For Mother’s Day, actually, a week before Mother’s Day, we got an invite to stay at one of the coolest hotel in Quezon City-Hive Hotel and Convention Place.

Hive Hotel and Convention Place is an eco friendly hotel. They collect rain water for their plants. Toiletries are in dispenser so no small plastic bottles. That’s one of my major concern when I check in at hotels. The disposable of those tiny bottles that you can’t even reuse. When we travel, I bring our own toiletries so we dont have to use/ask for more toiletries from the hotel. Most notable is the use of Mason jar for complimentary water instead of bottled water.

Our room was a connecting room, a deluxe room connected to a Super Studio. It’s actually big for our family, kasya pa nga si Nanay if ever.

hat we love most in our room is the bath tub! For our stay, they gave us a complimentary bath bomb! (not always available but it comes with their special promos so watch out for it!) It’s my first time to bath tub with my kids. Super sayang bonding pala. Check: Hive Hotel Facebook Page for their weekend promos.

My husband loved the food, so that means a lot. I love any kind of food so my food opinion is not that reliable haha. But if the husband says the food is good, it really is!

Hive Hotel and Convention Place is still on soft opening phase but the hospitality and willingness to serve of the hotel staff is pang grand opening na. They specialize in staycations and of course, conventions that can fit up to 300 people!

For Mother’s Day staycation, book a room at Hive Hotel and Convention Place.Rate starts at 2400++ Pesos for a 2 person bedroom (special weekend promo rate, while regular price is at 3,600 Pesos) Try their super comfy 400 thread count bed with pocket springs and memory foam!
