Hotels near Confucius Institute at the Ateneo de Manila University in Makati

Last minute booking made st Red Planet after finding out that they actually have an available parking space. The hotel provides basic amenities such as a very comfortable white comforter with decent size rooms. Not much to do at the hotel as they do not offer other services. Food can be brought outside and bring in to the room, but there is a Sports Bar by the reception entrance which offers food options, drinks and entertainment. The hotel is also just walks away from the sprawling bars and restaurants in Poblacion,the new and booming trendy spot these days.

The hotel has a very nice location in Makati, surrounded by many very good restaurants and cafes, is very quite at night so you can get a good night of sleep, the staff is very friendly and helpful with anything I asked from them! Room is very spacious and most important very clean! Is definitely worth booking with them if planning to stay in the city for few days. About makati is a very safe area and is also easy to get from there to Intramuros or binondo, taxi or grab would be between 300 and 400 peso. You are on a walking distance (15 minutes or less) from Poblacion which is the club and bar area. Highly recommend this place!

It was easy to locate the Residence and it feels like home. I enjoyed my stay overall. and I will definitely recommend to others Work a bit more on the payment system for gaining access to the pool. I had to wait for about 30mins just to pay a fee

Hotel is having maintenance/renovation, very noisy. When they started magigising kana talaga and cannot sleep again. Im also annoyed with 1 male receptionist, open pala sa counter nya, i queued sa kabilang counter, and when other guest arrived (foreigner) he asissted. Like ***? Matagal bumaba ang water sa shower area, not safe since I’m pregnant. But overall still good. I will book again and recommend since the location is good. And most of the staffs are very nice and friendly. Hotel is clean. They allowed to check in at around 12.

We stayed at a Mini Double Room. The hotel was located at the heart of Makati and there are a lot of restaurants and cafes nearby. I love how the Front Desk allowed us to check in 15 mins earlier the 12:00 noon. The room was actually good for 2 people. It was clean, air condition was working, free bottled water, clean towels with toiletries, fresh bed sheets and pillows. The Front Desk also immediately provided kettle when I asked for one free of charge. Upon check out, the Front Desk made sure we didn’t left anything. The housekeeping also returned some items I left inside the room. There are only 2 things I want to point out that needs to be improved. 1. Pools closed every Monday in which we were not informed and not on the Trip website (we were able to use it Tuesday morning). 2. The room provided to us is not a City view contrary to my check in voucher. Unlike the other reviews here, I can say that I will recommend checking in at this hotel.

This hotel stands out as the ultimate choice for travelers seeking seamless access to the airport. Its unparalleled convenience, with just a brief 15-minute stroll to reach the terminals, sets it apart as the prime accommodation for those with flight schedules to meet. While I didn't indulge in the breakfast offerings or take advantage of the pool facilities, the room itself exuded cleanliness and comfort without any qualms. Such a remarkable stay leaves me pondering that even if proximity to the airport weren't a factor, I'd still strongly contemplate returning to this exceptional establishment.

During my recent 3-day, 2-night stay at Swiss-Belhotel Blulane in Manila, the overall experience left much to be desired. While the hotel had potential, the importance of providing quality service to guests seemed inconsistent. Firstly, there was a noticeable discrepancy in the service provided by the on-the-job trainees. While some displayed genuine warmth and eagerness to assist, others seemed hesitant, particularly when they perceived that a guest might not offer a tip. This attitude detracted from the overall guest experience and contradicted the essence of hospitality, which should prioritize genuine care and assistance regardless of gratuity. Additionally, the functionality of the elevators was a significant inconvenience. With only one elevator in operation, guests frequently experienced delays and overcrowding, resulting in frustration and inconvenience. This issue significantly impacted the efficiency of guest movement within the hotel and should be addressed promptly to enhance overall satisfaction. In conclusion, while this hotel in Manila has potential, there are notable areas for improvement, particularly in ensuring consistent and genuine guest service and addressing operational inefficiencies such as elevator functionality. By instilling in all staff members, including trainees, a genuine commitment to hospitality and service excellence, the hotel can elevate the overall guest experience and distinguish itself as a premier destination for travelers.

My wife, 7-year-old daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 11 nights from 3 to 14 December 2023. Pros This is a very new hotel, having just officially opened in November 2023. Prior to this, it underwent a “soft opening” for a year. Being a Novotel Suites, the hotel room is spacious, complete with a small living room area with a couch and table, along with a small kitchenette with microwave. There is a king-sized bed with a TV. We had a view of the Pasig River, and of Makati City Hall on the other side. Airconditioning was strong and cold, unlike the air-conditioning we’ve experienced in glitzier hotels such as New World Hotel or SEDA Hotel in BGC. The bathroom adopts an open plan, whereby it has no door. There are two sinks and mirrors, and the toilet and shower are in separate cubicles. Being in the Philippines, the toilet thankfully has a bidet. This setup is therefore less than ideal for non-families or non-couples as the bathroom provides no privacy when you step out of the shower or toilet cubicles. The trash can is placed inside the toilet cubicle, but we found it more practical to have it beside the sinks as the only other trash can is under the study table beside the window on the other side of the room. Dental and vanity kits are provided daily, although housekeeping was inconsistent with providing vanity kits. I always search for vanity kits as I need the cotton buds that are part of the kits. I will discuss the housekeeping service later under cons. The hotel is well-located: while technically in Mandaluyong City, it is very close to Rockwell Makati thanks to the new Estrella bridge. The hotel is part of a condominium development by Century in a subdivision-like area named Acqua. When meeting up with people, Power Plant Mall was much more convenient than Ortigas, Mandaluyong malls such as Megamall or Shangri-La Mall. Power Plant is only a 10-minute drive, while the Ortigas malls were around 30 minutes away. The hotel has easy access to EDSA. Non-Filipino tourists, however, should not expect glitzy surroundings similar to hotels in Bonifacio Global City, Makati City hotels along Ayala Avenue, or Ortigas hotels. The approach to the hotel requires driving through small alleyways and a two-lane road along the Pasig River. These streets are nevertheless well-lit, clean and safe, with a police car constantly stationed near the Hulo Ferry Station and people out and about even in the wee hours of the morning. We found the less than chic surroundings to be a positive, as this enables access to cheap yet reliable services that would otherwise not be as easily accessible from the glitzier hotels of the metro. For instance, a laundry service just steps away from the Acqua subdivision was extremely convenient and affordable. For little more than the price of laundering two articles of clothing at Novotel (PHP 125 for up to 8 kilos plus the cost of detergent and fabric softener sachets), we could have 8 kilos of clothes washed and delive

There are not enough words to describe the excellence that this hotel offers its guests! From the moment you walk in, you feel so welcome, specially at the lobby lounge bar special mentioned to Dome he welcomed us with genuine smile he is the one assist on us during that night, He did a good job from suggesting the food and also thier drinks from their bartender Arjo everything is perfect, It was very comfortable and convenient. Perfect for our time for relaxation and with some business in the process. It was at the center of everything. We will definitely return.
