Hotel Manila's faded glory
Pros:

This iconic Manila hotel was a disappointment. The public areas are magnificent but the bedrooms' decoration is dark and the rooms need to be modernised. There are only light switches on one side of the bed and the rooms lack power points for mobil phones.
The buffet breakfast is splendid,excellent quality there are a variety of asian and western dishes, unfortunately the waiter service is not on the same par, very inattentive.
We requested a late check out and were offered 30 minutes, which is ridiculous. It's far better to say that a late check out is unavailable. The restaurants offer a 20% discount for hotel guests but if you have already checked out this promotion is not applicable.
The area surrounding the pool needs more maintenance and to be repainted.
To summarise the hotel needs a revamp and more staff training to restore it to it's former glory.

À fuir absolument
Pros:

L emplacement sinon rien

Cons:

Hôtel qui n a de 5 étoiles que le nom. Une usine à mariages et à groupes de touristes. La foule la queue partout et pour tout … pour l ascenseur jusqu au petit dej…
Nous avions réservé une nuit en suite terrasse, elle n était plus libre à notre arrivée, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans une « suite » dans la partie ancienne de l hôtel. Chambre sans double vitrage au dessus d un carrefour de la sortie du port avec tous les camions. Nous n avons pas fermé l œil. Personnel qui s en fiche. Hôtel vieillot sans charme.
