I read some reviews criticizing d state of d hotel, but dat sounds really unfair to me, coz M.O. is priced much less than other 5 star Makati hotels, n is by far d best value for money hotel in Manila esp if U get d special offer at asiatravel.com. D rooms are clearly furnished from around maybe 15 yrs... more

I recently stayed at the Mandrin Makati for three nights on business. This was my first stay at this hotel, in the past I have usually stayed at the Pennensula down the street. My review echos most of the previous reviews that I have read prior to arriving. I wondered why so many reviews pointed out that the rooms were... more

This hotel is in a desperate need of a renovation. The rooms are simple, and show of quite old age. There are stains on the carpet, the furniture shows of age, and the bathroom is worse than some of the 3* I've been to - stains and mouldy corners everywhere. They did renovate some of the restaurants though, and the... more

managed to get a good discount through Asiatravel.com. was happy that the staffs allowed us to check in immediately in the early morning.Also, were happy that they upgraded us to a Business Room (instead of Superior Room). Basically, room itself & bathroom was rather spacious, nothing much to complain(though some of the amenities are tired and need refurbishment) as it... more

The service at this hotel was truly exceptional, attentive enough without being annoying, efficient and thoughtful. Unfortunately the rooms themselves are in desperate need of refurbishment. While the room I stayed in was clean and the housekeeping service was adequate, the decor is dated, fabrics faded and furniture chipped. Not really the level you'd expect from a five star hotel.... more

Excellent service. The staff nearly tripped over themselves to be gracious. Had a club room so had complimentary breakfast and cocktail/snacks in the club lounge. Almost didn't need to go out and eat. Free Wi-Fi in club rooms as well. Got free fruit in the rooms at night, turn down service, fully stocked, huge bathrooms. You name it, it was... more

I was expecting much more for a Mandarin Oriental Hotel. It is a fine 5 star hotel but rather tired in many ways. I am sure the hotel has its good days probably 10 years back but now, it does really need a full refurbishment to maintain as a luxury 5 star hotel. I was quite amazed when I step... more

Stayed with my hubby and my one year old son, service was very personal we stayed at the club room. I could not fault the staff but the room needs renovating and their bathroom as well. I would definitely stay there again, shopping malls is really near love the food, breakfast is filling and rate is reasonable. Overall they are... more

The MO Manila is a fine hotel, as long as you are not paying what you would at the Shangi La or Pennisula. It was probably a lovely place when it opened in 1975 or whenever it opened. Now, the lobby is a bit small, the layout strange, the hotel not next to (but near) the shopping malls of Greenbelt... more
