Ascott Makati is repeatedly praised for friendly, outstanding service, a convenient Makati location, spacious apartment-style rooms, kitchen and washer-dryer facilities, strong value, security, and suitability for families, business trips, and extended stays. However, several reviews describe the property and bathrooms as dated and needing a facelift, while the restaurant is considered basic.

One thing that I feel needs to be addressed by your IT staff is to fix the problem we had of your system allowing us to become members and ability to access by our electronic devices.

Staff are consistently praised for warm, professional, attentive and accommodating service across reception, dining, housekeeping, security and concierge. Edward, Dean, Gelo, Ryan and others receive repeated personal commendations; Edward remembered coffee preferences and helped an elderly guest. One review wanted staff more proactive and less distracted.

Upon leaving the breakfast, we tried to address the problem with CANDICE the obvious team leader of the restaurant who proceeded to fob us off by thanking us out loud as if we were complimenting them on a job well done.

★ 4.0Young Couple

The warm welcome from the staff, I always felt home every time I stayed here in Ascott and it’s so nice that the staff always recognise me when I come back.

Jimmy at Mesclun Cafe has made our last day truly special, his sincere service and smile made our last breakfast at the hotel truly memorable.

Jona and Cathy assist greatly with the amazing restaurant downstairs, making sure my workmates are always taken care of and eat well.

So my wife called the operator and asked what chanel should we input since the screen keeps on saying no signal, so the operator told my wife SORRY TO SAY MA'AM BUT THE SKY CABLE IS NOT YET ON SERVICE JUST TODAY BUT MAYBE WITHIN THE DAY THE SERVICE WILL RESTORE!

★ 3.0Young Couple

From the concierge, where Jun taught me how to use Grab, to the security team, including Archie and Jones, and the exceptional staff at Mesclun, including Kenneth, Dana, the egg chef Pau, Jon, Raniel, and the remarkable kitchen crew, everyone demonstrated exceptional service and support.

★ 10.0Family

Room service took no less than two minutes, all questions were answered in a clear way, and when we had a medical emergency, they were quick to order us a car service so that we could be at the ER in under 10 minutes.

★ 10.0Family

The fact that I have requested to wave my booking as my booking was no restrictions until after 3 days if my date and booking.com sent a message to Ascot but ascot has no gut to reply infact they just ignored the request.

Exceptional central Makati location, directly connected to Glorietta and linked to Landmark, Greenbelt, SM Makati, and One Ayala, with extensive shopping, dining, groceries, and transport within walking distance. The area feels safe and is 15–30 minutes from the airport, but mall renovations caused congestion, construction noise, confusing access, and difficult lobby drop-off.

The hotel is also accessible to malls which is a plus points for us you can just go down and go directly to mall if you want to just have a walk.

★ 10.0Young Couple

I particularly liked the location, super convenient for getting around (going to the airport or to BGC) but especially because there was a mall and several restaurants nearby.

★ 8.0Couple

We love the location, It's only a short journey from the airport in Manila traffic, Very close to Greenbelt and many other shopping options, lots of restaurants too.

And then a room facing the construction site, that was of course great for this price.

Suites are repeatedly praised as exceptionally spacious, clean, comfortable, and home-like, with full kitchens, washer/dryers, living areas, storage, and effective blackout curtains. Recurring concerns include musty odors, dated decor and dusty furnishings, occasional drainage problems, tiny bathrooms, and beds that can feel too small; room changes resolved some odor complaints.

Bathroom was probably worst for me and definitely need some renovation work - dirty grout, broken toilet seat (sorted with a call to the guest service), shower curtain instead of screen (personal preference).

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

I was sneezing non stop when I was holding your throw pillows and I can see dust where the tv is located..and we just arrived that day..

★ 8.0

The sink under the kitchen was really smelly and should be looked at, because it's not healthy for anyone who stays in the room.

★ 5.0Group

Room I was moved to was so dirty that window dusty, including the nightstand wherein you can write your name in the dust.

★ 2.0

The shower door does not close properly, the toilet in the first floor has a broken seat, and no soap at all!

★ 8.0

Even after informing the front desk the first time and them telling housekeeping they were still not cleaned/replaced the next day!

★ 7.0Young Couple

I love how Ascott designs their rooms to be homey yet still make you feel like you’re on a vacation.

★ 9.0With Friends

We were told that we’re upgraded but the new room has no bathtub compared to what i originally booked.

★ 7.0Young Couple

The rooms are a bit old now and you can see some wall designs starting to wear off.

★ 9.0Family with Young Children

The furniture in the room needs thorough dusting, and the carpet needs to be shampooed / steam cleaned.

★ 7.0Young Couple

Rooms are very outdated and no longer look like a 5 star hotel compare to other hotels.

★ 1.0Family with Young Children

Someone was able to change rooms for us but still the rooms smell wet and smelly.

★ 1.0Family with Young Children

The aircon temperature regulator DOES NOT WORK (preset to 66F, kind of too cold for me).

★ 7.0Solo Traveller

Beautiful area and 3 bedroom 4 bathroom with maid quarters in the heart of Makati.

★ 8.0Family

A bit outdated and not as furbished as other 5 star hotels in the vicinity.

★ 7.0Young Couple

Wi-Fi around the room was accessible, however, there was poor connectivity in the restroom.

★ 9.0Couple

When I arrived (around 4-4:30pm), I was told the bed is a king bed.

★ 8.0With Friends

If you left something on the room cant found in the list and found

★ 10.0Young Couple

Air-conditioning is working fine but we had a very minor inconvenience with the thermostat.

★ 10.0Family with Young Children

Also I asked for a pool view but I had the city view.

★ 8.0Young Couple

Also, the cleaning staff would not clean the room unless we told them.

★ 7.0Family with Young Children

The bathroom at room 1529 at Ascott Makati has Toxic Black Mold.

★ 2.0Family

Very expensive because the furnishings are old, needs repair in the bathroom.

★ 4.0Business Travellers

Bathroom set up for the two bedroom apartment was a little awkward

★ 9.0Family with Young Children

Spacious and fully equipped with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, and toiletries.

★ 10.0Family

We will never stay at Ascott Makati again..... just in a state of run down... no upkeep on the rooms, getting very dated....for the price they charge, you can stay somewhere a lot better and in the same position where you will get value for money.

★ 4.0Young Couple

So that was a bit of a bummer… also it’s minor but i think since there is a kitchen area, they should invest in some roll-up paper towels… we were having to use toilet paper to wipe our mouth and whatever.

★ 10.0Group

So far there were a small issue of smell in one of the room we had but fortunately the housekeeping Manager sorted and fix the problem offering us immediately an upgrade just to compensate the inconvenience that had happen.

★ 10.0Family with Young Children

Also the room i booked - i chose a king size bed, they gave us a 2 single beds, the solution they gave is to put the beds together, which is dangerous again since we have a toddler

★ 3.0Family with Young Children

They also missed to clean the room the whole morning on the day that we extended our stay so we had to request and they said they missed it because there was a glitch in their system.

Breakfast: What guests say

View Ascott Makati

209 relevant reviews

Breakfast is usually praised for fresh, well-prepared local and international variety, made-to-order eggs and noodles, changing menus, and warm, attentive staff who remember preferences. Some guests find the spread limited or overpriced, coffee inconsistent, and breakfast disappointing; several third-party bookings caused confusion when breakfast was not included.

No complimentary water bottles? you provided a water dispenser which did not make any sense if you want to drink cold water not to mention The only dish provided are 2 small coffee cups that 1-don’t match and 2-could probably only hold 1-2 oz of water.

★ 7.0Young Couple

As a European guest, I could wish that there was a selection of yogurt, a slightly larger selection of fruit than mostly just melon and that there was fresh orange juice every morning - when it is a five-star hotel. otherwise it was very nice.

★ 9.0Business Travellers

Mesclun restaurant - we ordered room service breakfast, we waited for almost an hour, and they got the food wrong, i specifically requested for plain rice, they have my daughter fried rice were she might get allergies. Very dangerous

★ 3.0Family with Young Children

Nothing. If I had to be picky, the breakfast was not of the same standard as other hotels I have stayed at, though I would not know how it compares to other hotels in Manila.

★ 10.0Business Travellers

A big thank-you to Chef Sam, Chef Gil, and their team for serving such a delightful spread every morning, and to Chef Pau and Chef Mark for the egg-cellent omelettes and sunny-side-up eggs!

★ 10.0Family

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and no matter how exhausted i was from jet lag or being up late the night before, i made sure i made it to breakfast.

★ 10.0Group

We want to especially thank the staff in the restaurant who made us look forward to our time at the breakfast buffet every morning - Jimmy, Fernan, and Reynald.

★ 10.0Family

The breakfast area is very busy and the buffet is mainly Asian cuisine with exception of a few options like eggs, pancakes, waffles, and cereals.

★ 7.0Young Couple

He remembered our preferences and made every meal feel like a catch-up with a friend rather than a routine dining experience.

★ 10.0Family

On our first day of breakfast, it took a bit of time to get a seat since we were 4.

★ 10.0Family with Young Children

The icing on the cake was the incredible breakfast buffet that we woke up early for every morning.

★ 10.0Family

The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, all of which were fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented.

★ 10.0Family

I happened to stay at ascott bgc before, and the food quality there is a lot better.

Reynald during breakfast was very attentive to my needs as if I have a personal butler

★ 10.0Family

We always feel at home in Ascott and enjoy the food and service at Mesclun.

★ 10.0Family

It’s a pretty pricey hotel and the breakfast is expensive given the spread they had.

Breakfast not worth for those who's a small eater, not much choices or variety.

★ 7.0Extended Group

The coffee was excellent and kept coming, which made my morning start off right.

★ 10.0Family

The Duty Manager could only offer us free breakfast, massage and late check out.

★ 3.0Young Couple

Some of the food in the hot stations was cold like rice, sausages, pancakes.

Breakfast buffet is decent, but, in my opinion overpriced for what was served.

The Egg station and Noodle station crew always served with a smile.

Clean, accessible serviced-apartment facilities are a strong point: guests repeatedly praise the pool, gym, basketball and tennis courts, kitchen equipment, activities, location and sustainability measures. However, several reports cite aging rooms and equipment, bathroom, drainage and lighting problems, slow Wi‑Fi or outdated TV, limited towels, and occasional construction or access via two elevators; maintenance usually responds promptly.

Scam laundry service (2 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, few socks and few underwear pairs was stunning 83 euro after being here for a week and not having time to do laundry due to work and not knowing area) the Ceo must be doing the laundry himself for each client.

★ 4.0Business

A bit disappointed that no enough towels that I have to request in my first night, I have to use bathrooms tissue from another room, no kitchen towel, no baking utensils , there’s a blue towel lying on the kitchen floor no idea what it was.

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

Facilities was not in my expectations... The washing machine combined dryer not working properly.. the iron the wire is showing and the stove is wobbly.. Kettle you have to be careful not to get burn as the lid open when you pouring the watrr

★ 7.0Family with Young Children

Disappointed in cooking utensils, water heater for coffee didnt work, sink and shower and bathroom had issues draining, shower did not get very hot but sinks did, old tv's without access to netflix, etc.

★ 8.0Partner

They charged for access of FIFA Football World Championship, which could be a very nice service provided by Ascott for free to make customers feel that in some way they appreciated clients choosing Ascott.

★ 7.0Young Couple

They kept trying to fix it but it was warm at best, for a 5 star hotel and the price we paid for the apartment this is not acceptable.

★ 4.0Family with Young Children

Make sure to provide tea towels In the kitchen and seems no power outlet to use the hairdryer in the bathroom or I just didn’t see it.

★ 9.0Young Couple

Hotel removed tables and chairs in the smoking area, as though removing them will discourage smokers from smoking. Instead, their absence, equates to discrimination of smokers.

★ 8.0With Friends

Hard to find way in and out as multiple elevators for hotel levels vs different elevators for ground floor exit. Could label elevator to help distinguish

★ 10.0Business Travellers

Ordering grab food cannot be sent to your room (unlike every other serviced residence in Makati). A real hassle to go downstairs on 2 sets.

★ 7.0Solo Traveller

The pool area and on-site activities kept the little ones entertained, while the relaxed atmosphere gave us a chance to unwind as a family.

★ 10.0Family

Additionally, if you're in the mood to cook, the hotel provides cookware, ample utensils, and plates, making it easy to prepare your own meals.

★ 7.0Family with Young Children

Air conditioning system needs to be cleaned, we increased the fan speed and after a while our eyes became itchy and red.

★ 3.0Family with Young Children

There are some building works being done around the entrance but it is not disruptive to the stay at all.

★ 9.0Solo Traveller

Some guy came in from staff and made it work for a few minutes but did not replace it.

TV remote worked on and off, it was replaced right away but did the same thing after awhile.

★ 8.0Family

We didnt have cable the entire stay, but they allowed us to screen mirror with our phones.

★ 6.0Family

It is a serviced apartment so expect a kitchen, a washer and dryer and a dining table.

The location of the lighting cast a shadow on the mirror, creating difficulty during shaving.

View Ascott Makati

103 relevant reviews

Check-in/out is often described as fast, smooth and friendly, with staff such as Kirth, Gelo, Jenny and Kaye praised for early or late flexibility and luggage or transport help. However, repeated complaints cite one- to two-hour waits, unavailable or wrongly assigned rooms, poor updates, deposit/payment confusion, elevator or key-card problems, construction access, and occasional rude service.

When I checked in I asked the receptionist if there was any construction 🚧 going on at the hotel because I was at the other ascott the day before were there was construction noise and she looked at me and said no only to find out that there was construction pool side.

★ 6.0

Delay in check in to the room .. when we arrived at 4 pm the reception told us to wait until they fix the bathroom and we waited with kids more than an hour before we went to our room at 6 pm although the check in time is 3 ..

★ 5.0Family with Young Children

I booked thru booking.com; paid via credit card at the hotel but i was not given a copy of my payment (small paper when you pay via credit card) There was also an additional 1,000 charge which i did not understand why was it charged upon check in.

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

We extended for another night but they failed to remind us to renew our keycard so when we got back to the room, we could not open the door and had to sit at the hallway waiting for the card to be renewed.

★ 7.0Family with Young Children

We had to wait in line for over 40 minutes while the 3 check-in staff checked in 3 people who seemed to think they were very important... it is just a hotel! Check in should take 10 to 15 mins.

★ 4.0Young Couple

We booked the 3 bedroom suite and there were 4 of us and she gave us 4 card keys which is what we appreciated the most in case any of us wanted to leave the apartment.

★ 7.0Family with Young Children

There was construction going on at the time of our stay, so the entrance was blocked off and there was an alternate entrance which was just a minute or 2 from the entrance.

★ 8.0Young Couple

It was just cumbersome especially when you are carrying a lot or if you are in a hurry to go to your room and cards won’t work when you get to the elevator.

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

On check out, i gave my card keys and i was just told everything is settled but no copy or no explanation why was i charged additional 1,000 on check in.

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

Only 2 staffs in the reception and not very efficient, perhaps the computer system from the hotel was too slow, perhaps front desk people were not so efficient either.

★ 7.0Young Couple

Long lines to check in and checkout and not even an exaggeration like took about an hour to check in and wait another 20 minutes to grab the keys.

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

I booked month ahead for 4 rooms which 2 of them should be a twin bed room and upon check in there was no available 2 twin bed rooms.

★ 5.0Family with Young Children

Hadn’t slept in 36 hours and so were forced to sleep on the sofa in reception until they finally allowed us to go up to our room.

★ 4.0Young Couple

And I also requested for late checkout for at least 1 hour because we have a late check in anyway, but they declined my request.

★ 10.0Family with Young Children

We needed a later checkout as my wife was stuck at a bank meeting and could not get back through traffic by noon.

★ 4.0Young Couple

The lobby is located on the 7th floor, so you pass through security on the first floor and I love this.

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

We arrived early and they allowed us to utilize the parking space even though it's not yet our check-in time.

★ 10.0Family with Young Children

The staff said she will send someone to assist me unfortunately after a long time of waiting nothing came.

★ 8.0Young Couple

Late check in - I scheduled it at 3pm and waited until 4pm before I was accomodated.

★ 7.0Young Couple

When we checked in at around 6PM, we were given a room that was already occupied.

★ 4.0Family with Young Children

They even refuse to speak with Booking.com agents who have requested the invoice multiple times.

Mesclun is repeatedly praised for flavorful, well-presented food, broad Filipino and international choices, attentive service, and a pleasant atmosphere. Guests particularly mention sisig pasta, sinigang, desserts, and generous servings. Breakfast is generally varied but can be crowded, while some reports cite slow service, unavailable menu items, high prices, or bland food.

The “16 hour beef" tasted as if it had been tortured and beaten to death; even adding salt and pepper (which I had to ask for because it was not on the table) could not help the insipid taste.

I'll be neutral on taste of food, quite bland, nothing horrible but nothing great. Quite expensive and the food menu is wrong (see image), when asked about it before paying, just got told that they are updating it.

★ 4.0Business

This was our 4th time checking in at Ascott, but our first time having dinner at Mesclun Restaurant and Café — and it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

★ 10.0Family

We tried the ube cheesecake baked by our daughter, and it was so good that we ended up ordering 3 more to take home for our family members to try.

★ 10.0Couples

We did decide to try the hotel restaurant for breakfast, though found that the range and quality of food and the choice of beverages compared poorly with our previous visits.

★ 7.0Young Couple

Their sisig pasta is heaven, so delicious as well as the mesclun salad (must be really good as it's the resto's name 😀) and fish and chips too!

★ 10.0Couples

We didn't eat at the hotel buffet as we were only there for a couple of days and wanted to eat at various restaurants.

★ 10.0Family with Children

The chairs in the dining area were also old and no longer firm enough to be able to sit in them properly.

★ 1.0Family with Young Children

A truly bad and disappointing experience was the Valentine’s day dinner for which we had reserved a table and invited another couple.

★ 6.0Young Couple

I had dinner at the hotel restaurant on the 6th floor and had club sandwich with chips and mayonnaise on the side.

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

The restaurant fills up very quickly for breakfast and can have you standing around for a while waiting for a free table.

★ 9.0Young Couple

We ordered bulgogi, sisig spaghetti, pizza, California maki, truffle soup, and chicken buttermilk — each dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying.

★ 10.0Family

It’s rare to find a restaurant where you feel more like family than guests, but that’s exactly the experience Mesclun delivers.

★ 10.0Partner

The staff were incredibly attentive, with a keen eye for detail that made the entire visit feel personalized and thoughtful.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

The restaurant has too many workers and not enough attention to the customers, or maybe just because it was me?

★ 6.0Business Travellers

No matter how many times I eat there, the food and staff are a 10 out of 10.

★ 10.0Couples

Combined with the restaurant's cozy and elegant ambiance, it created a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience.

★ 10.0Solo Travel

On top of that, the music was so loud that you could barely have a conversation.

★ 6.0Young Couple

The food was great, the atmosphere was really nice and the service was topnotch.

★ 10.0Family

Thanks to Sir Jasson and the supervisor Sir Deo, for the great service!

★ 10.0Solo Travel

It’s a place that makes every stay at Ascott even more memorable.

I had a wonderful dining experience at Mesclun Restaurant in Ascott Makati.

I'd suggest going earlier versus later to beat the breakfast rush.

★ 10.0Friends Getaway

★ 10.0Solo Travel

Not organised and very average for a "5 stars" hotel.

Pool: What guests say

View Ascott Makati

43 relevant reviews

Guests frequently praise the clean, spacious, attractive pool and adjoining gym, with many calling it large, fantastic, or high-end. The jacuzzi, warm water, poolside dining, and 10 p.m. closing are notable advantages. Recurring drawbacks include occasional cloudiness or dirt, limited shade, crowding, and some comments that the outdoor pool feels small; one family reported it was closed.

The staff at the restaurant and pool area follow the rules but the front desk would allow guests to take the dogs INSIDE the pool area.

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

They never opened the pool. We had 2 kids in the family that they never got the chance to enjoy it.

★ 8.0Family with Children

The pool was a lot of fun, we had 3 kids and they had a blast.

★ 10.0Family with Children

The gym is repeatedly praised as exceptionally large, clean, modern, air-conditioned, and well equipped, with Life Fitness machines, 24-hour access, and a high-end pool area. Guests value the convenience and friendly staff. One review reports that some machines seriously need maintenance, the only notable recurring concern in the evidence.

I HAVE TO SAY THE LIFE FITNESS IS MY PREFERRED GYM EQUIPMENT; TRULY ENJOYED OUR WORKOUT THERE.

Ongoing entrance construction repeatedly made hotel drop-offs, pickups, taxis, and Grab access difficult, with unclear pickup-point instructions and limited space. Airport transfers were mixed: some found them excellent or convenient, while others reported an expensive A$76 trip in an old, rattling Toyota and poor transport quality. Basement 3 was easier for car-bag collection.

The hotel should advise car owners to go to basement 3 and do bag pickup from there is much easier as took 15 minutes to go around and get back into mall hotel car park

★ 8.0Family with Children

There was construction going on so it made it extremely difficult to get our Grab vehicle to find location.

★ 7.0Family with Children

The cab itself ia in a bad shape.. had maggots in the cab i got from the hotel.

★ 4.0Family with Children

There were two pick-up points and we did not know how to describe to Grab drivers.

★ 9.0Couple

Temporary closure of it’s entrance while renovations are ongoing making drop off/pick up a challenge.

★ 10.0Solo Traveller

However since there was on-going construction in the front, access to outside transportation was inconvenient.

★ 8.0Family

For the same price as my pickup van, this was an older rickety van.

★ 6.0Family with Young Children

The cost of the Airport Transfer was Aus $76.00 in a rattler old Toyota.

★ 6.0Young Couple

Major building work going on outside entrance resulting in difficulty with own car

★ 8.0Family with Children

Cost to Airport is Expensive yet its in for Hassle Free

★ 10.0Solo Traveller

I tried calling our hotel and nobody answers the phone, weird!

★ 9.0Couple

Cauae its so unpleasnt to try and hail a cab.

★ 4.0Family with Children

★ 10.0Family with Young Children

★ 4.0Family with Children

The hotel offers dedicated, free, safe parking with direct basement access, and several guests found it easy. However, locating the hotel area and exits is repeatedly confusing because signage is inadequate; the shared mall structure can be inefficient or congested, and extra-car parking may be pricey.

There is a very big need to improve the signages to get to the designated parking area of the hotel at the basement 3 level.

★ 9.0Young Couple

Parking—they offer a dedicated parking area within the mall specifically for hotel guests, which has direct access to the hotel basement.

★ 7.0Family with Young Children

Parking is roundabout and not efficient. It is shared with the mall (although a secluded part is reserved for the hotel).

★ 8.0Family with Young Children

Last but not least, the black cat living in the parking garage was the cherry on the top.

★ 10.0Family

Getting to the car park from the street is a little difficult as there isn’t much signage.

★ 10.0Young Couple

Finding the property parking was a bit confusing and also going to lobby.

★ 9.0Solo Traveller

We cant figure where to exit due to lack of signage direction.

★ 9.0Family with Young Children

NOt convenience in parking traffic jam in parking when they drop customer

★ 10.0Business Travellers

No are that car can wait for transfer all baggage

★ 10.0Business Travellers

However it's a bit pricey for an extra car.

★ 10.0Family

Requested in room massage from on-site spa but massuese did not have a massage table and just wanted to do the massage on the bed.

★ 10.0Family with Young Children

Had a massage at the spa downstairs; considering the price, it was underwhelming and the room they used lacked a relaxing atmosphere (clutter.)

★ 8.0Solo Traveller

Finally, my three sisters and I each had a massage at the spa, and I was extremely impressed by the massage.
