Manila Lee - Malate Bayview Mansion

Stayed here in 2018 was on the 24th floor great view of Manila bay and the city huge room Bret Wi-Fi close to lots of restaurants,clubs, nightlife in the heart of Metro Manila Internet cafe across the street banks all can be found in walking distance

I have stayed here a total of three times. The first time by chance was a great apartment really high up with excellent decor. The next time was pretty okay as well but not as good. Those times were 2018. Being in Shanghai for all of Covid-19 I wanted a vacation once it ended so I thought I would go back to this property. Big mistake. I was fobbed off at last minute notice (after having paid, no refund) into their worst apartment on a very low floor. The apartment had a major problem with cockroaches. It was infested. The furniture was old and shabby. The TV had one sole channel - a Phillippine version of Youtube that was useless. The electric cooker did not work propery and was not even earthed. The kitchen did not even have a extractor fan. This place cost me top dollar and I booked well in advance - 8 months. But what really soured it was that there is a building site obstructing the sea view which the woman who runs this property failed to disclose. This situation completely ruined my time there and I stayed for 4 weeks. This place actually charges more for the sea view as well. I could really go into depth about my experience but I do not want to do that... In a word I was cheated by this woman who runs these properties. A case of 'welcome back and we will give you the bargain basement'. Not the way to run a business I think. North of 1000 USD a month. I wil never go back. Trust my review and avoid.
