Top Santa Mesa Hotel Reviews

Kingsford Hotel Manila Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Earl and Ella's at the front desk were most helpful. And not to forget the shuttle driver who went back because I stood in the wrong area. They were all so kind. Loved this hotel and service so much, I booked a second time. Also, I will be booking 5 ros in July for my daughter's 23rd birthday celebration."

Dusit Thani Manila

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing! Their customer service was great and they were welcoming! The actual hotel itself is actually very clean and it's walking distance from several malls and a Lawson's convenience store is across the street on the Palm Drive side of the hotel! I arrived at the hotel on a weekday and it took me about 15 minutes with 4pm traffic. Overall it was a great stay!"

City Garden Hotel Makati

10/10 Excellent

"It is a great hotel for the price. Yes, the room needs renovation but the location is great. The rooftop bar is better the the City Garden Grand hotel and I’m Hotel that are across the street. The breakfast is fantastic. It is better than the City Garden Grand hotel in taste and quality. Compared to I’m Hotel. More selection and choices. Overall, the front desk staff is very professional unlike St. Giles hotel that is next to City Garden Makita hotel. St. Giles front desk staff are unprofessional when you have an issue with hotel such breakfast being charged when it should be included when you booked. Also, charge on towel and bedsheet when there are minor stain already there. St. Giles does not accept any blames in their policy. Whereas City Garden Makita will try to resolve issues when arise.Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel."
