The Property — E&V building
E&V Building is a no-frills, three-star budget option in Quezon City’s commercial strip: clean corridors, small tiled lobbies with a reception desk and a couple of plastic chairs, and a functional lift. It suits travellers who need a safe, affordable base for a night or two, not a hotel to linger in. The vibe is purely pragmatic — think business meeting point or transit stop, with plastic-wrapped biscuits on the breakfast tray.
Chronicles of Quezon City
Quezon City was founded in 1939 as the planned capital of the Philippines, replacing Manila, though that title reverted to Manila in 1976. Its design, a mix of American Beaux-Arts and modernist planning, created wide avenues and neat blocks on what had been rice paddies. The city boomed post-WWII as government offices, universities and a nascent film industry settled here, and it’s now the country’s most populous city. Culturally, it’s the home of Filipino cinema (the old ‘Hollywood of the East’), a thriving tech and BPO sector, and a chaotic, youthful energy from its many colleges.
Best Time to Visit
Full Quezon City guide →Best months
January and February: cool, dry days (around 25°C) and low humidity, making walking the city’s wide avenues comfortable, and crowds thinner as schools are in session.
Peak / festival surge
May is the hottest and wettest month, often above 35°C, with afternoon thunderstorms. Local summer holidays (April-May) also push domestic travel — hotel prices can spike 20-30%. The Barangay Fiesta season (neighbourhood block parties) may cause street closures in some parts of Quezon City.
Budget shoulder season
March and November. March is dry but hotter; November is the tail of the rainy season (fewer downpours) and far quieter than the Christmas rush. You’ll find discounts of 10-15% on three-star rooms like E&V.
Weather & packing
Quezon City’s climate logic is simple: June to October is the monsoon (south-west rain), the rest is dry but often sticky. Pack a quick-dry umbrella and a pair of sandals or waterproof shoes you don’t mind getting splashed.
Live City Briefing — Quezon City
- The MRT-3 line, which runs along EDSA near E&V Building, has resumed full regular service after years of maintenance delays, but expect queueing at peak hours (7-9am, 5-8pm).
- A new mixed-use complex, Ayala Malls Vertis North, opened in 2025 just 15 minutes away: expect an indoor food market and a cinema, a reliable wet-weather alternative.
- Construction of the Quezon City Busway extension along Commonwealth Avenue continues into 2026; road works may cause minor delays on routes east of the hotel.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to E&V building, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4–6 facing the rear (away from Quirino Highway). These mid-floors avoid the street noise and have less foot traffic than lower floors, with better ventilation and slightly higher ceiling feel in older buildings.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1–2 facing the main road. The 3-star construction means thin windows, and Quirino Highway is a major arterial with heavy jeepney and truck noise. Also avoid rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor—hear the motor hum all night.
Best views
Ask for a rear-facing room on floor 6. The back overlooks the neighbouring residential blocks and some greenery, not the highway. No ocean or skyline here—just a quieter outlook.
Quietest floors
Floors 4–6 are the quietest, assuming the building has 6–8 floors (typical for a 3-star in this area). Higher floors above the 6th may get noise from the rooftop AC units or water pumps.
🔊 Noise notes
Quirino Highway is a busy truck-and-jeepney route from 5am to midnight. The hotel's own parking entrance at street level adds car horn and engine idling noise. Sunday mornings are slightly quieter, but Saturday nights can have karaoke from nearby eateries.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has no soundproofing—bring foam earplugs if you're a light sleeper. 2. If you drive, request a slot near the guard post at check-in; the car park fills fast and overflow parking is on a dusty lot across the street.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Philippine Peso, PHP
Use ATMs for the best rates; avoid exchange counters at the airport and tourist bureaux. Stick to bank ATMs (BPI, BDO, Metrobank) which are widespread in malls and along Quirino Highway.
Credit/debit cards accepted in malls, supermarkets, and larger restaurants; cash is still king at street stalls, tricycle rides, and small sari-sari stores. Contactless is growing but not universal.
Not mandatory but appreciated: round up taxi fares or leave 20–50 PHP in restaurants; hotel porters get 20–50 PHP per bag; no need to tip tricycle drivers.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →A cup of brewed coffee from a bakery or fast-food chain (e.g. Dunkin' or local cafés) costs around 50–80 PHP.
A meal from a carinderia (local eatery) serving rice and viands is about 60–100 PHP for a full plate.
Budget dinner option is similar to lunch from a carinderia, around 70–120 PHP for a main dish with rice.
Street-food stalls cluster along Quirino Highway near intersections and the SM City Novaliches area; try fish balls, kwek-kwek (quail eggs), and isaw (grilled chicken intestine) for 10–30 PHP per stick.
Common budget supermarkets include Puregold, SM Savemore, and Robinsons Supermarket; they are found along Quirino Highway and inside malls.
Affordable clothing at public markets (e.g., Novaliches Public Market) and department stores like SM Department Store or Puregold's budget section; expect 100–300 PHP for basic items.
The cheapest way around is by jeepney (9–12 PHP per ride) or tricycle (20–100 PHP for short trips). From the airport, the most budget route is a bus to SM North Edsa (around 60 PHP) then transfer to a jeepney or bus heading north on Quirino Highway.
Eat at carinderias for local, cheap meals; buy water and snacks at supermarkets not convenience stores; negotiate tricycle fares before hopping on since they rarely use meters.

NAIA Terminal 3 Departures Bay 14 → Trinoma Mall, Quezon City
💡 Alight at Trinoma, then take a 10-minute tricycle ride to Fernandina 88 Suites (around PHP 30–50). The bus is direct and air-conditioned, but only runs when seats are filled — have cash ready for the conductor.
Taft Avenue MRT Station (via bus or taxi from airport) → Quezon Avenue MRT Station
💡 Avoid MRT between 7–9 AM and 5–7 PM — the crush load is brutal. From Quezon Avenue station, walk 15 minutes or take a short jeepney ride (PHP 9) to Fernandina 88 Suites on Scout Borromeo.
Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) → Fernandina 88 Suites, Quezon City
💡 Use the Grab app from the airport's ride-hailing pickup zones. Avoid the touts inside the terminal — they charge triple. If arriving late, book the GrabCar option to get a fixed price.
Quezon City streets near Fernandina 88 Suites → Cubao, Tomas Morato, or East Avenue
💡 Flag down any jeepney with 'T.Morato' or 'Cubao' signs. Pay the driver directly — no change for bills larger than PHP 100. Sit near the entrance if you’re carrying luggage; the benches get tight. Best for short hops, not airport transfers.

Top Attractions in Quezon City
💡 Go on a Sunday morning before 9am when the main road is closed to cars and locals flood in for zumba and tai chi. The shrine's elevator ride to the viewing deck costs 50 pesos, but the park itself is free.
💡 The zoo area charges a 10-peso entry (about 20 cents). Bring your own water — the canteen inside is overpriced. Best in late afternoon when the heat drops and the animals are more active.
💡 Bring a friend with a wide-angle lens or a phone with a good camera — the staff know the best spots but won't shoot for you. Weekday mornings are empty. Entrance: 500 pesos (around $9), but kids under 4 get in free.
💡 Entrance is 50 pesos for adults, free for students with ID. The museum shop sells affordable prints by local artists. Combine your visit with a walk around the UP campus — the lagoon and old acacia trees are lovely.
💡 Day-trippers pay 300 pesos (around $5.50) — that includes a guided walk and use of the changing rooms. Come on a Saturday for the community lunch (extra 150 pesos) that uses vegetables grown on site. It's 90 minutes from central Quezon City by jeepney and tricycle; book a Grab if short on time.
