The hotel is near the city center, making it convenient for exploring the area. However, there might be noise and traffic outside, so it's best not to venture out alone at night.

The dining options are limited, but the breakfast is homely and satisfying. The omelette is worth trying, but the fish could use more flavor and a side of tartar sauce.

Being right beside the Ocean Park in Manila, H2O provided good rooms, although a bit small. Unfortunately, feeling rushed during breakfast impacted the value for money. The distance from the elevator was a drawback, yet the view was incredible. We have decided not to stay at H2O again.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautiful and always kept clean, making for a super cool experience on the 2nd floor with my own personal aquarium. However, some areas looked a bit run down. The service was exceptionally friendly and professional, though I did notice a difference in the welcoming attitude towards different guests. The location was unique, especially the rooftop moonbar, but it could be a bit strange and filthy in some areas. Dining was good overall, but the fish could use more flavor and the pricing seemed a bit high at PH550 per person.
