What guests think

At Herald Suites Polaris, travelers highlight friendly staff, a clean, well-kept boutique setting, and a convenient Makati location near restaurants, malls, and nightlife, offering good value for guests seeking comfort without resort-style amenities.

Several reviews flag very firm or lumpy mattresses, occasional street or AC noise, and some rooms that feel small or dated. Wi-Fi reliability is a recurring issue, with dropouts or weak signal noted. Breakfast and the on-site restaurant are widely appreciated for taste and value, though service can be slow at times and a few guests found limited or cold items. Expect a friendly, well-kept boutique stay in a central spot with a few trade-offs.

Surprisingly upscale. Excellent food and bar service. On the edge of Makati, so other area venues in the immediate area are limited unless you enjoy bars and red light district.

I jump from one decent hotel to another. For mid tier level hotel, this is the best place I have stayed in so far. Clean, and best of all no roaches or creepy crawlers. I’ve been looking, not a single one inside. They maintained the hotel well. The interior lobby is classy. Although old, it is well kept. Not so fancy room, so if you are staying 70% of your time outside, this is a go place. Near in Makati malls; Greenbelt, Power Plant mall, Century Mall (can be walking distance) Friendly staffs.

Nice lobby and staff were nice. Upon arrival to My room I noticed the internet was down. I called front desk and they sent a technician who said he’d get IT person and contact me when resolved. Nobody ever called and I only noticed it was fixed later that night. Room was very dated and outlets on nightstand were not functioning. Bed was hard and lumpy. Springs dug into my back. Room is too dark. Shower is poorly designed as water always flowed onto floor. I would’ve rated 2 stars but the breakfast was actually quite good. Restaurant staff were great.

Having stayed at other Herald Suites properties before, was looking forward to trying Polaris. On the good side, the hotel is clean, has an interesting design and really quaint old Manila/Havana feel to it, serves a rather good breakfast and is in a part of the city that gives great accessibility to a wide variety of restaurants, malls, museums and other spots you might want to visit. The main downside is the room size. The rooms are really small compared to the other Herald properties. Good enough for a solo traveler for a night, maybe two, but friends/couples will be cramped. Really don't believe these rooms are 28sqm as was advertised. Other than the small room, you'll likely enjoy a stay here.

So firstly, I really like this hotel, very art deco 1930s vibe. Good breakfast included, location is convenient. Main complaint this time was that the WiFi was awful. Hate to whine about stuff like that but in this day and age it’s important and it was totally unacceptable. Had some issues with getting in my room as well but no big deal. Like this hotel, they need to upgrade the WiFi.

Property was nice, but no way a 5 star experience. Bed was hard rock, could barely sleep properly days I was there. Shower didn't get hot water until 5 minutes after it stays on. AC was not properly placed in the room, which made it tough to control temperature. And it is right next to the bars. So, it gets noisy sometimes.

The Wi-Fi disconnected every five minutes. It's the worst Wi-Fi I ever had in the Philippines. Each room has it's own Wi-Fi connection and passwords for two devices. Neither one of these would stay connected. My twin bed room was nice. The AC worked fine. The hot water kettle and mini fridge worked. No microwave. Breakfast was good. With four choices to order from.

On the other hand, TV systems were broken and I couldn\'t watch any programs.And the light to indicate "Do not disturb" and"Please clean up" did not work. Location was convenient. We found a Seven Eleven and a laundry shop. The laundry shop delivered to the lobby,which was so helpful.

Great staff and fantastic restaurant food although a little slow in serving and out of stock of what we wanted to have again. The only really bad thing is that the mattress in our room was so old, it was lumpy with so many hard spots where the springs were and soft where they were not. Had to put another pillow under my hip to avoid the stiffness and pain the next day.

We extended our time here and stayed more than two weeks here. We can only speak highly of this remarkable hotel. After spending an extended period in the Philippines and being rather underwhelmed by the general attitude towards tourists, we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have spent our final days in this hotel. Not only does this hotel meet international hospitality standards with impeccable service, but there was also a standout individual, Assistant Resident Manager Mr. Mark De Guzman, who left us utterly speechless. While we were dealing with several family crises back home, Mr. De Guzman was like an angel to us. He was warm, understanding, and incredibly patient. He made us feel that whatever we needed, whatever we asked for, it was his top priority. His hospitality was beyond measure, and it's an immense privilege for the hotel to have him representing them. We will definitely return when we have the chance, and we highly recommend everyone to experience this exceptional Filipino hospitality. For us, this is the only place in Manila from now on.

The room initially given had a spring mattress with no mattress topper, which felt like sleeping on a piece of plywood. After bringing up the issue to a different clerk at the front desk (Veronica) she switched us to different room with a comfortable bed without issues. I had a good night sleep and even extended my stay for another night.

BUT, bell person and guards were VERY helpful they should get a raise; thats why I have them all good tip. areas around the hotel looks like a ghetto Makati, so filthy and smelly. interior design of hotel lobby looks great but rooms were not as nice

Herald Suites is a good hotel. My room was large, mini fridge, hot water kettle with instant coffee packets. The AC worked fine, quiet and kept the room cold. Breakfast was included, from 6-10am, order from menu, fast service. Short walk to all the tourist attractions on and around P. Burgos Street. It's a 20 minute walk to the Buendia MRT Station. Would stay again at this hotel.
