1A Express Hotel is located at the One Avenue Building (beside Magnum Radyo), CM Recto Sts. CDO. It is conveniently located as it is only a stone’s throw away from major shopping places like Centrio Mall, Gaisano Mall and soon-to-open SM CDO 2 Premier.

Peaceful Environment 

Although it is situated along the hi-way, you can hardly hear the noise of the busy streets of CM Recto while you are inside your room which makes this hotel an ideal place for rest. I was there last Holy Thursday where I spent my time praying and contemplating. But whatever your reasons are, you can be assured that you will have undisturbed stay at the hotel.

Comfortable and Clean Rooms 

The entire hotel is remarkably clean. It is also well furnished and equipped with modern fixtures. The beds, pillows and blankets are comfortable. Also, the rooms are well lit making it ideal for selfies and photo ops. Moreover, they also have rooms specialized for PWDs which is located at the ground floor.

Delicious Complimentary Breakfast 
One of the things I look forward in this hotel was the breakfast. They offer two complimentary breakfast per room. Guests can choose from the menu. All breakfast meals comes with a hot beverage either coffee or hot choco plus a glass of orange juice. The pancakes are my favorite!
