Good hotel, quite and only 5-10 minutes...
Good hotel, quite and only 5-10 minutes walk to Shangri-La Plaza and the largest Shoemart in Metro-Manila. So location for shoppers is very good. On Friday evening there is a good live band in front of Shangri-La Plaza and the pubs and restos outside stay open til late after the plaza has closed (9PM). It's not a very well-known location for taxi drivers as half of them don't know the hotel. Tell them the hotel is very close to the Medical Centre in Ortigas and they know where to go. Also traffic in front of the hotel is bad at peak hours.
The breakfast in the hotel is good, and changes every day, so you don't get bored with the menu if you stay longer than just a couple of days.
Service is good, staff let you feel welcome in this hotel. Check-in and check-out was quick and efficient
despite the fact that I wanted a non-smoking room instead of a smoking room (which was initially reserved for me).
Room is OK in size (standard)(was on the 21st floor), and have ammenities that you can expect from a 4 star hotel. The bathroom is smallish, but clean and fresh. There is a bathtub with a shower, no seperate shower.
Three elevators available so never had to wait long, as the elevators are fast, and between 4-11th floor it doesnt stop (because those are for office buildings with different entrance).
