The Property — MRH Building
MRH Building is a no-frills 3-star on Quezon Avenue, built for travellers who value location over luxury. The lobby is compact and functional, with a small front desk and a seating area that sees a steady flow of guests checking in and out. Its major draw is being directly across from the MRT-3 Quezon Avenue station, giving easy access to Makati and Taguig without requiring taxis. Good for budget-conscious business visitors or layover guests who prioritise quick city connection over a resort-style stay.
Chronicles of Quezon City
Quezon City was purpose-built in 1939 to replace Manila as the national capital, though that function largely moved back to Manila in 1976. Its wide avenues and circular intersections reflect mid-20th-century planning ideals, and the city still houses key government buildings. Over the past two decades, it has evolved into the country’s largest city by population, with a bustling mix of malls, universities and mid-rise condominiums. Today, it is known as a centre for media and the arts, with many TV studios and alternative performance spaces concentrated in areas like Cubao and Maginhawa.
Best Time to Visit
Full Quezon City guide →Best months
December to February: cooler, dry weather with highs around 28-30°C, and lower humidity makes sightseeing tolerable. Minor peak from Christmas to New Year but crowds ease after early January.
Peak / festival surge
Holy Week (late March/early April) and All Saints’ Day (late October/early November): massive domestic exodus means hotels fill and prices spike 30-50%. Local festivals like the Quezon City Day (October 12) add minor pressure.
Budget shoulder season
May and June: tail-end of the dry season and start of the rainy season brings fewer tourists, discounts of 20-30% on room rates, and occasional afternoon showers that clear quickly.
Weather & packing
Manila’s climate is tropical monsoon: July sits in the wet season, so expect heavy, sudden downpours most afternoons. Pack a compact umbrella and quick-dry footwear—leather shoes will stay wet for days.
Live City Briefing — Quezon City
- The MRT-3 line, directly outside MRH Building, has recently completed its major rail replacement project with fewer breakdowns reported in 2025-26, though peak-hour crowding remains severe.
- A new elevated walkway connecting Quezon Avenue station to the nearby SM North EDSA mall opened late 2025, reducing pedestrian crossing time significantly.
- The city government extended operating hours for public parks like Quezon Memorial Circle to 10pm during the dry season, but July’s rains often lead to temporary closures after storms.

Pilipino Street is a local road with moderate traffic during the day (jeepneys, tricycles, motorcycles) but quietens at night. Occasional street vendors or karaoke from nearby houses can be heard on lower floors. The hotel entrance may have idling vehicles. No major highway or nightclub nearby.

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.
