Perfect place to rest and recover.
Pros:

Short walking distance to the mall. Very near the university where I do my morning brisk walking. Clean facilities. They have daily supply of toiletries and water. Easy access to major roads and highways; made finishing my errands faster.

Cons:

The toilet door jammed but the staff was able to fix it same day. Parking ramp should also be fixed; not suited for my car, scraped the bottom few times.

home for 2 weeks
Pros:

Nestled in the vibrant University Belt of Sampaloc, Oriental Zen Suites offers a serene escape amidst the bustling cityscape. With its blend of modern amenities and warm hospitality, it caters to both short-term visitors and long-term guests seeking comfort and convenience.​ I was in Manila at the time for training, making the hotel my home for 2 weeks.

The suites are thoughtfully designed, featuring air-conditioned rooms equipped with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and soundproofing to ensure a restful stay. Guests appreciate the cleanliness and functionality of the rooms, with some highlighting the utility of the in-room kitchenette for light meal preparations

A standout feature of Oriental Zen Suites is its attentive and courteous staff. Many guests have praised the team for their professionalism and willingness to accommodate special requests, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere that makes guests feel at home .​ Even during a 3-day black out due to a broken powerline caused by the construction workers, they offered to transfer me into another hotel temporarily, the Hotel was truly topnotch.

Oriental Zen Suites provides a comfortable and affordable lodging option in Manila, especially for those visiting UST or exploring the city's historical sites. With its clean accommodations, friendly staff, and convenient location, it offers good value for money. Thank you for being my home during my 2 weeks. Until next time.
