Rainbow Pacific Suites Hotel

Rainbow Pacific Suites Hotel

Rainbow Pacific Suites Hotel, a very gay friendly establishment, is a great find, listed in Utopia-Asia which I didn't realize at the time. I was walking around the Malate area on Adriatico Street looking up accommodations for a low cost and minimally acceptable room. I asked their rate and asked to see one of their rooms. This place has a nice western style relatively spacious standard room with hardwood floor, air-conditioning, private shower, mini fridge, TV, phone, karaoke bar on G/F, Korean restaurant on 1/F, Tenamue Restaurant (T. +63.2.536.7240,) on the Mezzanine Floor serves breakfast 6:30am-10am dine in or room service, imported beef dishes, Filipino menu; swimming pool on rooftop, standard room for PHP1250, an excellent value for the foreigner with a favorable exchange rates, a superior room is PHP1750.

The room shown is already reserved, and a room won't be available for another hour. Upon my return, I checked in, paid in advance, they accept credit cards. I went to my room and was disappointed. The room shown earlier has a bright light feeling, this room has no or very little light from the outside, bad first impression of this room, the light switch was loose, detached, and dangling behind the light switch plate, bad second impression of this room. I was not pleased and went back down complaining and wanted a refund. I was offered one other room to see which was also reserved for someone else. It was lighter than the last room but not as bright as the first room shown, however it was acceptable.

There are no lamps by the bed nor tables, only the wall mounted lights, the bathroom faucet was not securely mounted and moved loosely when operating the valve flow controls of the faucet, only the left side has water flowing, the right side control had no water. No shampoo was provided, only a small pink soap bar. No trash basket in the bedroom, only a trash basket in the bathroom. The air-conditioner in the room has a cooling thermostat range setting from 19° to 30° Celsius.

Despite its relatively small problems, this was a great find, spacious, hardwood floor, good working air-conditioner, mini fridge, for a great price in Malate, where there are gay venues nearby. It's been open less than a year when I stayed in February 2007, and it's already got issues of maintenance which is common in Asia, where they generally don't bother with maintenance or the maintenance is rather low or poor. Recommend that you inspect the room they will actually book you into before checking in and accepting, checking their light switches, faucets, toilet to be sure it's in working order or that you accept it as is.
