5-Star Hotels in Metro Manila, Philippines

This is a classic hotel, well located, full service (though a little slow at times) and it was very busy when we were there at Chinese New Year. The staff are friendly and helpful. This room was small but comfortable. Breakfast is fabulous but be careful of the queues (as well as when checking in and out). The gym is well stocked and the pool area is pleasant although the pool is a little small. The food is good all round. It is conveniently located next to the giant malls of Makati where there is plenty to eat and shop! I enjoyed our stay and would stay again. The lobby is lovely.

We recently stayed for one night at The Bellevue Hotel and had a mixed experience. Check-in wasn’t very smooth. We encountered a minor issue where an adult needed to be present in each room before check-in, which caused a delay since one adult in our group was arriving later. Because of this, the kids couldn’t check in right away. Thankfully, we were still able to access our second room without much issue. I had specifically requested adjacent rooms during booking, but we were assigned rooms in different towers. While they weren’t extremely far apart or on different floors, it was still inconvenient and not what we expected. The Main Wing Deluxe room felt quite small for what’s advertised as a 5-star hotel. Additionally, the staff were not particularly accommodating, which impacted the overall experience. We also noticed what appeared to be bed bugs, which was quite concerning. On a more positive note, the breakfast buffet was enjoyable with a wide variety of choices, and the pool area was nice and relaxing. Overall, while there were some highlights, the issues we encountered—especially with room assignments, service, and cleanliness—made the stay less satisfying than expected.

We tried Nobu Hotel only because it’s near DreamPlay where our daughter celebrated her birthday. Our hotel experience wasn’t the best because of the delayed check in (though they tried to make it up for it later on), lifeguard was too strict even if the parents are literally holding the kids while in the pool, breakfast buffet was so-so, among other things. The best thing about it though was our dining experience in Nobu Restaurant. The food and staff were amazing! We’d probably come back just for the restaurant.

The Peninsula Manila, a hotel with over 50 years of history, boasts an excellent location in the heart of Makati, just a 20-minute drive from the airport. It's surrounded by numerous shopping malls, making dining and shopping incredibly convenient. The hotel lobby is grand and currently has a strong Christmas atmosphere. Both the rooms and bathrooms are spacious, though the facilities are a bit dated, they are still clean and tidy. The staff are all very warm and polite; they readily approved my request for a late check-out. The breakfast offers a wide variety of choices and tastes great. The outdoor swimming pool has a beautiful environment. It truly lives up to its reputation as a classic five-star hotel, and my stay was excellent.

Unexpectedly gorgeous room upgrade! I was initially placed in an incredibly noisy room with zero soundproofing. I could hear everything – the AC, doors slamming outside, and people talking in the hallway. After a grueling day of travel (I missed my Bohol flight because I messed up my stock trading!), all I wanted was a quiet place near the airport to sleep. I even specifically requested a quiet room in my booking notes. Yet, I was kept up until past 2 AM by all the noise. I was so upset I almost cried. Thankfully, the front desk immediately upgraded me to this amazing room! It's absolutely perfect. The room is huge, and I can actually close the door and enjoy real peace and quiet. I ended up sleeping until the afternoon, I didn't want to get up! 💓 Thank you for this wonderful experience.

The hotel is quite old and low maintained so do not expect real five star hotel experience But the team did tried to keep it clean The room is extremely dark with minimal lights , hence will need to borrow portable lights from hotel Service per se, front desk not very friendly but restaurant for buffet is very friendly The worst is the Chinese restaurant , I never experience such rude service before in my life , they will really show you the facial expression that the are tired or dissatisfied , if you order five items, they will serve you one and forget the rest, you may want to remind the few times only get full order served , I was just asking that they serve the wrong dish and the waitress just come look at me with fierce face : no , this is what you order, please eat it , wow five star hotel 🤔 Alabang really don’t have much choices , so what to do

An absolute 10/10 experience! The hotel is stunningly modern and sleek. The highlight for me was the breakfast buffet—an incredible spread with so many fresh options. Everything was seamless from start to finish. I can't wait to come back!

From the moment we arrived, the service at Nuwa Hotel was outstanding. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—always friendly, approachable, and quick to assist with anything we needed. The room was incredibly spacious, well-designed, and offered plenty of comfort, making it a perfect place to relax after a long day. Every detail felt thoughtfully arranged, adding to the overall experience. Overall, this hotel made our stay feel extra special. I highly recommend Nuwa Hotel for anyone looking for both luxury and warmth in their travel experience.

Five-star service: From checking in to checking out, from interacting with the concierge to the hotel staff, we were always treated with a warm smile, courteous service, and anticipation of the next need. The breakfast was just out of this world. It has the best selection of food from all over. My family and I loved our stay at the Fairmont Makati.

Great rooms, superb pest control. Water pressure is consistently good (hot/cold). Staffs are accomodating and professional. The food is pretty standard (buffet breakfast). Wish they have private onsen but you can still enjoy the pool with glass bottom if your not into naked bath. The antidote bar will definitely one of our favorite amenity (360 makati skyline). Wifi is slow on some parts of the hotel, i suggest that the management upgrade their tv to a smart one that is capable of streaming. Overall the experience was worth the price.
