The Somerset Olympia is next door to the Penninsular Hotel and a 10 minute walk to the Greenbelt and Glorietta shopping areas. Very spacious rooms with a good size sitting area, kitchen/dining area and bedroom with a good amount of wardrobe space. I had been told in advance by friends that the Olympia was a bit shabby but it seems... more

I stayed here in Jan08 and then again May09 and had good experiences both times. Rooms were decent in size and clean (although a little dated). A/C blew cold and strong, bathrooms were great (clean with running hot water). Staff was exceptional! My only complaint is that taxis have to go around the block to the back entrance, but if... more

I wasn't able to use any of the facilities nor did I have breakfast there, so I can't speak to those. The people were friendly and... more

This hotel is located in a posh, modern part of Manila within walking distance of shopping malls and restaurants (the various greenbelts and gloriettas). The staff are incredibly friendly and really go out of their way to help you out. Very professional service. We had a great view of the Makati skyscrapers. Makati Avenue is pretty noisy (as was the... more

The Olympia is a slightly downmarket version of a 3 star hotel in Manila. The rooms are tired, the decor is tired, the food is tired. The location sells it - 500m from the Green Belt and across the road from the Peninsula. However, the Iranian embassy is next door. Security is tight led by a lovely Labrador named Jane.... more
