Rishan Village Residences

Convenient location and quite clean hotel i will visit again

If you want to feel youre in Bangla Road, Phuket Thailand, you can just come to Angeles City where they have Walking Street. Stayed for 5days in Rishan, closed to grocery marts and Sm Clark. They clean your room daily if you want and staff are accommodating. Some cooking utensils you need like strainer, can opener, tongs are those they dont have. But you can buy somewhere on the other side. Aside from that, everything is fine. We enjoyed staying at Rishan Residence, as if youre at home, I love cooking ans I cooked for my hubby everyday 😅🥰. My friends who were living around also visited us and we went to a live band that we had to drive for few minutes and went kareoke. We also went to Skyranch Pampanga to enjoy outside.

PROS: I really liked the location.Away from the crowd and just a few minutes walking to Fields Avenue where you can find all you need for a great stay in Angeles.Along the way,you could find laundry shops,eateries,etc..really good. The staff is very polite. CONS: The attached building is being demolished and they start around 7:30/8:00 am everyday,all day long.Not good in a place where people are going to party all night and get back to the hotels around 3:00 am.This is not the hotel fault but they could have asked the demolishing company to start at least around 10:00 am so that you could get a bit of sleep. The pillows are 'ROCK HARD' and I couldn't sleep the first night.I asked the day after for a softer one but they didn't really have any.They gave me a bigger one that was a bit better but I ended up buying my own one. The room entrance door lock was 'not locking ',so everytime I left the room I was hoping that nobody would enter.Reported it but nothing was done. The safe lock 'was not working' and I ended up keeping all the valuables and passport in my luggage,not good.Reported,nothing was done. The room was really rundown and in desperate need of at least a coat of paint. The cleaness was never done to a proper standard and I saw them cleaning it in less than 2 minutes.No floor mopped,no furniture wiped,etc..The kitchen sink cabinet was dirty upon my check in and was the same when I checked out.Reported nothng was done. The A/C was rerally loud and noisy and I had to turn it off before going to bed,otherwise could not fall asleep.It was leaking as it was in need of maintenance.You could see the leakage running down to the balcony. The wi-fi is the worst I ever used so far.Would not connect in the room and even outside the room the connection was not good and kept bouncying all the time.The bad thing is that also my local sim card would not connect inside the room. There were people smoking in the communal areas,which I think it is prohibited by law. The TV channels are basically local channels. The kitchenware provided was really old and piled up without any order in one of the cabinets. The electric stove provided was very old and not really good. All the cabinets had very loose hinges and not safe to open/close. I asked for a taxi drop off at the airport and they quoted me 1,000.00 Pesos.I refused because the Blu metered taxi and Grab taxi fare is never more than 350.00 Pesos.I was prepared to pay arond 500.00/600.00 but definitely not 1,000.00. Many different bugs freely roaming in the room.The place really needs a full pest control. The shower head needs to be held while you take a shower. I booked the accommodation back in November 2022 and the rate I paid for was good.I thought to have striken a really good deal.But once got there,I realized that the place is not worth a penny more of what I paid for. It is a shame because it has got a lot of potential,if they would just renovate and mantain the building in good working condition and keep up with a good standard of cleaness.

Good place. Recommended.
