Dear Members,

Would appreciate any info on how monger friendly is the Shagri-La on Ayala avenue near the Green belt and Glorietta shopping center.

Also any advise on the new world hotel in the vicinity is appreciated.

Going to be out there for 10 on business expense and advise for a good, monger friendly location is appreciated.

Thanks

Corny

I've stayed there several times and it is definitely girl / monger friendly.

Never stayed at the Shangri-la but can recommend you the Peninsula just across the road. It is very GF and no problems at all.

MC Don,

Do you know the walk in rate for a standard room ,I saw many different rate online ,I agree it is a good location near Makati but Burgo is dead now days.

First thanks for the post, I took your advise and booked and stayed at St Giles for two nights last week.

The hotel is brand new, and I was the first that stayed in the room and broke in the bead.

I didn't have time to check out the facilities so I can't comment on anything other then the room and the reception desk. Room service was limited, and the were not able to exchange USD at reception (there is an exchange office across the street though). They are obviously still setting up. There was some (little) noise thought the day they are obviously going though the final touches.

Overall good value for money, great location, new hotel. WORTH THE $$$

I drove by a new hotel last night. It is called the St Giles. It is right in the heart of Makati and appears to be at least a 4 star but maybe a 5 star.

I looked them up on the web and they have rates as low as $57 and $72 per night.

My guess is that these are promo rates since the place just opened July 1. If you are coming to manila soon I would cancel my reservation and stay at this place.

It is right on makati ave next to burgos street!

Can anyone tell me anything about this Mabuhay Manor Hotel? I am thinking of staying there the first two days of my arrival.

Hi mate. Afraid that there is not much in the way of decent hotels in Las Pinas itself. Eurotel is probably the best choice. You could always go for one of their Executive Rooms and ask for one with a window (I believe that there are some). Good thing about the Eurotel is its position on Alabang/Zapote Road, almost opposite Southmall. Bad thing is that this road is one of the most traffic clogged roads in Manila, particularly at rush hour (which is most of the day:)) so you have to give plenty of time when planning for meetings, assignations etc.

Very close to Las Pinas and much more upmarket is Alabang. Off the top of Alabang/Zapote Road and close to a very nice garden mall called Alabang Town Centre is the Vivere. Never stayed there so cannot report but it appears to be a nice hotel. You can check it out at http://viveresuites.com/accommodations.asp.

Hope this helps a little.

That actually helps a lot!

Thanks for the quick reply. This does look nice and seems to have everything I'm looking for..

Much appreciated.

Respected PI mongers....

I will be in Manila next month, but due to some urgent personal/family reasons, I have to stay close to las Pinas for most of my time there.

Respected PI mongers....

I need to stay in a hotel, but hopefully.. a clean pace with wi-fi and a decent breakfast.

Will need to stay a week so a windowless Euortel type room might get too prison like on my current mission.

Any recommendations guys?

Price is not a factor since it will be a short stay. Just want something comfortable and clean where I can catch up with work if I have to.

Will return the favour if you old hands ever venture to Dubai.


Much appreciated!

:)

I would like some information on these apartments if you don't mind. Are they furnished with clean beds? Heard that sometimes there is a bedbug problem in some places. I will be there for 9 nights, but might want to split it up a little and try 3 different places. Do not need any stalkers after I am done.

Well, my 2 cents, avoid those 'apartel' / penthouse types.

Except a few well maintained places, the temporary tenants end up creating breeding grounds for roaches.

As for cleanliness and fresh sheets/towels - they were on the ball at every apartment style residence I stayed.
