Good

I wasn't really expecting much especially it's relatively cheap for the location, but the broken AC is a huge problem. It's already set to 19 degrees but I feel like it's on no less than 26 degrees. Asked the staff to fix the problem but all they did was to get the AC remote (which by the way is not left in the room, but in the possession of the hotel staff!), and tried adjusting it to lower temp which did absolutely nothing! It appears they don't maintain the AC. Also there are some tiny cockroaches appearing out of nowhere and it's not something you would expect from a hotel of this class.
Not looking forward to check in again in this hotel, nor recommending it to anyone else, sorry.
Whole night the AC didn't work well. Asked the front desk to get me another room but the attendant Joy wasn't helpful at all. We were sweating as Philippines weather always so hot and humid. Didn't get to sleep due to that.

Have seen better
No wifi in room but only lobby; 6 floors and no elevator which sucks after awhile; no AC control so whenever you leave room with key, need room service to turn it on once you return. Room is quite small and so is bathroom. For the price i have been in better rooms in Makati and QC. Won't stay again.
Nice place a few concerns are breakfast did not include American cuisine. They do not have an elevator. I ask for the roaches to cleaned up out of our room while we went to dinner and they did not.

Ok location but the toilet bowl...
You must need to fix your toilet bowl. It does not drain!
Mainly chose this hotel b/c of price and location. Very pleasant surprise! From the previous reviews I expected something of lesser experience. There were 3 of us with 2 double beds. The room was clean and tidy, but felt a little small b/c the two other travellers had a little too much luggage. The area felt safe even at night. Lots of shops and street vendors around, so if u needed some necessaries they were close by. The only negative is that they don't have a lift, but there was always someone there to help u with ur baggage.
Overall a very positive experience with excellent cable Internet available for 200 PHP per day, friendly staff, good location near major highways, shopping, and train station, and hot water as well as excellent air conditioning. Unfortunately, the hotels has many rules and just reading them makes one feel like a school child being reprimanded, however this is a minor inconvenience. Cleanliness could have been a bit better, and there were some bugs in the room, but I think this is unavoidable given the tropical climate. I will definitely stay here again on any future visits to Manila.
I stayed here in order to pick up my visa for India. The hotel is located in the Makati biz area and thus useful for anything related there. Rooms are small but comfortable. Bed was nice and comfortable, with decent pillows -- something usually missing in the Philippines. Nice shower with big "rain" shower head. internet truly only in lobby. Nice lobby restaurant with good breakfast. 2 shopping malls just around the corner. Good value for what u get.

hard to find
Very hard to find and hi traffic area, not good for meeting others for fun times.
taxis didnt know the hotel but found it without any problem. plenty of hot water and internet access was good. the people working there were very friendly and helpful
Staff was great. Location was 15 minutes (via skyway) to airport. Mang Inasal just around the block. Very clean. Their wifi rules are annoying, you have to ask them for extra 60 minutes over and over. No elevator. Someone has to follow you to your room to turn your a/c on for you.
Friendly staff, good roomservice. Good thing that you could rent a laptop to your room. A small minus to the staff for forgetting my wakeup call one morning.
Hotel staff were great but there was no sunlight in the bedroom, street it was on was pretty rough and not a single taxi driver knew how to find it. Food was great, dining room good.

Basic place
Not much here...Basic place with very basic rooms and even more basic bathrooms. Breakfast was not good. Location is off the main drag so requires a taxi ride. It's in the "Washington" area of Makati.
Rather strict policies with limited flexibility. Especially in regards to extending check out time even by a few (15) minutes - possible only at additional fee.
Something already mentioned - frequent pop ups asking to re-enter WiFis password... I don't see a reason why the password couldn't work (without re-entering) for the whole 24hrs (especially, that number of places in Manila offers free and open internet).
I stayed there for one night and it was overall ok, but I can imagine getting really tired of all the restrictions if staying for a longer period of time.
