InterContinental Manila Hotel Manila

Halloween at the Intercontinental Makati - 2008Guest Rating: 5.0

I was very impressed with my second stay at this hotel during the end of October, 2008. The hotel is first class, clean, comfortable and has impressive amenities. The pool is wonderful at this hotel, nice gym, great food. The Intercontinental Lounge facility on the top floor is an impressive amenity. They provide a breakfast, snacks and drinks throughout the day, and a nice cocktail hour in the evening. Wifi is available in addition to several internet stations. This lounge provides a first class venue to meet with guests or business associates as well as a spectacular view of the Makati/Manila skyline. Also impressive to me are the helpful, friendly, professional staff, from the front desk to the room attendants. I was very pleased with my stay there and will be back again.

This is a first class hotel in a wonderful location, great food, fabulous amenities and very good value for the money.

This was my second stay at the Intercontinental Makati and I cannot think of anything negative to say about my visit there.

• Hotel Feature Tip : I would recommend an upgrade to one of the Intercontinental Club floors which includes the use of the Intercontinental Club Lounge feature. This upgrade is an excellent value for the money for either the business or liesure traveller. Enjoy!

The hotel, from check-in to check-out was a pleasure. The staff were helpful and very cheerful. We were looked after in the restaurant, coffee shop and bar and made to feel very welcome. I travel to the Philippines 2 or 3 times a year and this was my first visit to the Intercontinental but I will return here for my next trip.

The hotel is in a central location near to shops and has good access to taxis to get around Makati and Manila.

No cons on this trip everything about the trip went smoothly, the hotel was very good.

Overall the hotel was very nice and the staff were very pleasant. Food was good at the hotel restaurants, the pool is very nice. I came from the US and needed a transformer for my laptop. There was none available. I was able to use the wi-fi in the 14th floor lounge but eventually my laptop battery died. So then I had to use the available internet stations there in the lounge but the connection was very slow and the system kept freezing. So, I was unable to follow up on important business transactions at the hotel because it did not have the necessary support in place. Second item was that my room was next to the elevator bank. I did not realize how noisy this was until I was woken up at about 2:00 a.m. due to the noise of the elevators going up and down. My recommendation for the hotel is to always keep one transformer in the 14th floor lounge area. That way if there are more customers than transformers, (there was a large group of Americans in the hotel), the guest can charge their laptop battery at the lounge area while working. Second recommendation would be to inform the guest upon check in that their room is next to the elevator bank and they will have some noise. This will give the guest an opportunity to decline that room in advance as the noise is not so noticeable until the late night hours.

Excellent location next to Glorietta Mall, very nice swimming pool.

Did not have a transformer for 220-110 conversion available. Room was next to elevators and so was noisy.

• Hotel Feature Tip : Be sure to block out an hour or two to spend at the hotel pool. Wonderful!
