Upon opening the HotelQuickly app, I was pleased that it offered me quite a number of options that range from standard to luxury options.

I picked Apa Villa Hotel Nagoya Marunouchi Ekimae, which cost me 2331.95 PHP a night including taxes.
The location is perfect, as the hotel is right buy a subway station. The room was a bit compact when compared to others in various cities in Asia, but it was comfortable and definitely good for the price. And did I mention the hotel has a complimentary onsen (hot spring) at the top floor?
