint. though you thanked the reviewer for the positive comments, you also indirectly called him a liar. if all management responses were this way, what are the reviewers left to say? trip advisor thrives on the freedom given to the...

Since Trip Advisor indeed an open forum, it is only befitting that all opinions be two sided. As with any personal experience, one’s own impressions are never 100% factual what with the richness of human experience and the infinite number of ways people may see the so-called facts. Each opinion is valid and the public is served by airing both... More

Because of delayed flights, we only got to Franchise One hotel quite late. And could only spend a few hours there before we headed to the airport back again.
