See the evidence
Luxurious, affordable accommodation in a perfect location in Manila.
The value for money is exceptional, and the five-star rating truly reflects the quality of this exceptional place to stay in Manila.
Luxurious feel but outdated and lacks the customer service needed to be a 5-star hotel.
the overall hotel needs updating.See all reviews about overall
Staff: What guests say
157 relevant reviewsStaff are most often praised as friendly, helpful, attentive, and quick to resolve problems, with several guests highlighting thoughtful personal service. Experiences are uneven: some report rude or untrained staff, slow and inattentive restaurant service, and poor communication. One guest said housekeeping returned used towels instead of replacing them; others describe discriminatory or insulting treatment.
See the evidence
The staff were incredibly friendly and dealt with any issues that came up extremely quickly.
the staff literally bent over backwards for my elderly disabled mom.
The breakfast staff were slow, forgetfull and rather inattentive.
The housekeeping service is ridiculous: they don’t replace the used towels, but put the used ones back.See all reviews about staff
Rooms: What guests say
143 relevant reviewsRooms are often described as spacious, clean, quiet, and comfortable, with especially good beds and some attractive views. However, many feel dated, and guests report older carpeting and bathrooms, inconvenient tub showers, slow or difficult-to-adjust hot water, and occasional maintenance problems. Isolated complaints include construction noise, dust, and cockroaches.
See the evidence
The room was large, as was the bed. The bathroom was well equipped.
Rooms are clean and very quiet making for good nights sleep
Somewhat dated rooms, showering in a bathtub
The only minor issues were that the water took a while to warm up when showering and the drainage was poor.See all reviews about rooms
Breakfast: What guests say
111 relevant reviewsBreakfast is often praised for its extensive, varied selection, fresh fruit, live cooking, and tasty dishes, including Filipino and international options. However, experiences are inconsistent: recurring complaints include crowds, long queues and slow service, plus occasional cold or slowly replenished food and dirty tables or cutlery. Some guests found the quality or selection disappointing for the price and hotel standard.
See the evidence
Breakfast with a wide variety of Asian, European, and international options, live cooking, and plenty of very fresh fruit, vegetables, and assorted dishes.
The breakfast buffet was ok in terms of options, however we had to wait over 20 minutes to be seated. The food that was supposed to be hot was cold or lukewarm. The staff replacing food wore face masks but had the masks pulled under their chins. I even found hair in multiple food options.
The tables in the breakfast restaurant are hardly ever cleaned, and the chairs are dirty. One morning, they didn’t even set out clean cutlery; mine was still used by the previous guest.
Breakfast was absolutely packed. Massive queue and no space for guests in the sitting area....See all reviews about breakfast
Location: What guests say
107 relevant reviewsMany guests found the hotel convenient for Robinsons Mall, restaurants, Manila Bay, and sights such as Intramuros and Rizal Park; some highlighted harbour views and walkable sightseeing. Others found nearby attractions less accessible than expected, described the surrounding area as intimidating or unappealing, and reported heavy traffic noise.
See the evidence
Across from the “Sunset Beach”, views of the harbour and - if you are able - walking distance to Intramurous, the Fort, Rizal Park and museums. We did a 12km loop on foot.
It is conveniently located for sightseeing around the city and visiting various attractions and facilities, such as historical landmarks, the aquarium, the zoo, the MRT, shopping malls, and long-established restaurants.
The location is simply awful!!! There is nothing worthwhile within walking distance nearby. (Especially not in the evening.) Even to Rizal Park or Intramuros (we chose this hotel because of its proximity), you’re better off taking a Grab or a tricycle.
Traffic noise unbearable, due to single glaze windows.See all reviews about location
Facilities: What guests say
83 relevant reviewsGuests often praised the hotel’s cleanliness, attractive marble-filled lobby, and strong security, though the building and décor were described as dated and in need of renovation. Elevator upgrades caused recurring waits and confusion. Musty, unventilated corridor carpets bothered some guests, including one with asthma; Wi-Fi quality also drew mixed reviews.
See the evidence
There were six elevators, but they were not connected to one another, so you had to press multiple buttons to call one. As a result, guests often pressed several buttons, and the elevators frequently stopped on floors where no one was waiting.
To start with, the facility smell weird, the hallway going to ur room smells bad… like really bad. Not vented and no AC, imagine a humid hallway with thick dirty carpets 😩
The building is old, but very well maintained and clean.
The lobby is like as if always chaotic..too crowded and quite disturbingSee all reviews about facilities
Restaurant: What guests say
60 relevant reviewsDining reviews are mixed: several praise delicious food and buffets with excellent quality, variety, and changing stations, while others report mediocre or cold meals, limited selections, and poor room-service food. High prices recur, especially for buffets and hotel restaurants. Slow or unreliable service—including forgotten orders and long delivery waits—is also reported.
See the evidence
The buffet had so many stations to choose from and the selection changed each day. Food was delicious and excellent quality.
Seafood buffet in the evening was not very good. Meals were medium warm, seafood selection rather limited, dessert selection limited
ordering from room service was a nightmare. no one answers, or they call you much after you order to let you know they don’t have the dish requested. I was on a business trip and had to sleep late at night as my dinner took ages to arrive.
We ate once for the lunchtime buffet which was almost 6500 php for 2 people which i thought was way too expensive.See all reviews about restaurant
Check-in / Check-out: What guests say
33 relevant reviewsCheck-in and checkout were often described as quick, easy, and courteous; guests also appreciated luggage storage, room upgrades, and early check-in or late checkout when available. Recurring frustrations included upgrade pressure, unanswered requests, extra charges, and delays: one guest waited an hour for a room key, while another was charged nearly $100 for early check-in.
See the evidence
Check in and check out were very fast and smooth.
The initial receptionist when we arrived was unfriendly and immediately asked us to upgrade our room despite us paying for the King room in advance.
It took an hour before we got the room key, even though they knew what time we were arriving.
I specified asked for early check in and it wasn’t available, but somehow the diamond club VIP was available right away with extra payment. I ended up paying almost $100 extra just for early check in due to my flight arriving earlierSee all reviews about check-in / check-out
Pool: What guests say
30 relevant reviewsGuests often praised the pool as clean, attractive, and enjoyable, though reports on cleanliness were mixed. It can become crowded with families and children, and several guests found it very shallow—about 3 to 3.5 feet. Access was confusing, with one report of hazardous stairs; pool-bar service and worn loungers also drew complaints.
See the evidence
The children enjoyed the swimming pool, despite really busy periods.
Very clean and clear pool well maintain pool area.
Only negatives are the swimming pool is only 3’ deep
It would be nice if the pool was heated. The access to the pool through the backdoor stairs is quite dangerous for the kids.See all reviews about pool
Transport: What guests say
16 relevant reviewsThe hotel is close to the airport and bus terminals, and some guests valued its airport transfer, taxi driver, and help hailing rides. However, arranging transfers or taxis was sometimes difficult or unresponsive, and one guest found hotel-booked transport 4–5 times more expensive than using an app; the airport is about a 30-minute taxi ride away.
See the evidence
Hotel markups on additional services - I understand profit has to be made. But sourcing my own transport via a reputable app was 4-5 times cheaper each time, than booking via the transport desk. Which is a shame.
I needed a taxi for a meeting, but after waiting 20 minutes, I got a Grab myself because the hotel apparently couldn’t manage it.
Arranging the transfer from the airport to the hotel was cumbersome and didn't work out.
They also have a designated taxi driver for the hotel which came in handy alotSee all reviews about transport
