Comprehensive Guide - The Royal Mandaya Hotel


  • Cost Effectiveness Not the best by any means if you’re paying the full rate for outdated rooms, but if you are able to snag a promotional rate, the hotel does offer pretty good value.
  • Staff Performance Service is standard for a large, busy hotel, staff are efficient and can cater to requirements but not with the flair smaller property would have.
  • Location The location in Davao is unbeatable for downtown access. Very convenient to explore on foot the commercial and cultural heart of the city.
  • Area Vibe Vibrant and bustling. People’s Park is right within the vicinity, as are shopping malls, the night market, and lots of restaurants.
  • Overall Cleanliness Keeping clean can be a huge issue at the hotel. Rooms look fine, but some guests complain about the aging bathrooms and old carpets. It simply lacks general upkeep.
  • Breakfast Experience The breakfast buffet is huge but all too often of poor quality; it gets very crowded and the choices are tepid at best.
