The Exchange Regency is a decent place to stay when you are working in a Ortigas. It's near several malls, Metrowalk, and is really convenient to several offices in Ortigas/Pasig.
As for the actual hotel, it's a condo/hotel building. There are people who live on certain floors. Because of this and the lack of elevators, one downside is the amount of time it can take to get an elevator.
The basic rooms here are really basic. You get a bed, in-wall aircon, TV, shower, and toilet.
The beds are okay. They are basic spring mattresses. In my visit this time, my bed had a spring pushing out. There are two pillows and a comforter. There are no sheets other than the fitted sheet.
My toilet was so close to the sink it made it really difficult to sit down. The shower has water flow issues. If you make it hot, the water pressure really drops. When you turn it back towards cold, you have to be careful because the shower head goes a bit...crazy. I ended up with a soaking wet floor because of this.
The only other negative comment is that the doors are a cheap plastic. This means you hear people in the halls when you are trying to sleep. On the other side, people hear inside your room. There isn't much sound privacy.
With all of this, the hotel is pretty clean, the aircon works well, it's convenient, and best of all, it's really inexpensive! If you are looking for a cheap place while in Manila on business, I would check this place out. It's not bad even with the things I said in my review. read more
