Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a convenient location in the Ortigas business district, offering easy access to major shopping centers and a variety of amenities. The staff were accommodating and friendly, providing excellent service. However, the room I stayed in needed a makeover, didn't match the internet pictures, and lacked soundproofing. The dining experience was okay but not worth the premium price. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel rooms are always well organized, but some rooms might need a bit of freshening up. The comfort level could be improved, but overall, the hotel makes you want to come back for more.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms are laid out nicely and have everything you need, with some offering a beautiful view of Manila Bay while others face a neighboring building. The room was spacious, with a dining table and kitchen facilities, but lacked utensils and pots and pans during my visit. However, the cleanliness was questionable as we found a cockroach in the bathroom upon arrival, which was disappointing.
I had a great time at the hotel with my family. The rooms were spacious and had all the amenities we needed, though some basics like room slippers and bathrobes would have been a nice addition. The kids enjoyed playing inside, even though there was a playing area on the 33rd floor. However, there was a bit too much furniture in the room with tables, chairs, and beds.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious with a walking closet, but it was disappointing that they were located on different floors, leading to some inconvenience. The service was a highlight as the staff were kind and accommodating, compensating for a late check-in. However, there was a lack of empathy shown towards guests. The location was convenient for my needs, just across The Podium, but I felt it left more to be desired. The dining experience was a letdown with subpar food quality, although the freshly baked bread was a redeeming factor. The facilities were sufficient but didn't stand out.
