This is posted near the elevator for EVERYONE to see. As it is announced, it says here that breakfast is first come-first served. We were in line, and there were foreigners who insisted they have reservations. Honey, Kyra, Jener, Kaye (the ones in charge with the queue) said there were no reservations for breakfast, but then suddenly gave in and let the foreigners through. There were a lot of people in line, but they allowed these people to get through. What kind of decision and judgement is that? I felt racism in my own country! Terrible, TERRIBLE SERVICE! DISAPPOINTING!

(might not be convenient for out-off-town visitors) 3 star. * Motif: modern decor. There is sign of wear and tear which can be fixed easily. clean bathroom and common area. 3+ star. * Service: overall, pretty good, friendly but not exceptional. 3+ star. This is averaged to 4 star for me! Stayed here during our visit the Philippines with friends who chose this hotel to be closed to her family's office. We stayed in single bedroom suite for 1 night and double bed room for 2 nights. The single bedroom suite is spacious with nice big king bed, nice living room with a full kitchen and access to presidential lounge (free drinks and food from 6 AM to 10 PM). It is definitely worth the money! The double bed room is generic but comfortable. We had breakfast at the cafe down-stair which was pretty good and fresh but not exceptional. The lobby restaurant provides the same menus as room service which is reasonable price. They have shuttle to take you to airport with about 1400 peso or $30 USD per person or per car. If you stay in the suite, it is free charge. The reason I did not give them 5 star because: 1. There is not convenience store on-site for snack or water/juice. You can buy coffee or alcohol at the lobby restaurants but not water or juice! You do have 2 small bottle of water per room per day! There is a near-by 7-11 store! 2. Room key is only allowed you to get to your own room but if you need to meet your friends on different floor, you will have to meet at the lobby. (Perhaps, for security reason that your key only works for your room floor! However, it is somewhat inconvenience when our group got separated and we could not get our luggage from our friend's room!) 3. Most staff is pleasant but not helpful if you do not speak Tangalo and/ or do not stay in their suite!

Hotel Benilde reopened to the public earlier this year after a major renovation. It seems they did…read morenot skimp on the cost at all as almost everything, from the logo to the carpet underwent an overhaul. There is an sense of leisure and elegance as soon as you step into the doors of the hotel. While some of the staff are students of Benilde undergoing practicum, one does not get the sense that the place is run by non-professionals. The staff, including the guards, are eager to please. They would even press the elevator buttons for you. My friend who has "staycationed" in Hotel Benilde loved the hotel's strong Wifi connection, clean and still sparkling new rooms, and buffet breakfast. Meanwhile, as I've only attended a few functions in the hotel and gone on private tours of the rooms (which they happily accommodate by request--perhaps depending on the availability of staff), I can only comment at how attentive the staff are, how clean and fragrant the toilets, and how goood (!!!) the food is. Overnight stay costs as low as Php 1,200 per person for their dormitory rooms. Cost includes buffet breakfast. If yoi're not worried about breaking the bank, the Presidential Suite may be perfect for you, at Php 15,000 per night.

You might be wandering why a Benildean would write about Benilde Hotel. I mean, these reviews…read moreshould not be one of those 'I love my own' moments but I am a big fan of this hotel, and I just want you to know why. I have stayed in Hotel Benilde for at least thrice now and every one of them was amazing. I love how their rooms are very well-lit and in just the right size. I apologise for having something against dimly-lit, humongous hotel rooms which make me feel that someone's going to jump from nowhere and murder you. Yes, my imagination is better thank my justifications skills. I especially love their blankets, they are super crisp and very comfortable. I would love to snuggle in them all day. There's also a chair beside the window that I love to sit on while watching TV. They also have the Café Romancon on the ground floor where you can get good food. It's a little on the pricier side (depending on what you order) but it does not disappoint. Tip: If you're a Benildean, I believe you can get a discount on the rooms. I would suggest you check that with the Administration first, I am not sure if that is still being offered.

Beautiful hotel in Makati. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. They work very hard to…read moreensure guests are taken care of from the second you walk in the door. The room... Clean and spacious accommodates US and European plugs, USB and kind USB outlets as well. Bathroom complete with toothbrushes shampoos soap etc. two liters of glass bottled water. TV channel selection a little small but I get it. First time I ever watch MLB is Japanese! Pool etc... Large pool with two swim lanes for those who like to do that. Two tennis courts a decent size gym and an outdoor smoking area for those who smoke. The food... Lobby Lounge Service most times was excellent with a few gaps at times. Chicken Cesar was very good, decent amount-of chicken and just the right amount of dressing. The cheese burger was good as well. But if you have the time hit the sage grill for the Wagyu burger, much juicer and actually cheaper. Sage Bar... Nice interior and again super friendly and attentive staff. Wagyu burger with fries was very good. Cooked perfectly and was very juicy. A solid choice. I thought the burger was good but the pork belly was just as good. The apple marmalade was a great addition. Circles... Very large buffet that had all kinds of options. We usually went for breakfast but everything from eggs to sushi fish head and some regional dishes. Recommend to try some nee things as you can take a bite or two Really enjoyed this place while balancing work and exploring the area.

3.7 stars Stayed March 31 through April 17, 2026…read more We had a memorable stay at this beautiful place. The staff are very nice and the hostesses in the lobby super charming. The location is near nice shoping and dining destinations. Some negatives.. Overall the hotel restaurants are too expensive . Shangri-La, you already got me with the room rates so let up on the dining prices. I suggest skip the fancy seafood buffet. It was ridiculous how you need to order a tiny lobster one by one and wait something like a half hour for it to be cooked. If you are a drinker like I am, stay away from the lobby piano and bar area. Service was too slow, drinks aren't stiff enough and the prices are too high. The swimming pool is on a roof which sounds cool but the sun was blazing hot. Not enough shaded seats. For that matter not enough seats in general. Also the cement around the pool is extremely slippery when wet. I slipped and almost threw a hip out trying to regain my balance. Be careful.

I didn't expect that there to be a really nice place for staycation in the middle of busy Tutuban…read more Orion Hotel has really, really comfortable beds and spacious rooms. I noticed that in all my and my friends' rooms, there is more than enough space to put another bed - or even two, perhaps. The lobby is elegant but simple and cozy - my friends and I hung out here too. Our rooms also include breakfast, particularly Pinoy breakfasts of tapsilog, bangsilog, and more. The room rates start at around P2,500+. The staff are friendly and efficient. It was quite pleasant talking with them. What is also nice about Orion Hotel is its location. For those taking the PNR to Tutuban (which is what some of my friends did), Orion is just a short walk away from the station. And of course, since you're in Tutuban, that means cheap clothes. My friends and I were able to shop for some really good finds there.

However, they have security checking all cars' trunks, and an…read morexray machine to check all large bags plus a metal dectector to enter, so it somewhat delays you going in. Hotel and room is very clean, but toilet handle looked broken, but could still use it. Staff are attentive and very nice. They greet you going in or out, and open the door for you going out. Toiletries include toothbrush, toothpaste, shower cap, hair band, finger nail file, small round cotton and cotton pad and comb. If you want your towels replaced, you place them in the bathtub. Bathtub and shower are separate, but the bathtub is little old looking so I didn't use it. They also have shampoo, moisturizer and liquid soap in the shower, and disposable house shoes. Sheets and pillows are clean and soft. They also offer robes. The 5 stars because Greenbelt 3 mall is right across the street, so everything is walking distance, even the MRT crossing from greenbelt mall to Landmark and SM mall. Because the mall is right across the street and the hotel is clean with friendly staff, I'd book here again.

I wanted to give New World a try after meeting a friend at the lobby here once. The lobby is…read moreexpansive and well lit creating a very good impression of a modern hotel that can stand up to the likes of the adjacent Shangri-La and Peninsula, and a natural extension of the classy Greenbelt 3 mall across the street. However underneath the facade of the lobby is a very meh and dated hotel room. Desks with old wooden squeaky drawers, an air conditioner with a mind of its own, no DND indicator at the door, and a faucet controlled by two knobs that need constant fine tuning throughout the shower. The check-in and check-out process seemed to take forever, and I can't imagine what it would be like during peak season when they're likely slammed. It's not all bad though. I think it's nice that they use Malin+Goetz products in the bathroom. And the bed itself seemed the one new contemporary thing in the room, which made for a comfortable sleep. The breakfast selection was decent, and a complimentary welcome drink was a nice touch. Still, given the variety of competition and options in the neighbourhood, I wouldn't make it a top choice despite it being the closest walk to Greenbelt.

The hotel encourages you to hang around in the lobby lounge, they sometimes provide live music, piano playing and light meal and drink options are always available. What I didn't expect was a 5 star luxury suite at bargain basement prices compare to other hotels I have stayed at. The decor of the room is breathtaking, along with VIP Check-in. and services available. I was on the third floor so trees blocked my view of Manila Bay and the boat, yacht Marina. The main restaurant is on the roof, offering both buffet and menu options with a long center table that doubles as a runway for fashion shows. The only negative was the neighborhood, it was a run down and high traffic section of manila. The hotel was originally built in 1939 and known for hosting General Douglas MacArthur. it was renovated in 1922 and perhaps in future planing they will improve the surrounding area from it's current state

The room is great, abit dated but good overall. It's dark since the window is overlook the indoor courtyard therefore you can't tell if it's the morning or not. The restaurant is great with plenty choice of foods (buffet style), the cafe downstairs has great cake, pastries and ice creams. There is the spa (which is fantastic- I booked for 2hrs massage for $85 and then the next day I booked facial to complete the whole set for $75) and gym and shop plus convention rooms. The funny part is whenever you enter the hotel you have to go through the security detector. Plus they're so so slow on doing things. They didn't or forgo to clean our room (we went out from 9-4pm and came back the same). We called down and requested towels and waters and tools 1.5hrs to get it with 3 called total and the last one I was abit witty with them). Nice location since it is next to the water and closed to other interests locations. Overall great hotel, with good foods and spa, great view and so so service.

Unlike other hotels, they provide you a folder with your pen and paper. That's a first for me. In their buffet, I've tried their Pumpkin Soup, Sweet and Sour Fish, Roasted Herb Chicken and Beef Stroganoff. I like their Salad station as well. And really love their Banoffee cupcake. Highlight for me is the dessert and the Beef Stroganoff. It's tender, not that salty and gravy has a nice consistency. The Banoffee pie is also great! Love na banana caramel flavor! So if you are looking for for your next event place, Ace Hotel and Spa will be a great option for you.
