The Oriental Bataan

Guest review

4.0

Property was in a state of aging and lack of upkeep. Air conditioner worked but loud. shower stall leaked across floor. Pool closed on first door and then later opened. Area down the hill very busy and crowded at night with confusing one ways and street guards. Basic place for locals (one night) but not much for foreigners. Hotel that is past its prime and used by some locals for work stay.

Property not value for money. Poor cleanliness. With mice and cockroaches. Shower are not safe. Buffet food are not good. They should maintain the hotel if they want guests to stay. Not recommended.

Went there for a convention, there were puddles and leaks from the ceiling due to the rains.

The property is up on a hill offering great view of the town/harbor. The hotel is a little older but very clean with spacious rooms that are quiet. Shower is spacious with excellent water pressure. The food selection at breakfast was great and tasty as well as dinner at the Forest Grill was excellent and very delicious. Staff is friendly and excellent customer service.

Always a great place to stay in Mariveles

We booked several rooms for 1-2 nights. The room and bed sizes had always been exceptional and are priced relatively reasonable although slightly on the higher side if you consider the location. The hotel is a bit dated and rooms / amenities would need to be improved, i.e. gym - not sure if equipment are working and it does not look to be maintained, the rooms and bathrooms are clean but fixtures are not maintained well (bidet in our bathroom worked but you needed to flush to turn it off...it won't turn off if you depress). Buffet menu, apparently, is now subject to guests booked so if there happens to be less for a day then you are asked to choose from a set menu (single serving!) which we felt was not really fair.
