We were given a windowless room next to the staff room and the entrance, therefore hearing loud conversations and ongoing movement all day long. My recommendation is that you assign that room only when the rest of the hotel is full.

Great AC and the price was right!
The price of our stay was incredible, 3 nights for $89USD. Extremely clean all the time, from the front door to the room everything was spotless. Air con AND a ceiling fan. There isn't hot water but honestly it wasn't as bad as we expected. The water is Luke warm and once you get all wet you're fine temperature wise. There weren't comforters on the beds, only sheets. The pillows were great and overall it was a super nice experience. Close to the action and close to the walled city. Within walking distance to all of the major sites and an easy ride from the airport. I can definitely recommend it.

Safe Clean Good WiFi in Good Location
The hotel is in a good location and you can walk to most places. There is a nice local restaurant just to the left. It looks modest but the food and service are good. The people are nice. I had an egg special in the morning for about 7 mil pesos. The lunch specials are fish chicken or steak. I don't recommend the steak. The special comes with soup and a drink for 9 mil pesos. What a value. The hotel staff is friendly. Its a basic room but just what I want - clean safe and good wifi. Let the hot water run a minute and it will be lukewarm which is good for me. I was able to print my boarding pass at the lobby computer.

The room was clean but the hotel staff was not so friendly. There was one staff member who was nice. No hot water, not a big deal, but may be a deal breaker for some people. Water pressure was low on one of the afternoons and had to wait an hour or so for it to work to be able to shower. The neighborhood is not safe to walk around at night. This area of Getsemani has a way to go still.

Hotel Magdalena (in Getsemani quarter)
The hotel was clean and staff friendly. The room had A/C but it was a bit noisy ( the unit was vibrating). The location was very convenient to visit the historical centre (walled city) and San Felipe Castle. I had a pleasant stay.

Nice hotel just outside the old town
Lovely clean hotel and reasonably priced because it is just outside the old town. Just a three minute walk! Would stay again. Good sized room. They do have some very small ones so ask about your room size before booking.

Hotel Magdalena is a great place to stay . The rooms are cleaned daily, fresh towels. For some the immediate street might seem sketchy but it's fine . Lots of cafes etc close by and only a 5 minute walk to the Old City. Internet only worked in the lobby though they assured us otherwise. Lower rooms don't have windows but good airconditioning plus a fan . Nice and reasonable place to stay.
