Modern, spacious, comfortable room
Pros:

The bed was big and comfortable, and the room was very spacious, with lots of surfaces for placing belongings. The staff were always available and were generally quite helpful. Others have commented on breakfast being too sparse but I thought there were plenty of options, with several Filipino meat dishes and made-to-order eggs. There was Easter candy for me in the room when I arrived, which was a nice touch. There were lots of options nearby for food, drink, and massage. I would stay again.

Cons:

There was no fresh fruit at breakfast (despite its being mango season), which I was very sad about.
Noise can travel a bit from nearby rooms if people forget to close the doors softly and keep their voices down late at night.
Location is a bit far from main attractions in town (including Intramuros and Makati) if you are hoping to walk (which I usually do, but it was too hot).

Amazing hotel. Recommended.
Pros:

Friendly staffs. Near Compass Training Center which was the reason for my stay.

Some kind of bugs was in my room (flying type) on the last night of my stay there. Other than that all was good.

Great stay and absolutely booking again anytime we are in that area.
Pros:

Honestly it checks all the boxes for us.. private parking, clean room, clean bathroom, quiet, great AC, hot water, great water pressure and bath setup, plus overall spacious and comfortable room. Staff was friendly and helpful and facilities appear pretty new.

Cons:

Nothing honestly.., we got confused on the elevator set up as one side is for residents but that was it.

Si può fare di più
Pros:

Posizionato a Malate, quartiere con discreta vita notturna (per chi è interessato), è buon compromesso per non essere troppo lontano dall'aeroporto. I dintorni sono ricchi di bar, ristoranti, karaoke, etc. Hotel moderno, pulito, staff disponibile.

Cons:

La mia stanza, malgrado fosse al 19 piano, era incredibilmente rumorosa: ferrovia e karaoke tutta la notte. Impossibile riposare. La colazione veramente povera per un albergo di queste pretese.
