Staycation at BSA Twin Towers

After me and my friends are done with our outreach program from an orphange, we went to this condotel in ortigas last March 13.

A spacious 70sqm Two (2) Bedroom Executive Suite at BSA Twin Towers. What's in the room?

The master's bedroom has one (1) queen size bed, and there's two (2) single beds on the next room.

Amenities:
  • Electronics door lock system
  • Cable television
  • DVD player
  • Telephone with NDD and IDD access
  • Hot and cold shower
  • Hair dryer
  • In room safe
  • Free wifi
  • Complete kitchen and dining facilities
The required check-in time is at 2:00 PM and check-out time is at 12:00 NN.

If you are staying with children, 0-4 years old could stay for free, for children 5 years old and above will be charged Adult Rate.

This comfy sofa also makes a good bed if you have an extra guest. No need to ask for an additional bed.

And yes, mirrors all over the place. As in floor to ceiling mirrors. This may have made the place look bigger. You can also take a quick glance to fix yourself for selfies.








And yes, I am not going to deny it. These are the first three (3) pictures that I took when we got here. If you are unable to bring your own toiletries, no worries, they have it available for you (soap, toothbrush, toothpaste and shampoo).





























The dining area with a four seater glass table and cushioned chairs. See that big mirror from the background? 













The Master's bedroom with a queen size bed. And if you were looking for the phone, yes, it's in this room.



























This is one of the single beds in the second room, the things that I didn't like about this room is that even though there's an air condition, the room still feels warm even though I was the only person in this room. Is it because the air condition was facing the built-in cabinet? And the second bed, where I actually slept, was adjacent to the door, which is across the bathroom. For those a bit supersticious would not want to sleep where I slept for sure.

Having your "Kasambahay" or nanny with you? Yes, they have their own room with their own toilet and bath. So we don't need to tell that there's not enough room for them and they need to sleep at the sofa. This room is located near the kitchen area.




































And before I forgot, the kitchen, believe me they utensils available. So if you want to cook you own food you could.

As per my friend, who is the birthday celebrant by the way, she got this room around 5,000.00 PHP and something. Sorry, my brains' unable to recall the exact amount. But for a 2 Bedroom Suite, it's worth it!

BSA Twin Towers Condotel is located at the heart of Ortigas Center where transportation is an easy access, as well as malls, hospitals and banks.  

For reservations:
