Ramada Encore by Wyndham Makati

The hotel was very cheap overall. The room was very large and in good condition. It had a toothbrush, soap, shower gel, conditioner and body wash. No razor. The location is great for a taxi around Makati, BGC, Pasay, Quezon and more. It is only a short drive to the airport. Just ask them to book a grab for which you pay cash. Taxies will try to con you if they are dodgy, no one uses the meter so get a grab. One guy gave me a price and didn't know where my hotel was. I had to look it up for him as he couldn't use his phone. He then asked for another 200. I paid my agreed fee + my tip. Don't let the taxi drivers con you. Get a SIM card and register. If you plan to stay a long time, get the grab on your phone.

You get what you pay for with this hotel, this is a very affordable hotel, clean rooms, reception area and dining area. Not being a local, I was worried about the location (as I have booked a hotel before which was near the ‘Red light district’ and I wasn’t to know). However this location does not have any bars of that sort near by, instead you have launderettes, fast food places such as McDonald’s, Chow King and a big grocery store just walking distance away. You can get a GRAB to Greenbelt for less than 200php from the hotel. The best part of this hotel is the exceptional staff, they were all so warm and welcoming, really making our stay that more comfortable with their genuinely friendly hospitality that you expect from Filipinos. From the door man, to reception, to the catering staff, to housekeeping they were all so lovely to me and my family that we would definitely recommend this hotel.

The room was quite big and the bed very comfortable. The Hotel is located in a very quite neighbourhood and therefore we had a good rest at night. Rooftop is super nice and we where able to order food straight into our room. (altough a bit on the pricey side) We used the gym twice - not the biggest but has all you need for an intense workout. Breakfast was quite diverse and we got plenty even last minute. As always in the Philippines, the staff was super nice and helpful.

We stayed at this hotel 3 times already and we will comeback for sure. The rooms are big, clean and comfortable, with hot water, good A/C, fresh bed linen and towels. Staff is very nice. Breakfast is good. You have supermarkets, places to eat, laundry at walkable distance. The rooftop bar & restaurant is also nice. I really do not understand why guests write such bad reviews because is not the case. The only reason I do not give a 10 is because it is a little noisy, even if us not hotel's fault, we're in Manila.

This is our 2nd time in Ramada by Wyndham Makati. We chose to come back because the room is spacious, breakfast is good with Filipino dishes, bed is comfortable and it is one of the best price hotel near the Ayala Avenue and Malls. Food is sumptuous. Location is not noisy and you will be able to relax.
