Garden Orchid Hotel

Clean room

A lot of mosquitos in the bar area- they opened it for extra seating. Also, when the hotel was busy, they closed the kitchen. So no ordering of food was available. Unfortunately, my son was sick at that time and i was really inconvenient. It was for one and a half day. Although the staff actually allowed me to order chicken and rice cause i explained about my son being sick. The staff was wonderful!

The hotel is clean, good AC and service great. Negatives: pool full on weekends with brunch buffet for families general admission Wifi unusable. It is an acceptable place but being the priciest in Zamboanga expected better.

Room is spacious but basic beddings and towels are old and smells .

Only a one-night stay this time but i have stayed here before. Clean room, staff are helpful and courteous I seem to remember more breakfast choices last time, particularly for foreigner but no complaints, it was still very good

No breakfast and the front wide open. I’m not sure if there’s a security at night

Clean room, good air conditioning

Room is clean, towels are tough & stiff , staff are nice, food is not good

Rooms are falling apart, 1 pillow provided for each guest, no hand towels for the bathroom, you literally have to slam the bathroom door several times to get it to close, shower handle looks like its about come off, The only hotel we ever stayed in with 99% of staff looking miserable, no smile , greeting or acknowledgement not even for hotel guests. Too many hidden charges, the only hotel with visiting hours. Definitiely not worth your money, the worst hotel our family have ever stayed in!

👍👍👍👍👍

Amazing

I love the junior suite and the attention given by housekeeping. Although a bit of a walk and isolated, the clean and spacious room is the reward.

All pool staff were on their cell phones and was not very helpful. They locked both pool access doors in the hotel and forced guests to go through the main lobby which is on the other side of the compound.

The Garden Orchid has steadily declined in quality over the last five years without reducing prices. It is now barely a 1-star hotel at 4-star prices. I was in the old wing, and woke up at night to find my bed infested with ants and my body bitten all over. The toilet was sluggish at best and the pillows were like rocks. I have stayed there frequently in the past, but I will never stay there again.

I have mixed feelings about this property. While it has some positive aspects, there are several drawbacks that made my stay less enjoyable. The hotel feels quite dated, and accessibility is a challenge. To reach my room, I had to walk quite a bit and take stairs. Some of my team members stayed in another section of the hotel without an elevator, forcing them to climb multiple stairs. The in-room amenities were also disappointing. The safe did not work, the internet connection was very weak, and the shower lacked proper water pressure, with lukewarm water and no handle for easy adjustment. That being said, there are some redeeming qualities. The rooms are spacious and offer nice views. Contrary to some reviews I had read, I found that there were plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Most importantly, the hotel staff was genuinely attentive and cared about the guests. Overall, while the hotel has potential, it seems like a large property that was not built with convenience and functionality in mind. With some upgrades and better infrastructure, it could be a much better experience.

Clean and good staff services

Pros: Hotel is the closest to the airport. Easy access to transportation for commute. Lots of nearby restaurants Breakfast food is great! Cons: Room needs some remodeling and AC is only working at the main lobby. The walk going to the room is humid. Room is outdated. Bath-tub is outdated and slippery. My 70-year mother slid and luckily did not have any injury. AC is not cold. Internet is slow. Not worth the overpriced hotel rate for the room condition.

gorgeous

awesome

This hotel is very close to the airport. There are not any restaurants nearby to walk to. There is not a convenient store or grocery store year by. But this is the beat Zamboanga has to offer.
