Apartments in Manila

"As Manila is far from being a beautiful city, we decided to find a nice hotel. The district is not the best but the hotel is nice, Deluxe rooms are veeery big and comfortable, we enjoyed it enormously, we also enjoyed the swimming pool. Internet is a bit expensive and not very practical, as you have to pay for every device or use one at a time. For the facilities and the comfort, I would say this hotel is more 4-star than 3-star. The staff is nice but not very practical, everyone has to wait until 2 PM to check-in, so at that time the hotel is full of people, even families with children have to wait until that time. Things would be much better if all the burocracy is completed on your arrival and you are given the key at 2 PM instead of waiting until 2PM to start the whole process."

"I am a hotel supplies supplier for Sofitel and Manila Hotel who has travelled extensively for business and leisure and staying regularly at IHG, JW Marriot of HK, Shangri la Hotels and Sofitel Hotels among others, I could say that Aruga by Rockwell never fails to impress! It's room amenities though not luxury is of superior quality than most five stars. The kitchen is well-equipped, there are two tv sets...staff is attentive...location is superb...what more can a busy traveler ask for?"

"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. "

"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 Filipina girlfriend and I decided to book 6days in the Regency Grand Suite and hoped it would be perfect for my last weeks stay in the Philippines. We were NOT dissappointed! We were greeted by the friendlest receptionist called Joseph who did everything for us from check us in to fixing the WIFI connection :) from there the stay in the hotel just got better. The location is perfect if you want to be central to Malate and it's right next to the mall. We stayed on the 32nd floor so obviously it was very quiet if you wanted to get away from the nightlife. The gym and the pool (very cold water ha) were great perfect to sit beside and relax. There are plenty of lovely Asian restaurants next to the hotel and the hotel is only short drive (100php) from Markati and the Fort. The room (a suite) was perfect it had plenty of power points (universal for 3pin plugs) a kitchen area with a microwave, kettle and fridge perfect for making snacks. The shower room was cozy and modern (don't forget to switch on the water heater) and after switching the water heater on the hot rain shower was wonderful. The view was magnificent from the 32nd floor balcony viewing out onto Manila bay and the cities beyond. The bed is huge but the space around the bed is limited but never the less its very cozy and perfect for me and my filipina girlfriend. The room also had a very modern flat screen TV with satelite channels such as HBO and PBO and other filipino channels. In short our stay in the Regency Grand Suites was wonderful and we shall most certainly be booking to stay here again on my next holiday. Special thanks to Joseph on reception who was amazing at getting us settled and was so attentive throughout our stay there. Many Thanks to all the team."

" Staying at Prince Plaza II is a relaxing experience. Rooms are equipped with amenities which make you feel you are home. In the room is a kitchen with the necessary kitchen utensils and dinnerware. If you don't feel like going out, you can prepare your own meal and fill up the small refrigerator with your favorite snacks and drinks. You can go shopping at the classy malls like the Greenbelt and Glorietta. Nearby department stores like SM and Landmark is just a stones throw away so you can just take a walk. You have a choice of dining places all around the place. Important place I frequent during my stay is a small chapel within the Greenbelt area. Name it and everything is accessible nearby. Everytime I take a vacation in my hometown Cebu City I always spend some days in Manila and stay at the Prince Plaza II to experience some relaxing time and enjoyment being at a very convenient and nice hotel. Price is affordable. I always encourage my friends to visit the Philippines and choose Prince Plaza for a great vacation."

"It was so nice at the end of the day to return to a quiet clean room with a very comfortable bad. The security and desk staff were very helpful in arranging taxis and helping with tour arrangements. I have stayed in about 5 other hotels in Manila, I will come back to this one."

"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."

"We booked here for a Deluxe Room with a Balcony and a Queen Bed. Upon check in, the girl in the front desk told us that the room we booked for was "DELUXE A" and it doesn't have a Balcony. We were very tired that day. And just to save us for an argument we settled for the room. Then we went upstairs and entered the room, you could definitely smell cigarette smoke. Then to my surprise, we have a Twin Bed. I was not in the mood for an argument. So yeah, we settled with a Deluxe Room with a twin Bed without the Balcony. I don't know who screwed up. I just checked now, their "DELUXE B" is the one with the TWIN Bed, so how come the lady gave us a "DELUXE A" with a twin bed? But someone should get it fixed to avoid further frustrations. Recommend? Yep! Will definitely book again, after booking, double check your booking with the hotel itself."
