The dining experience was a bit expensive for what was offered. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, catering to basic needs.

Staying at the MGallery Santa Teresa was a mixed experience. The hotel boasts spacious rooms but lacks in the luxury department. The service is top-notch but can be overbearing at times, and the location offers a unique vibe but raises safety concerns after dark. The dining experience is delightful, while the facilities are sufficient with room for improvement.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with great amenities; however, they need updating, especially the light fixtures and bathrooms. The lack of windows in the room made it feel dark, supplemented by a balcony door that barely let in light, which was a bit disappointing. The service was friendly and helpful, with some minor room deposit inconvenience. The location, though quiet and with excellent views, could be considered far from the beaches but close to interesting spots. The dining experience was wonderful but slightly expensive for some items. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
