Location, ambience, decor, quietness, amenities, dining -all as expected from a Mandarin Oriental The lobby is quite small but that's about all the criticism I could find By Manila standards the price to stay at the Mandarin Oriental is expensive, so you would expect the standard to be very good, and I was not disappointed. Anyone who has experienced staying at a Mandarin Oriental hotel would find the standard in Manila is equivalent to elsewhere - well sized room, quiet, well apppointed in every way; excellent hotel facilities and a first class fine dining restaurant. I'd have no hesitation staying there again (but nor would I hesitate to go back to the Peninsula, Shangri La or Dusit Thani)
Restaurant Tip : I had a meal at a fine dining restaurant and chose a menu with wines included - the total cost including taxes was around 4500 Pesos, so not cheap - but as good a food and wine experience as I have had anywhere in the world.

Good location, friendly and helpful staff, nice rooms. Disappointing breakfast, worse than other Mandarin Hotels in other cities. The Mandarin Oriental Manila is conveniently located in Makati area. You can walk to the main shopping areas and dining places. The hotel itself is nice but doesn't have the special touch you would expect from a luxury hotel. For instance, the breakfast was disappointing.
When going back to Manila we will try another hotel.
Restaurant Tip : Try the nearby Sala restaurant. Lovely!

Any time you are in the Philippines beware of taxi fee rip-offs. Require that the taxi have a metered fare. First ask a local what a normal fare should be to get to your destination.

Awesome service, great staff, great room A little bit on the pricy side but well worth the $ The staff @ this location were execellent in attending to our needs from the minute we arrived at the hotel. The entire staff treated us and other guests with the most upscale attitude that one can ask for. This has been one of the best hotels that I've stayed at worldwide.
Shopping Tip : Green belt and other malls are not that far away. Take a taxi would be more suitable than walking due to the climate

Guests might also want to try the Deli - yummy cakes, and a great place for a a quiet meal or snack. The salon is also fine.

The service in the M.O. is excellent. Everyone acknowledges you with a smile. This trip I had a problem with a leak in the bathroom. My room was changed without an issue.
Nightlife Tip : Can easily walk to P Burgos.

Would definitely stay here again. Truly a five-star hotel.
Shopping Tip : The Glorietta Mall is just a short five-minutes or less taxi ride away or a nice 10-15 minute walk will get you there.

It is located in the heart of Makati, the access to the local mall is good GURORIETTA. Security was also relieved. No problem even with clean water around the room. Upon check-in, if not already in the room make the room type requested at time of reservation, the request changes to a different room and booking. Declined, instructing them to wait a significant amount of room available for booking. And can not be provided to facilitate the booking room, where customers request a change to a first-class hotel and it's never easy, however. Location, equipment that is unfortunately the problem of low-level employees.
Nightlife Tip : The hotel is located near where the pub for the Japanese.

Wide space, and was very comfortable and impressive array of amenities. Unfortunately the staff had to deal with the Japanese. They also respond to requests properly, a good寝心地the bed very comfortable and good. Especially loved the pillows. We also believe that泊MARITAI hotel.
Travel tip : The SPA of the hotel was available, was quite relaxed.
