Novotel Hotel Manila Residences by MADR Excellence

Novotel Hotel Manila Residences by MADR Excellence Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Novotel Hotel Manila Residences by MADR Excellence? It’s tucked away on Coronado Street in this relatively quiet corner of Mandaluyong, but somehow you’re still incredibly close to everything that matters in Manila. I mean, when you first pull up, it doesn’t scream “look at me” like some of the flashier places – it’s more understated, which honestly works in its favor.

The whole setup is interesting because it’s part of the Acqua complex, so you’re getting this four-star hotel experience that feels more like a high-end residential building than your typical tourist trap. The lobby has this clean, modern vibe without being cold, and I actually appreciated that it wasn’t packed with tour groups when I was there. Check-in was smooth – none of that awkward waiting around while they “find your reservation.” What really sold me on the place was stepping into the room and realizing they weren’t kidding about the residential concept. The space feels lived-in but luxurious, with a proper kitchenette that you’d actually use (not just a sad mini-fridge situation). The windows are floor-to-ceiling, and depending on which side you’re on, you get these surprisingly decent city views that stretch toward Makati’s skyline.

Here’s the thing about staying in Mandaluyong – people overlook it because they think they need to be right in Makati or BGC, but you’re literally minutes away from major shopping centers and business districts without paying those premium rates. The Ortigas area is right there, EDSA’s accessible when you need it (though let’s be real, traffic is traffic), and you’ve got The Podium and other malls within easy reach. I noticed the hotel staff actually knows the area well – they’ll give you real directions, not just point vaguely toward the nearest tourist spot. The building itself stays pretty quiet, even on weekends, which I wasn’t expecting given how central everything is. Parking was straightforward too, which anyone who’s driven in Manila will tell you is half the battle. The pool area up top gives you this nice break from the city chaos below, and while it’s not massive, it’s got that infinity edge thing going on that makes for decent photos. Honestly, with a 9.5 rating, I went in expecting maybe some inflated expectations, but the place delivers on the details that actually matter when you’re trying to get work done or just decompress after dealing with Manila’s intensity all day.

• Exceptional – Amira from United Arab Emirates – March 29, 2025 (10/10)

  I was struck by the cleanliness and modernity of the room. Not only was it impeccably maintained, but the fantastic view truly made my stay unforgettable. It was a joy to wake up to such scenery in the morning. The location is good near the malls and its like 20 mins away from the airport.
  The amenities you provide greatly enhanced my overall experience. Whether it was the well-equipped fitness center or the inviting lounge area, every aspect made my stay more enjoyable. The room is also equipped with kitchen appliances, great for long stay. I want to highlight the customer service as well, it was superb. Especially I want to thank you for accommodating my early check-in request. It was a thoughtful gesture that really smoothed my arrival, making the beginning of my stay seamless.
  I will certainly recommend your property to my friends and family.
