I am about to graduate and I have to say, my four years in college will not be as complete as it has been without the dorm experience, particularly The Luxe Suites experience. Because I live in Bulacan, there is a need to temporarily stay in a place near UST for my convenience. So upon entering my second year in college, I found out about this condo style dormitory named The Luxe Suites. Though it was not completely finished when we first saw it last April 2009, they were already accepting reservations for the upcoming school year. With my friends Charm, Hannah and Ranne, we have decided to rent a unit from them. We had no second thoughts on the reservation since we were really attracted to the place, the building, its location and their amenities. It is located behind the Dominican School which is infront of the UST Lacson gate, which means that from the gate, TLS is just a 2-minute walk away.
So here it is. A tour of how we enjoyed our stay in TLS. :)

Units:
Annex building. The annex building was built last 2010 located just beside the main building.
TLS Lobby and Study Area. You can stay here when you want to study or when you're just plain bored. :) By the way, the lobby is a WIFI ZONE so you can surf the net anytime you want.
What I enjoy most here in the lobby is the free wifi because I can surf the net whenever I need/want to, and the fact that I can bring my friends whenever we need to do something for school, which is prohibited by other dormitories.
Guard's place at the lobby. There are guards assigned at the lobby and outside the building who are on duty 24/7. You would really feel secure within the place. And as if that weren’t enough, there are CCTV cameras built in the lobby, on every floor, and even outside of the building.
Corridor. You can see the fire exit in this photo.
There are fire extinguishers for every floor.
Elevator: (Sorry, I can't find a good picture of the elevator. Hahaha!) But the elevator works 24/7.
Stairs. You can use the stairs if you need some exercise. :P
Sample pictures of a unit/room: **This is not our room :p
You can have a maximum of 2 double decks per room.
CR. The CR is divided into two. This picture shows the other half of the CR. The other half is for bathing.
One of the most unforgettable experiences in The Luxe Suites were the christmas parties we attended. The management hosts an annual christmas party for all the tenants of the building. Food, people, bonding moments, liquor, smiles, laughs, happiness, noise, music, dance, games, party, all in one night = I LOVE!

We enjoyed the photobooth!
One, out of many good things about the staff of The Luxe Suites, is that they are very nice and approachable. The guards and other staff are very accommodating with our requests and they always flash their cute smiles with their courteous greetings.
The Luxe Suites is a clean place too. The staff cleans the corridors every morning and they get your trash outside the room. All you have to do is to put your trash bags in the provided trash cans of each room.
Worry not with your clothes because The Luxe Suites offers in-house laundry services. You can get your clothes two days after you give it to them.
They also have housekeeping services, so if you do not have any time to clean your room, you can just avail of this service.
TLS provides each room an intercom telephone, which allows you to make calls locally (Metro Manila only). The intercom phone is also used whenever you have queries and requests such as mineral water delivery, room maintenance and housekeeping services. The guard and other staff will assist you with these services.
You can also request for a cable connection, wifi in your own room, water heater and aircon. But I am not certain with the prices for each service.
I have a lot more to share with my experiences in TLS since I spent almost my whole college life here, but maybe I should just post another blog for that. :P
It's sad that we have to leave TLS soon as we are entering into a new chapter of our lives. But I would like to thank Sir Jason and his very very very nice staff for all the help and service they have provided us. :)
For more info, you can visit their Facebook account and Facebook fan page or contact them at 5591418; 5591305; 5591422. Look for Ms. Nelia.
MORE THAN JUST A PLACE TO STAY IN, THIS IS THE BEST DORM TO BE. - The Luxe Suites ManilaI couldn't agree more!
Before I forget, this is our dirty room. Hahahahahahaha!
It looks congested because we have a lot of appliances! Hahaha! Photo taken during my 20th birthday.
AND THESE ARE MY LOVELY ROOMMATES :)
My college life would never be awesome without Charm, Hanna and Ranne. :)
Note: Many thanks to Rach Delgado. :) xoxo
