As the saying goes, if it really was true love, it will find a way to come back. I guess I grew love staying at ZEN Home Knightsbridge Residences. For the second time, with the aid of my favorite hotel franchise, ZEN Rooms, I booked a staycation here. Imagine, during the times when most people leave, I still stay.

There’s a number of reasons why I keep on staying at ZEN Rooms hotel franchise properties, particularly in ZEN Home Knightsbridge Residences.

This is one of the many impressive alleys of ZEN Home Knightsbridge Residences for quick snaps.

1. The location is prime.

Just a stone’s throw away is the lively block of Poblacion where a variety of food and entertainment spots are located. Aside from a place to stay, everything else that you need is within your reach.

2. ZEN Home Knightsbridge Residence’s theme is Instagram-worthy.

It transports its visitors magically to Britain. The United Kingdom feels is a good theme addition to everyone’s Instagram feed. This might be secondary to everyone else but ZEN Home Knightsbridge Residence is a great shooting location which is my main reason why I go back and will return again and again. Just bring your outfit of the day and hit the snap button.

For photography enthusiasts and hobbyists, finding a location is quite a daunting task. That’s why when I found one, I asked my friend, Alvin, to come over for a fun test shoot and made the best out of it.

You can have a variety of layouts for your portraits since ZEN Home Knightsbridge Residences offers different thematic rooms and Instagram-worthy interiors.

You can switch from formal to playful theme by hopping among the amenities and common rooms of the building.

3. Amenities are topnotch.

Clockwise: The Game and Movie Room, The Gym, The Elevator Alleys, The Small Pool

I actually stayed in my room for some hours to work online because it has free fast wi-fi Fiber connection. If you need some distraction, there are TV cable channels available. The British elements are present in the rooms too.

But my favorite amenities are the thematic common rooms of ZEN Home Knightsbridge Residences. There is a library, a game console area, a movie room and a billiards and chess room. Gym, sauna, dance room and locker rooms are also present.

Play an eight-ball or nine-ball with style inside the billiards play room.

The study room and library is one of the common rooms located in the 3rd and 4th floors of the building. It’s such a conducive area for learning. If no one else’s around in the library, you may use that Macintosh computer unlimited.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

4. The price is affordable.

With feels like I checked in a hotel and all of the other good points in location and amenities, this is something that is well worth the money spent on. No wonder why ZEN Rooms is the budget travelers’ favorite hotel chain. I got my room for less than PhP 1,500 and it’s not bad for owning an entire room in a business district and prime location like Makati. The value for money doesn’t stop there because one can score discounts to slash the price with 10% to 20% off. Some properties of ZEN Rooms costs only USD 10!
