Garden Orchid Hotel

This hotel is very close to the airport. There are not any restaurants nearby to walk to. There is not a convenient store or grocery store year by. But this is the beat Zamboanga has to offer.

A disaster from the start. The room smelled horribly musty and the toiet didn't flush. The safe indicated a low-battery which caused me not to use if for two days. The room was in a distant wing where no amenities were located. The complimentary breakfast buffet was quite good with a nice selection of fruits and local/western options. The pool and central grounds were very nice and it was very, very easy to hail a tricycle to go anywhere in town. Extremely convenient to the airport, but they should warn clients that the airport will be over-run by hawkers grabbing your luggage and pushing you to get into cars with no guidance from the airport on what might be scams or worse. Be aware the hotel is about a 3 minute drive from the airport so keep that in mind. And also, that the hawkers were very aggressive but I didn't find them dishonest in any way..

Close to everthing..near airport. Good breakfast buffet. Cannot bring fruits inside room to snack o

Very nice luxury hotel close to the airport

Overall, I think the Garden Orchid Hotel is a great choice considering it's the better of the nearby hotels in Zamboanga City. It is located just off the airport property and located nearby the KCC Mall just minutes down the road. What I was disappointed in was the staff not being attentive to maintaining and cleaning the rooms on a daily basis. I just got married in Zamboanga City, and on at least 3 ocassions...I had to contact the front desk to have someone come to clean my room. Even after my wife and I had been away from the hotel for most of the day; hoping to return to take a hot shower, cool down and relax a bit..... The housekkeping staff SUCKS..... They should have a supervisor following up and going behind their staff to make sure all things are done properly. Several times, we also had to contact the front desk to bring washcloths and towels.. I reported a proble to the front desk about replacing some light bulbs which were not working in the room. Of course, again, no one follows up to make sure staff is taking care of the problems. The breakfast buffet was good and the staff very attentive in that department.. I would recommend going to some other hotels, but not many choices in Zamboanga City..... Hope your stay and experience is better than what I had....

Service was good , almost all request was granted, room condition is good for a 3.5 star hotel. Staff and employees are courteous. W free airport transfer w/c is very convenient. 1 minute away from airport, near KCC mall

I think this is the best hotel in Zamboanga - very near the airport and accessibility is good.

this is a nice hotel with large clean pool. Breakfast was good too. Good restaurant is just next door. Room service food is fine as well. Walking distance to the airport. We are coming back again.
