RED PLANET HOTEL TIMOG QUEZON CITY: AN EXTENSION OF HOME
One weekend
caught me by surprise. A few blocks from
where I live, a walking distance as a matter of fact, my mom who will be in the
metro for less than 24 hours, sister and I decided to stay in a boutique hotel.
We
searched online and finally decided to book at Red Planet Timog. It was an impromptu booking originally intended
for an overnight stay but my sister and I extended for 3 more days and 2
nights.
It
was a weekend of comfort and destressing.
ROOMS AND AMENITIES
Formerly
Tune Hotels, expect a no-frills accommodation yet exuding comfort and
convenience. For our booked room, there
are two beds available with one bed offering an attached improvised table,
which was actually used by my sister as study table in view of the upcoming
school examinations she has.
There
are 140 rooms available at the said hotel which comes with a complimentary wifi (a necessity nowadays). There’s a double room and a twin room, and we
were settled at the latter. (click to check room rates)
The
room has a safety deposit box and a hair dryer that hangs near the bathroom and
a huge vanity mirror. The toilet (with
bidet) and the shower room is separated by a glass wall and complimentary
toiletries are likewise provided.
For
others, the room may appear a cramped space but really with all the basic
amenities and the comfort it gives with an LCD TV, who would need a huge space
for a room. For a day, I just stayed in
bed watching TV and updating social media accounts, not until my stomach
complained.
However,
there is no telephone in the room that will connect you to the reception area
or housekeeping in case there are concerns that needs to be addressed.
Since
I have already stayed at Red Planet Amorsolo Makati, I can’t help but compare
the rooms’ interior design and lay-out.
Indeed, both are identical. The
brand leaves a mark of how a Red Planet Hotel experience should be.
LOCATION
When
in Quezon City, I must say Red Planet Hotel has one of the perfect
locations. It is near the government
offices, major television networks, restaurants, shopping malls, bars and
cafés.
Situated
at the heart of the entertainment district of Quezon City, when one gets bored
lounging at the hotel, there are a lot of choices to engage with.
A
convenience store is likewise available at the ground floor of the hotel next
to the reception area.
SERVICE
The
friendly staff assigned at the 24-hour front desk is a great help for
directions and inquiry on the where-to of
travelers and sojourners.
Since
there are limited encounters with the staff of the hotel, as there is no means
to call them for other concerns, although they do check every morning if the
room needs housekeeping, the interaction at the lobby for checking-in and out
is a pleasant one. All were done swiftly
and in an amiable manner.
One security feature of the hotel which makes it remarkable and at par with luxury hotels is the key card access which gives you access exclusive only to the floor where you are checked-in.
