Change for the better
I had been staying at another hotel not far away, and as a result of total dissatisfaction with the other one decided to move to the St. Giles Hotel. It was the right decision. From the friendly greetings from staff in the lobby and elsewhere throughout my stay to the clean, fresh room with a good view to the good food, everything was geared to a relaxing stay.
The location is good, but suffers a little from being on an awkward junction on Makati Avenue. Getting a taxi was sometimes a problem, but the staff were ever eager to get one for me in the shortest possible time!
In summary, a well-run hotel with staff wanting to make your stay as rewarding as possible. Certainly, I will stay there again on my next trip.
