It was a good place for a large group to stay.
The water supply is very good, amenities as well.
It's far from the city and ideal to have your own vehicle or rent a car to travel from the city back to the apartelle, vice versa or anywhere else in the city.
Areas for improvement:
Receptionists must be ready to welcome the guest because booking was made ahead of time and was informed of the late check in.
We waited quite a long time to attend.
The distance from the city must be updated on the website and travelling time.
The contact number also needs to be updated because the number posted on the website is not the correct number. Not contactable.
Words of appreciation to the management:
We appreciated so much that despite the no refund policy, we still receive a little refund of our entire 4 nights booking.
We only stayed one night because of the far distance from the city.
Overall, the place is still recommended.
I will consider it in the future and include to
Plan the transportation.
Thanks Arkas apartelle management.
We picked this hotel because it is the highest rated hotel in Zamboanga City in TripAdvisor and there were no horrible comments. That’s really not a compliment for the city. The highest rated hotel in Zamboanga is, sadly, average to below average. It was not a bad experience, but it was not impressive. What’s good is that the hotel runs like a real one. People are polite and accommodating, the room we were given was clean, the sheets while not new-looking were clean and clean-smelling. However, it’s dated and it just has to pay attention to things that travellers like my family will see very negatively, like holes and stains on the curtains, stains on the carpet, the need to re-grout the bathroom, etc. Breakfast was average, if not lacking. In my experience, the addition of breakfast longganisa and arroz caldo could up the breakfast experience significantly. If this amazing city wants more tourists from Manila and even other countries, it has to have a hotel that gives an excellent experience. With the kind of good service it gives, this hotel can be an excellent one. Good luck and I hope the hotel takes this review as a positive challenge.
we booked via Agoda for our accommodation for Zamboanga Visit, there was a misrepresentation on the room type, we were looking for a room with three single beds, Agoda, showed this hotel with an affordable price. However, upon arrival, the room for three was in a different price, which was higher compared on the Agoda website. upon discussion with Agoda and the Hotel representative. Marcian Business Hotel accommodated our request to have the room without paying the price difference. The hotel values its commitment to the hotel guests.

A basic place to sleep at night with a double bed and a TV. We booked the cheapest room and got bothing fancy, just a bed, TV, AC, and a Bathroom. The staff are helpful and kind. The bathroom needs an update. There's a hot and cold water dispenser on the floor and you can request for chairs and table altnough it will be too cramped.
for a night stay, the room rate was a steal. both of us had modest breakfast at 700 pesos per head. this hotel offers cable TV, hot & cold shower, fresh linens, dental kits, complimentary bottled water, twin beds and air conditioner. it even has a pair of slippers. but we brought our own. there were no hangers. they provided us with two hangers per our request. and there's only one pillow for each bed. you have to pay extra 20 pesos for each additional pillow. we asked for 4 more pieces. wifi is stable but a little bit slow. this is a nice hotel but kinda far from the center. our room view consisted of tin roofs from the adjacent neighborhood.
We chose this hotel based on the reviews. However, The hotel is very good looking and the room was ok but OMG...The water pressure was barely a dribble, and oh DO NOT DRINK THE WATER is posted on the wall. Be ready to take 10 min to wash and rinse your hands and a shower, hahaha, wait about 5 min for WARM water. And the wifi...again hahaha constantly in and out. Always have to change from hotel Primera to Primera g or TP link or nothing at all. We didn't know that if we wanted our room cleaned, well forget about it. If you don't tell them, sorry the 2 bath towels you get to use over and it's the hotel policy not to provide wash cloths or hand towels and when we asked them to bring us clean towels, they said ok but we need to charge you 100php. You also might want to bring your own trash can as well because the can is equal to a gallon size jug. I guess the ants in the room are something to snack on because there's no vending, no ice machine.
The hotel was nice. I remember staying in the hotel decades ago when I was a child, so it was nostalgic. The hotel is relaxing and nice. The rooms (we stayed in the new building) we clean, nice and modern. The TVs were a bit basic though.
The restaurant has very long wait times but the food was really tasty. Unfortunately we actually saw a massive rat run past us in the restaurant. It weirdly didn't bother us too much though.
I'd still recommend staying at the hotel. It's conveniently close to the city and the airport. The rooms were nice and comfortable.
The hotel is conveniently located along Jaldon Street in Zamboanga City. You can easily go to places like the airport, shopping malls (KCC Mall, SM Mindpro), the barter trade at Canelar, and City Hall. You can actually walk from the hotel to City Hall or perhaps the Gov. Lim Boulevard. The hotel can be very crowded as it is a popular venue for many events including parties and seminars. The rooms are okay considering the pricing. The linen and towels are old so I hope the hotel acquires new linen and towels even for the lower priced rooms. Our rooms didn't have windows so it's difficult to tell whether the weather outside is fine. The TV works but has limited channels. The breakfast buffet is average but sufficient. The staff are helpful but sometimes appear to be overwhelmed as they attend to many people.
This was my second time in Ever O Business Hotel. The first visit was last year, if I am not mistaken. My week-long stay in this facility was great. I was given with a huge room with matrimonial bed. The room as well as the toilet were clean. Even though my room doesn’t have a window, I still managed to have a comfortable stay. We conducted our event at the top floor, where you can also find the restaurant that serves buffet breakfast and everyday meals. The foods that were served to us during our event were great and tasteful. You can taste the goodness of the local viands. Aside from the friendly and accommodating personnel, one thing that makes this facility good is its location. It is located almost in the center of the city. Local shopping stores, groceries, restaurants, parks and churches are just few steps away from this facility. A memorable place, indeed.

Jjsun1The hotel is located in a busy city, shopping and eating is convenient. A bit far from the airport. You can take 70 pesos on a tricycle. I didn't have a peso at the time. The police uncle helped me with the tricycle driver and spent a dollar to the hotel. The front desk service was not bad, and the room given was not listed online. The guard led to the nearby building. There was no window in the room, and it was requested to change the window. It took an hour to get it. The room is very spacious, the health is not bad, the building is very old. The shower is a family-style electric shower. It is equivalent to the level of hotel guest houses in China. The noise outside the window is too loud. The cars that run are jeepnets or trucks. The population density of Zamboanga is too high, and it is estimated that there will be no quiet hotel wherever you live.
