Hotels near City Gate, Makati

Except for the hotel transfer which was a catastrophe, we can recommend this hotel. We were staying in a room with a separate bed and living room. We almost did not go outside for lunch and dinner. Mistro on the 35th floor offered superb views and nice dishes except few we did not really like (maybe different taste). The staff, starting from cleaning ladies to the waitresses and managers are friendly and really caring about their services. We can recommend this hotel compared to Hilton where we had bad experiences and Seda Residence is offering more value than Hilton.

Our room was spacious, well-maintained and clean. Linens and beds were comfortable. With my kids and senior parents around, I found it easy to move around the hotel premises. Lightings and air ventilation were adequate too. Hotel staff were prompt, efficient and helpful. Overall, the hotel provided an excellent experience tailored to families with senior and small kids. 10/10

Second time booking here and I just found out that we can request pans and cookware from the housekeeping. They even provided dish soap and sponge upon request. Good hotel location and amenities. Room was clean and with a good view from outside. Hubs and I enjoyed our staycation because we were able to prep meal inside the room. I also appreciate that they are now providing mats inside the room because that was my comment before. One pointer why I did not give perfect rating is because special request for complimentary birthday cake was not provided. While special requests are subject to the hotel, my boyfriend tried to explain the situation but sadly, it was not provided.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Makati Diamond Residences, and I can't express enough how exceptional my experience was. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome, providing top-notch service throughout my stay. The rooms are spacious, luxurious, and impeccably clean, offering a perfect blend of comfort and style. The amenities at this property are simply outstanding. The gym is well-equipped, and the pool area is an oasis of relaxation. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which offered a wide variety of delicious options catering to every palate. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Makati, making it convenient to explore the city. What truly sets Makati Diamond Residences apart is their attention to detail and commitment to making guests feel at home. Every aspect of my stay exceeded expectations, and I left feeling refreshed and eager to return. I highly recommend Makati Diamond Residences to anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable stay in Manila. Five stars, without a doubt!

My first trip to MNL loved the central location with greenery around, the staff all went out of their way to please us. Minor issues with tv remote control were quickly resolved. My only side comment is that the property could do more for the environment by: putting some solar panels on the roof, filtering the chimney smoke coming out, on roof. Also in this day and age plastic pet bottles could easily be replace by local glass bottles and a small sign in the room asking guests to place towels in bathtub in case they shoul be laundered is something we all appreciate - our towels were changed daily- I forgot to make a sign for housekeeping team! But overall wonderful experience your lobby is fabulous and what a vibe anytime congratulations ! We will be back certainly! Robert & Busaba from Phuket.

This is my first time to stay in New World Hotel and all I can say is that it’s perfect if you have plans to go around Greenbelt and Glorietta. Greebelt 3 is literally just a street away. Room amenities are a bit dated, and you can see that the one mirror is already dirty but all in all it did not affect the quality of my stay. Bed is great, room is spacious and the staff are all kind, welcoming and always greets you with a smile.

We had an excellent stay. Other than a slight hiccup in the coffee served, everything was perfect at the Horizon lounge; foods were all fresh and yummy. Check in staff were very accommodating. All staff right from the hotel lobby up to the room floor and club lounge were smiling eagerly offering assistance. Deluxe Suite was scot-free as it looked newly renovated. My wife delightfully enjoyed the L’ocitane toiletries. Really worth every penny paid in this staycation before 2023 ends. Looking forward to booking a stay again in a Shangrila hotel.

Don't let the outside and reception foul you! Building doesn't look that well from the outside and the reception is small and very appealing. But the rooms are spacious, clean and well equipped. Nice pool and good fitness, but cherry on the pie is the free Onsen! When you check in you need to leave a deposit, all fine, but if you charge it to your credit card, you have to wait a couple of weeks to receive the money back!? You can oppt for the cash option, as I did, but when you check out it is a long paperwork. Not very convenient If you have to catch a plane. And we are living in 2024, should be much easier to solve.

I went for business meetings and my stay for 4 days at Dusit Thani was good. They have nice large rooms and great restaurants within the hotel. I tried the Thai restaurant and the Japanese restaurant. Both are good. I like the location of the hotel since it’s connected to EDSA so easy for taxi to/from NAIA and also easier to go BGC. Main advantage is that I don’t have to navigate traffic within Makati

Y2 Residence is a bit along Makati Avenue (about 2.5 kms from Greenbelt Malls area) and around the corner from Century City Mall. There are numerous small restaurants within easy walking distance along Makati Ave and surrounds. We stayed two nights at Y2 Residence Hotel on our way from Palawan and prior to departing the Philippines and wish we had found it earlier. On arrival were were immediately made feel welcome , met on the road and our bags taken and carried in for us. (We had stayed in a number of places in the Philippines on this trip and our previous far more expensive where this did not occur). Check in was seamless, Y2 offers an online check in however we prefer face to face. Our room a One Bedroom Deluxe Suite on the ninth flooor, while not large was easily spacious enough for the two of us. A two seater lounge, a single chair with coffee table. A small dining table and a kitchenette large enough to cook in if you wanted. The bedroom was small with one bedside table on one side wih a cupboard with safe on the other. But really what more was needed. The bathroom is small (narrow) however had everything in it including an intantatious hot water system that provided hot water quickly. Even though we faced the main entrance and a building site was adjacent to us we were not disturbed by noise. However this may change as building increases. The view from the rooftop pool and bar area are worth the extremely slow lift up and down then walk up the flight of stairs, particularly as one lift was out of service while we were there making it even slower to get to any floor/ foyer. The lift was the most frustrating thing with our stay. The pool area and surrounds are not large and would if busy you would be lucky to find somewhere to sit, however while we were there we had not problems with this. As stated the view across the city is spectacular, take a few minutes to soak it in. Pros Excellent value for money Very good service, particularly the young trainees. Clean and comfortable room Rooftop bar and pool area with amazing views. Close to some incredibly food Good breakfast Cons Very slow lift system
