I found Hotel Sogo Recto to be quite basic. the experience had its ups and downs. While the hotel's location is convenient for exams or emergency stays, the lack of comfort in the rooms was disappointing. I had hoped for a pleasant stay, but the subpar amenities made it forgettable.

My stay at Hotel Sogo Recto was a mixed bag. On one hand, it was conveniently located near the university where I had an exam to attend. On the other hand, the room conditions left much to be desired, especially the lack of a window and the poor maintenance. 🏨😩

Housekeeping seemed to be on top of their game, but the reused room slippers were off-putting. It's better to bring your own if you're particular about cleanliness.

My stay at Hotel Sogo Recto was quite mixed. I appreciated the affordable rates, but the room conditions left much to be desired.
