The Royal Mandaya Hotel

I stayed here and booked multiple rooms for our family. It was personally my choice because the location is right in the heart of Davao, and it’s more affordable compared to other nearby hotels that couldn’t meet our requirements. The beds were big and comfortable, there’s a gym, and the pool area was peaceful and not crowded perfect for relaxing. Our bookings came with buffet breakfast, which was also very good. But what truly stood out was the staff especially the security personnel, who were very helpful and attentive, particularly since we had senior citizens in wheelchairs with us. Overall, it was a pleasant and comfortable stay, and I would definitely recommend it for families. Definitely staying once again in Royal Mandaya when I am back in Davao

The hotel is old, no aircon in the hallway and the smell of the carpet is bearable but not pleasant. Our room was located on the 8 floor and inside our room,the aircon does not function well, we don’t even have to use our comforter. On top of that on the second day, there’s a leak in our wash basin. We can also hear the noise of the adjacent room which means the wall has no proper noise barrier. |Breakfast is ok except the person in charge of the egg section is not friendly and no smile at all.|The only good thing are the personnels on the ground level, eg: check in counters, concierge especially room attendants |Except again the chef in charge of the egg section.

Nice, large pool. Delicious breakfast and evening buffet. I had a room with an old carpet that I didn't like. They offered me 2 alternatives of rooms with no carpet. So I could change to a room without carpet. In my opinion, this is a sign of a very good customer service. The people's park and the city are in walking distance.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff were welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help with anything I needed. The room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed, with comfortable bedding and all the amenities I could ask for. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in maintaining cleanliness throughout the property. Overall, my experience was excellent, and I would definitely stay here again!

Its old. No smart tv. There are a few cable channel. staff are helpful and courteous. Lots of resto outside the hotel with a known convenience store in the corner. Breakfast is ok. Bed is ok.

Very Disappointing Stay We booked Royal Mandaya last minute to relax after a spa day, but the stay was a disaster. The aircon wasn’t working and we found a cockroach in the bathroom. I reported the issue at 7:20 AM, yet the front desk took almost an hour to respond, and only after I complained again. I’m especially disappointed because I convinced my husband to stay here based on past experiences, but the service has seriously declined. I won’t return and do not recommend this hotel. Just check-out December 30, 2025

We stayed for 2 days with no WiFi, no TV signal, and the air conditioner was leaking. We've called for a technician several times already. We called the Front desk officer to assist us, but they just told us there was no signal. It wasn't very pleasant since we did not enjoy what we paid for comfort and access to the internet. I hope that with this review, they will work on how to attend to their customers' concerns.

Very nice old hotel located in downtown near people's park and the nightlife markett . Big rooms and comfortable beds, only complaint is the low quality pillows. Very hard to sleeping. Other than that, definitely worth the price
