Everything is a walking distance. There are two (2) 7 Elevens literally a few feet away, 2 Starbucks coffee places just across the streets. There is pastry/coffee place inside the hotel and a Spanish-themed restaurant (Tiabuela) that is open until 12 midnight and a 24/7 food delivery service called ‘Filling Station Bar/Cafe”, with great menus available in every room (cash & G cash only). There is a huge shopping mall 5 minutes walk on Kalayaan Avenue from the hotel. There is also live music starting on Thursday to entertain the guests while eating dinner or just hanging around in the lobby. The area is safe and the nighttime beats are exciting. A lot of things for adventure and places to eat/drink/play just around the hotel. I noticed right away are that the elevators & the hallways aren’t air-conditioned. The best things are that the hotel is very affordable and the staff is amazing. Highly recommended hotel in the Makati area of Metro Manila.

Room with a view on the 9th floor. Staff told me it was an upgrade. They checked us in early for half-day price. Room was nice, well-appointed and maintained. The bed was comfortable. The AC worked well and as quiet. I enjoyed the pool on the 6th floor. Minor peeve: the jacuzzi temperature was too low even in the evening when it should have reached optimum temperature.

Really nice lobby and hotel rooms appear to be very modern/upgraded recently. Very friendly staff. Note: this is in the redlight district, I was not familiar with the area and didn't see this in the reviews and only learned about it from a local. This didn't matter to us much, we basically stayed at the hotel or took a car to other locations. We did go to the Filling Station - American style deli, that was a fun experience with decent & decently priced food. Only negative - they only heat the jacuzzi when asked and even then it doesn't get to American standards of warm/hot.

Food was decent offered authentic filipino breakfast. Located in the heart of the red light district. Could hear pounding music from the 12th floor. Had to change rooms twice after checking in. First room had water leak. Second room smelled like paint. Third room had appeard to be sticky human fluids on the floor. We called house keeping and they wiped it up. Middle elevator malfunctioned and went pitch black for over a minute. After all that, they never offered anything except an apology. Insisted on charging us for bottled water at the end. Switched hotels and won't be staying here again! P.S. Wi-Fi was truly horrible.

Terrible experience! I booked this hotel for my partner coming from the airport so he could relax for 2 days before going home. He arrived at the hotel very early and while there's an option for early check in with a fee, the staff said there's no available room. So he left to walk around and he got back 10-15 minutes before 2 pm check in time. The front desk told him to wait for 5 minutes. It's past 2 pm and they didn't update him. There should be a room available for people checking in on that day!! I'm not sure if they were testing his patience. But there was a group of foreigners who were walk ins and were able to check in without issues. I can't believe how this hotel lives up to its name -- colonial mentality at its finest! Finally my partner was able to check in past 3 pm, they told him his checkout time will be extended but he left early on Monday. Other than the clean room and convenience of the area, I have nothing good to say about this hotel.

Nice hotel in an excellent location and staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms are a little basic compared to other local hotels at a similar cost. My one gripe is the perennial problem you almost always encounter in hotels in Manila. When you check out the reception staff want you to wait while housekeeping check the room to make sure nothing is missing. At busy times this means waiting 15 minutes which can adversely affect your schedule especially if you are trying to get to the airport. Secondly the inference is you are someone who would take towels or cups of similar and I really do not like being treated like that after giving a hotel my money. I travel all over the world and I cannot think of another country that does the same. On this occasion there was a hand towel missing which was missing because the maid did not replace is because her trolley was short of towels but then the reception staff ask me to account for the missing towel like I have stolen it. Every time I try to explain that I have no need to steal towels or cups but every time we have to go through this time wasting exercise which always ends up with me never staying in that hotel again.

Rooms were fine. Service, terrible. Location, sketchy. Never before now had a hotel refuse to check me out until housekeeping verified that I hadn’t stolen anything. Breakfast was terrible. Because breakfast wasn’t included one of the staff physically walked with me to the front desk to make sure I was charged for breakfast. I felt like they thought I was a thief. Because of the sketchy location they must get a lot of theft. As a result, all the guests are treated with suspicion.

The breakfast was decent, though I wish there were more traditional Filipino options. The egg station stood out as the best part of the morning meal. My room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The 24/7 security gave an added sense of safety, which I appreciated. Overall, a solid stay in a lively area.

Good value at price point for location in Makati. Rooms are clean and amenities are adequate. Staff are professional and friendly. Air conditioning consists of individual wall units that are loud and do not set to a specific temperature. Hotel is located in a somewhat seedy part of Makati. Never felt unsafe, but the consistent approaches by purveyors was annoying. Not a ding to the hotel, but Makati traffic makes transport to, from and around the hotel very challenging many hours each day.
