Hotels in Malate, Manila

It was such a smooth and hassle-free booking experience. The process was quick, everything was clearly laid out, and I had no issues at all. However, the hotel itself was a bit old, so just keep that in mind. Overall, still satisfied and would book again through Trip.com!

Had a little hiccup before check-in cause i was supposed to wait in the lobby for my check in time but there were a lot of people in the lobby and i think they were filming a movie or something. It was a bit inconvenient but luckily there was a coffee place beside the hotel. Altho its not their fault cause i was the one who got there early but it would have been nice if they offered a place where waiting guests can lounge. The front desk was so kind to check me in a little bit earlier. The room was spacious and neat. Altho the A/C was so cold at 20 degrees but was able to manage. I was only able to explore other amenities in the hotel at night but i think it would have been fun and full of life during the day. The staff were so jolly and corteous, and was swift to cater my needs and requests, altho it wasnt that many. The security were so kind and i can say that they really do well with their job keeping the guests and the staff safe. A special thank you to K9 Handler Joven, Rey, Windel, Jeff, Jayson, Dinnes, and Sabando– who were always ready to open the door, quick to assist, and greet me and other guests. I felt really safe. I have booked a lot of hotels in manila and all of it were just subpar. My stay in Lyf Malate was the best so far and would come back the next time i have to be in manila. Thank you so much!

Location - few walks away from DLSU, St. Scholastica and Benilde. Also few walk away from LRT stations and Bus Stations so quite accessible. If your are foreign tourists, expect some noise and dirty manila surroundings when you go out of the hotel facility. Service - Staff and crew are very pleasant starting with the security guards and attendants upon the entering the hotel facility. The check in procedures are smooth and the receptionist during that time is very accommodating and nice. Facilities - The building is kinda ”old” and it is very evident with the elevators and the lobby. Upon entering the room, I noticed it was very clean and the CR is very clean and dry as well. However, you can really notice that everything is old although it can add ”charm” to the ambiance of the hotel because well, it can be like that. Other that that, everything is nice, the beds are big and the pillows and comforters were, well, seems clean naman. All rooms have their own balcony however, for security purposes, doors are locked but you have a good view pa din naman, which is sa room ko, the Manila skyline and the pool. I think the worst part lang is the smell of the room. Not stinky naman or whatever but I am not sure if because the building is old or whatever but there's really a weird smell na hindi nakaka ”clean” smell, not sure if coming from the old aircon or whatever. Yun lang ata ang downfall, the old vibe of the room is okay but the smell, hhmmm, not sure. There's a pool area as well and a jacuzzi, which I was able to try and it's really nice. Food - My stay came with a breakfast buffet. The restaurant is sooo nice, again, the old vibes kinda add with the ambiance. The staff are well trained as well so they're accommodating and pleasant. As for the food selection, I guess it's the normal food selection for a hotel. There's the usual morning breakfast, pastries, juices and all. With the price you paid, I think it's okay. In general, my stay was nice and I can really say that the biggest assets of hotels like CPH are their staff and crews because how they treat and accommodate their guests will have a great impact with the stay.

We were very happy with our stay.We booked a one bedroom suite and were luckily upgraded to one bedroom superior suite.The room was clean and spacious.

It's was a good stay for the amount. We might consider in the future again

The front desk staff is very accomodating. Hopefully the internet will improved and the availability of netflix 💕 So far i loved the place.

The staff were kind enough to let me leave my bags at the hotel even though the check-in time is still at 2PM because I explained that I had an event starting at 8AM. I have no negative comments but I was weirded out by my room having a door that connects to the room next door. It can be locked from the inside so that's a relief but I still had it blocked overnight using a chair just in case. Overall, it was a decent stay. Thank you for taking care of me, Orchid Garden Suites!

We enjoyed the amenities such as jacuzzi, infinity pool and the game room. The food is also tasteful

Yung room and service super okay. Ang problem dito eh yung parking nila, sobrang sikip sa basement. Pag SUV ang hirap na ipasok — may open parking naman kaso hindi mai-take risk kasi ang gusto eh iiwan ang car key sa parking attendant which is hindi okay at all. Sa parking lang talaga may problema dito, pero kung room and service pati food nila, super okay talaga.

When I arrived at the reception in Hotel Ava, I thought I need to show my booking confirmation. But the receptionist asked for my ID. I have a lot of baggage so it will be hard for me to find my ID. So I asked if I can show the picture of my ID. I understand that they don't allowed me. But the thing that I don't like is one of the receptionist on Oct. 31, 2024 around 10pm.. Said ”Walang booking booking dito”. I get irritated because they are not professional. Those ******** receptionists treat me as a scammer even I'm not. Luckily I find my ID after the rude comment from that guy. They are not friendly and not smiling to their guests. Not accomodating and ”mayabang”. But the staff who are assigned to give a pitcher of water are kind. I really appreciate their service.
