Condo unit Overview
First Impressions
The Condo unit isn’t your typical hotel — it’s actually more like staying in someone’s well-appointed city apartment, which honestly makes the whole experience feel more authentic. Located right in the heart of Makati, this four-star property sits in what locals consider the absolute best part of Manila, and I can see why it earned that impressive 9.8 location score. You’re basically in the middle of everything that matters in the city. The neighborhood pulses with energy and offers endless options for dining, shopping, and entertainment.
The Space
What struck me most about the room was how it felt like a proper living space rather than just a place to crash. The setup is smart — you get the privacy and comfort of your own place but with hotel-style service when you need it. The layout actually works well for couples, which explains why so many pairs end up rating this place so highly. There’s enough space to spread out without feeling cramped, and the thoughtful design makes every corner functional and inviting.
Location Perks
Being in Makati means you’re walking distance from the city’s best shopping, dining, and business districts — I mean, this is where Manila really comes alive. The Ayala Center is practically next door, and you’ll find yourself just strolling to places instead of dealing with Manila’s notorious traffic. What’s nice is that despite being in such a central spot, the building itself feels relatively quiet and removed from the street-level chaos that can overwhelm first-time visitors to the city. This balance between accessibility and tranquility is genuinely rare.
Practical Considerations
The kitchen setup is actually pretty functional if you want to grab groceries from one of the nearby markets and prepare simple meals — something that can save you money and give you a break from eating out constantly. Parking is available, though honestly, in this location you might not even need a car. The building management keeps things running smoothly, and I found the staff responsive when I had questions about the area or needed recommendations. These practical amenities make extended stays particularly comfortable.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it gives you the best of both worlds — the independence of having your own space combined with being in Manila’s most happening neighborhood. Couples especially seem to appreciate the privacy and the romantic vibe of having a proper place to themselves rather than just a standard hotel room. The 8.6 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting excellent value in a prime location, plus that homey feeling that’s hard to find in traditional hotels. It’s the kind of place where you can actually picture yourself living for a while, not just passing through. Guests consistently praise the authentic experience and welcoming atmosphere.

Reviews of Condo unit
Good – Stanislav from Slovakia – April 6, 2025 (7/10)
Skoro vsetko
What could be improved: No luggage storageAccessible location, the property is neat and clean. Highly recommended – April from Philippines – January 16, 2025 (9/10)
Accessible location.
Great Experience with a Flexible and Accommodating Owner – Rodney from Philippines – December 12, 2024 (10/10)
I like everything, especially that the owner is flexible and not strict about the number of tenants using her unit.
What could be improved: We are unable to use the Smart TV as it keeps showing "no internet connection," even though it is already connected to the internet. This aspect needs improvement. Nevertheless, I gave a high review rating because I am overall satisfied, and I believe it deserves that rating.Exceptional – Rosa from Philippines – November 30, 2024 (10/10)
Wonderful – Krizza from United Kingdom – July 16, 2024 (9/10)
Host is very accomodating,communication is really good. The unit is clean
It’s only a 1 bedroom not 2 bedroom. Advert is not accurate – Nicole from Australia – June 30, 2024 (2/10)
Wifi is fast
Issues wt YouTube n Netflix, once they fix time n date, fine
Washing machine
What could be improved: – 2bedroom is a LIE, it’s a 1bedroom apartment (we booked for 4x ppl believing it was 2bedroom)
– Sofa bed is very small in ‘living room’ which is a small living area
– Photos of a two different bedroom is a lie, it’s same bedroom but with different bed coverings and photo angle
– It’s on level 9 apartment (room 903, tower B)
– Major construction of building opposite so it’s loud
– View outside is poor (leave the curtain close) due to co construction
– Description of bedroom 1, bedroom 2, separate living area IS A complete lie (FRAUD)
– Only offered to give refund once complaint was made to Booking.com and they stepped in and made contact with them
– If ad was honest and stayed 1bedoom wt sofa bed in living area, it would have been fineVery Good – Austria from Philippines – June 18, 2024 (8/10)
Room 4312, is a nice and comfortable place to stay. Also has a good luck charm for those who are taking their exams (NCLEX or English Exam). I stayed here and I passed the NCLEX. Recommendable for all of you guys.!

Very accomodating ang hosts. They have granted all pur requests during our stay. Thank you!
What could be improved: The booking I have made was for 2 bedroom unit. We ended up in a 1br unit due to technical error sa booking.com according sa hosts. All good though cause the hosts gave us extra bed to use for free.
