Century Park Hotel, Manila

Its a nice place to stay especially if you wanna take a rest a quiet place and have a nice staff except for one staff at the entrance door( sm side) i asked help for a cab but instead he told me to get help to the valet ( im upset) he only stand there doing nothing. anyway i just dont wanna have a bad day so i ignored it. well all i can say i enjoy my stay a very convinient location/place to stay.

The location of the Century Park Hotel, next to a shopping plaza in busy Malate, is a good one. You have convenience and access to Malate and shopping, although to be fair, most of the action happens in Makati nowadays. The reception area and lobby are large and lavish; the bellboys are helpful. The more senior staff seemed uninterested though. The star rating is four or five officially; in real terms, it is probably a good three and a half. It is possessed of facilities from good (nice pool) to barely adequate (a very sparse 'fitness center' with less than six machines in total). The rooms themselves, though roomy and functional, are stuck firmly in the 1980s. Very overdue for cosmetic refurbishment, though I guess this would be reflected in a higher room rate. All in all, this is a fairly fuss-free and convenient place, and delivers adequate return for the money, though smiling on the part of some staff is free and would add more value.

This was my first time booking a hotel through Agoda.com and it was very easy and convenient. As soon as I showed a copy of my hotel voucher at the registration desk, they acknowleged my booking and simply as a copy of my passport/ID and credit card for any incidential expenses/security deposit. No other questions asked. Checking out is also very easy as Agoda already took care of the billing. The hotel only calculates any incidental charges and bar tabs to the guest room and automatically bills it against the credit card you provided during check-in. The hotel staff were very courteous. I felt safe in this hotel and no unwanted solicitors in the lobby unlike other hotels I have previously stayed. The pool facilities are great and was able to entertain other friends and family who visited me. My one day/one-night stay was all worth it and had a memorable day with my family who came by to visit me on this short stop over in Manila.
