M&B Staycation

M&B Staycation Overview

First Impressions

Walking into M&B Staycation feels like discovering a well-kept secret in the heart of Makati. The property sits within Red Residences on Chino Roces Avenue, and honestly, the location immediately caught my attention — you’re right in one of Manila’s most sought-after neighborhoods without the chaos that usually comes with it. This four-star spot has that polished, upscale vibe that makes you feel like you’ve made a smart choice, but it’s not trying too hard to impress you with flashy lobbies or over-the-top decor.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this area — Chino Roces puts you within easy reach of Makati’s business district, but you’re actually in a more residential pocket that feels calmer than the main commercial strips. You know what’s great? Couples absolutely rave about this location, giving it a 9.0 rating, and I can see why. There are plenty of local restaurants within walking distance, and you’re close enough to the action but far enough away to actually get some sleep. The fact that there’s on-site parking is honestly a huge relief — anyone who’s tried to find parking in Manila knows this is worth its weight in gold.

The Accommodation Experience

The rooms at M&B Staycation strike that perfect balance between homey and refined. Since it’s positioned as a “staycation” property, they’ve clearly thought about what makes people comfortable for longer stays — well, even just a weekend feels more relaxed here. The spaces are thoughtfully designed with modern touches, and I appreciated the attention to details that actually matter, like good lighting and functional layouts. You get that residential apartment feel but with hotel-quality service and amenities backing it up.

What Sets It Apart

What really impressed me was how this place manages to feel both professional and personal. The staff genuinely seems to care about your experience, and there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like a cookie-cutter hotel chain. The building itself — Red Residences — is well-maintained and has that contemporary Manila architecture that works really well. I mean, you’re getting the benefits of a residential-style setup with the reliability of a proper hotel operation, which is actually harder to find than you’d think.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.3 rating speaks for itself, but what really stands out is that excellent 9.0 location score — and trust me, in a city like Manila, location can make or break your entire stay. Guests consistently mention feeling like they’re staying in a real neighborhood rather than a tourist bubble, which gives you a more authentic sense of the city. The combination of being in Makati’s top-rated area while still having that residential comfort and the convenience of on-site parking creates this sweet spot that’s particularly appealing for couples and business travelers who want something a bit more sophisticated than your average hotel experience.

Reviews of M&B Staycation

• Very Good – Hanne from Belgium – July 26, 2025 (8/10)

  Gezellig appartementje in een goede buurt. De bewaker aan de ingang was vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
  
  What could be improved: De eigenaar antwoordde niet altijd even snel en we kregen maar één handdoek voor twee personen. Toegang tot het zwembad zit niet bij in de prijs.

• Great apartment, really comfortable – David from United Kingdom – July 25, 2025 (9/10)

  Just a great apartment
  Great use of space.
  Fabulous balcony
  
  What could be improved: At arrival, late at night, the security guard was power hungry. All the correct documentation, emails, Wi-Fi code, door entry code, approval of stay, guest authorisation form but this guard would allow access for nearly 30 minutes of a long discussion exceeding his power
  
  Very painful after two days of travelling

• Good value – Ed from United Kingdom – June 23, 2025 (9/10)

  It is a good location and nice view from balcony on the night, with bar stools and table. Facilities okay but…
  
  What could be improved: Late night guards wanted an extra piece of paper before letting me go upto the room upon arriving, even though I had the code for the door already and showed them everything.
  Swimming pool cost is a bit expensive compared to other places, and finally only visit the gym after normal working hours with no guard, as the day guard says its policy for guests to be staying for at least 30 days to be able to use the gym.

• Bad – Pieter from Netherlands – June 14, 2025 (1/10)

  Nothing
  
  What could be improved: It was a non refundable booking. The owner urged me to cancel it, I didn't. They said they already had someone else for the apartment. The said they would refund my booking, they didn't.
  Take care everyone. It's a scam!

• Exceptional – Alvin from Belgium – June 10, 2025 (10/10)

  The accommodation is clean and i like the location area. It's safe and near to shopping. centers. I appreciate the effort and warm welcome us by the owner. It's like a home away from home.

• The view from halfway down. – Guya from Philippines – June 7, 2025 (8/10)

  i liked how the room had the convenience. it had utensils and everything was accessible.
  
  What could be improved: the pool policy because we are only 4 but 2 people are only allowed. we were not aware of that policy.

• Exceptional – Greece from Singapore – May 30, 2025 (10/10)

  Amenities like, rice cooker, refrigerator, microwave, induction cooker, utensils, washing machine
  
  What could be improved: swimming pool with fee that disappoint me,

• Great place to stay in Makati! – Artsolo from United Kingdom – May 13, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment is very practical and well-designed. It had everything we needed for a good self-sufficient staycation! I especially loved the inclusion of a fridge, cooking appliances, washing machine, and even a karaoke machine in the amenities!
  
  What could be improved: The washing machine's drain wasn't plugged into the wall, so when water started coming out of it onto the floor, it caught me by surprise. However, there's a sinkhole on the floor in the bathroom, so the water drained quite quickly.

• Exceptional – Markdj13 from Philippines – April 21, 2025 (10/10)

  Complete amenities

• Good – Macarayan from Philippines – April 16, 2025 (7/10)
