My stay at the Grand Astoria Hotel was a mixed experience. While the management is striving to improve the hotel with ongoing renovations, I noticed that the facilities are a bit dated. The air conditioning worked well, but I experienced some noise from the hallways and next room. However, the staff was friendly and the hotel is conveniently located in the city center near many attractions.

My stay at the Grand Astoria Hotel in Zamboanga had its ups and downs. The location is convenient, right in the city center, which I appreciated. However, the chaotic atmosphere of the hotel offset some of the positives. I was upgraded to a better room during my stay, but issues with the internet and a mediocre breakfast left me wanting more. 🌆🥐

I had higher expectations for my stay at the hotel, considering its name, but reality fell short. The location is convenient, and I appreciated the helpfulness of some staff, yet the overall cleanliness and maintenance need serious improvement. My room was dusty and the bathroom had a persistent unpleasant odor, and I found the breakfast offerings quite lacking.
