Planning a long stay in Philippines? Book Manila Serviced Apartments

"To start with the minor inconveniences. The shower in our room seemed to be pulled of the wall and the knob for changing between main- and handshower seemed to be stuck. Also watertemperture, even when running longer, changed from hot to cold and vice-versa often. In the hallway and the room there was a funny smell. What we really liked about the hotel was the location in the CBD of Makati. Super convenient. We chose this hotel primarily because of its location, but were surprised about the luxury look it had. Room felt like a condo, it had an own kitchen complete with flatware and cutlery. Many thanks to the very accommodating security staff Erwin. When looking for a hotel in Manila again this sure will be it. "

"we were a group of 4 and we wanted to stay in any hotel in manila for the long weekend. upon checking agoda, bsa offered the lowest rates for a 2br suite so we booked it right away. the suite looked really new. the suite wasn't that spacious as compared to fraser or somerset but we didn't really mind considering the price we paid. the room was equipped with all the basic amenities. room also came with free wi-fi but the connection was lost at around midnight. we had it checked and the connection was restored in the morning. the kitchen was also helpful as we were able to cook items we bought from the nearby supermarket. although the room was inexpensive, the hotel charged us extra for services that i believe are free in other hotels. there is an overnight parking charge of p150. this fee should already be waived if guests are checking in for the night. also, the hotel only provided 2 bath towels, considering that the room is meant for 4 people. when we ordered extra towels, the front desk mentioned that they were going to charge p35 for each extra towel. we were baffled by these extra charges. hopefully the management considers lifting these additional expenses, or at the very least, includes these charges in the upfront room rate."

"I have stayed here 3 or 4 times ... It is a wonderful hotel right across the street from Greenbelt Mall, which is also my favorite mall in Philippines with many good restaurants, bars and shops ... the staff is well-trained and friendly ... the hotel sparkles and the rooms are spacious with free mini bars ...I have stayed many times at Shangri La and several times at the Fairmont and Makati Diamond is by far the best value for upscale hotel in Manila... highly recommend"

"My wife and I had some business to do in Makati for a couple of days. We both loved our experience here. It felt like we were at at a 5 star hotel. The best hotel that I have stayed at so far in the Philippines. Nothing to complain about at all. It is so close to the Greenbelt area which we walked to and had our meals and went window shopping in the malls. We felt safe inside and outside of the hotel. I will be staying at the Somerset Millennium on our future stays in Manila for sure. We never got to use the pool area but next time we will. The breakfast is free and it's all you can eat with many choices."
