Fabulous Poolside, but Some Basics are Badly Missing
Pros:

This hotel has a great reputation and in many ways it was exactly what we needed. It has an interesting history and when we were there the interior was beautifully set up for Christmas. I liked all the bells and whistles, and the pool staff are outstanding. The cocktails and the snacks which came with them at the pool were good value and delicious. They had nice magazines to read- shout out to Phillipines Vogue which I really enjoyed reading as I relaxed in the middle of stressful international travel. The range on the breakfast buffet was exciting, but see notes in in 'What you didn't like?'

Cons:

We arrived late in the evening after an international flight. We had booked and paid for three people yet when we got to the room the third bed was missing. It took us three phone calls over an hour and a half to get the third bed brought up, and that happened after midnight. My expectation at any hotel, whether it is upmarket like this or otherwise, is to get the beds for the people I paid for, set up before I arrive. This delay really did make us all miserable as we were desperate to sleep, and no one apologised for it.
The range on the buffet breakfast was good but the best things such as dumplings emptied quickly and were not restocked for long periods of time.
The pool food we ordered was barely adequate but overpriced (we didn't mind this so much as we more than made up for it with the cheap cocktails)
We did not enjoy the Spice Restaurant at all, and came away with a bill that was more expensive than the vast majority of our European meals - including some high end ones.

Peninsula spells holiday the moment you enter!
Pros:

The ambience at the lobby and the super helpful team at the reception who helped extend our stay by 3 hours based on our flight timing without extra cost. Thank you so much!!!

Cons:

To accommodate meal preferences of tourists who are not much into beef and pork if you can some more items that include chicken and fish at the lobby restaurant.

Pros:

The location mainly!

Cons:

The buffet's variety is pretty much limited! The fact is that this hotel has the potential to be much better; it is only standing due to its historical and fancy-looking aesthetics

Pros:

Location. Felt safe.

Cons:

It felt old, faded glory. Its needs a lot of updating. The staff are very friendly and very quick to apologise when they don't get something right ( it happens!) But not good at dealing with the issue and resolving it - experienced this in their restaurants, Housekeeping, communication centre.
