About the Place
Long known as the "ABC Hotel," this place now goes by "The Bahman." Both the official website and Facebook introduce it as the "former ABC Hotel." Nearly all Naver Blog reviews are posted under the old name, ABC Hotel. Some of these reviews may reflect experiences from before the name change, so when searching for reviews, you should search using the old name.
Space and Atmosphere
This is a hotel focused on suites, with swimming pools on the first floor and the rooftop, along with several bars and restaurants and a spa. Reviews mention that in the evening, parties with DJ music are held at the rooftop pool. Blog reviews consistently say that since the rooms are mainly suite-type, they are much more spacious than in ordinary hotels, and the bedding and bathrooms are luxurious and well maintained. Some rooms are said to have whirlpool baths, separate living rooms, or bar areas. According to one guide, the smallest Standard Suite is about 31 square meters and the 2-Bedroom Aqua Suite is about 120 square meters. The rooftop is called the "Aqua Beach Club," with a large pool, sun loungers, a poolside bar, and a view of the Angeles night scene, which turns it into a resort-like space during the day and a club-like one at night. Some reviews mention fire shows held at set intervals, and one post says the canopy covering part of the ceiling makes it comfortable to use even during the rainy season. The hotel is also introduced as having a fitness center, karaoke rooms, and room service. One review mentions a fire pit area where you can roast marshmallows.
Popular Menu Items
The rooftop bar is said to offer not only Western food but also Korean and Japanese snacks, cocktails, whisky, beer, and soju. Visitor reviews mention sisig, fish and chips, pineapple pizza, and seafood jjampong ramen, and one post describes enjoying draft beer with light snacks like french fries.
Tips for Visiting
You can go up to the rooftop beach club for an entrance fee even if you are not staying at the hotel. You receive a wristband upon entry, and food and drinks are paid for all at once when you leave. One review says the entrance fee can be applied toward food and drink. One post mentions that guests enter for free and female visitors have no entrance fee. Since prices and events vary by date, the post advises checking that day's information before going. Regular tables and bar seats require no reservation or minimum order, but when going with a group, you can reserve a cabana by the pool, which has a minimum order amount. If you plan to swim, it is a good idea to bring swimwear. One piece of advice is to book about two weeks ahead for weekends and peak seasons, since rooms fill up quickly. Another post notes that there is a bank ATM on the hotel's first floor, making cash withdrawals convenient.
How to Get There
It is located on Don Juico Avenue, Angeles's nightlife district. The hotel notes it is about a 15-minute drive from Clark International Airport. Reviews say you can walk to Walking Street to visit restaurants, bars, massage shops, and currency exchanges, and that it is easy to call a Grab. Two posts note that the drive from the airport takes 15 to 20 minutes.
Recommended For
It is said to suit people who want to enjoy a party-style pool and night views, those who want a staycation with friends or a partner, and anyone looking for accommodation that is easy to get around from close to Walking Street. On the other hand, one review says it may not suit people who want to relax quietly in conversation or those who prioritize cost above all. One post says the rooftop is more fun when going with a group rather than alone.
Summary of Online Reviews
The Google Maps rating is 4.6 (about 1,800 reviews). Many reviews praise the pool, rooftop bar, food, and staff service, and there are regular-customer reviews saying they have been returning since 2013. One disappointing review mentions the room was a smoking room, so please check when booking. Summarizing seven Naver Blog reviews (two personal reviews, one informational post, and four travel-guide-style introductory posts, from June 2025 to September 2026), the most praised points are the spacious suites, the party and night-view atmosphere of the rooftop pool and beach club, and the location close to Walking Street. Some also say the variety of facilities allows you to spend a whole day inside the hotel. On the downside, two posts say the party atmosphere makes it hard to relax quietly, and another says room rates are on the high side.
