Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel has a great location near the main street, but there are better options available at a similar price. The rooms, provided with complimentary water, are not impressive. The service is nice and helpful, although there were issues with the shuttle service. The dining experience was hearty with a nice selection of items. The only asset the hotel has shown is its location, right next to the Shopping Centre Landmark.
The hotel provided a mixed experience for me. While the small rooms with limited windows were not ideal, the matrimonial setup was a nice touch. The service was exceptional, especially considering the diverse guests they cater to. The location was convenient for accessing popular shopping centers, but there were other options to consider. The dining experience, though hearty, needs some renovation. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
I was excited about my stay at the hotel due to its proximity to shopping malls like Greenbelt, Glorietta, Landmark, and SM. However, there are other options available at a similar price with better locations. The restaurant offered a pleasant dining experience, and the room I was assigned, located at the far end of the hotel, unfortunately had no cold water in the shower upon checking in, leading me to leave shortly after arrival.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Although the location was convenient and close to major malls and restaurants, the room I stayed in was disappointing. It was far from the main area of the hotel, the amenities were lacking, and there was no cold water in the shower. However, I found the service to be very friendly and professional. The dining options were decent, and the facilities offered were satisfactory.
The hotel is perfectly located near major shopping malls and restaurants in Makati, making it convenient for trips. However, there are better options available at a similar price point in terms of location. The rooms were dark and in need of refurbishment, but a room change was possible. The service was mixed, with unaccommodating reception staff upon late arrival but helpful and friendly service overall. The dining experience ranged from needing renovation to offering a nice selection of items, with some limitations in the menu. The facilities were decent, but some areas require improvement.
