The Peninsula Manila

I have no idea why this hotel is rated so highly. I do not recommend and will never stay again. This hotel is outdated - rooms need major renovation and certain floors smell awful (like fish). Not worth the cost - we stayed on the 5th floor in a large corner suite. Room was musty smelling and outdated. The lounge access was not worth it. The spa was a disaster - there was construction going on in women’s locker room (and you expect guests to undress while men are working?). Please see pictures. Massage by therapist was terrible and had to and massage within 15 minutes. Also, hotel does not inform guests of major events - there was a large event taking up lobby space all day interrupting guest services - huge inconvenience. I absolutely hated our business stay here.

Nice hotel but the rooms are very dated and in need of modernisation however they were very clean and neat. Location is great so it is a trade off for how out of date the rooms are but it is a little noisy outside which is normal for the city. The hotel lobby is very grand and lovely, the pool area and pool bar is very relaxing and nice. The restaurant food is excellent, highly recommend Spices. Service overall in the hotel was excellent, it is a really nice hotel.

A belated review … we stayed in December on the occasion of the famous Peninsula Manila Christmas concert. Everything was perfect, staff was lovely and super attentive, food at the club lounge was delicious. Having drinks and dancing at Salon de Ning was the cherry on the cake

Luxury hotel. A bit old fashioned, but large rooms which are very comfortable. Very decent pool and excellent breakfast. Service top. Use Grab to get there from the airport

This is a lovely hotel well placed in Manila. The lobby is really beautiful and busy all day and in the evening with many locals using it for business meetings and afternoon teas ! On arrival we were upgraded to a junior suite. The rooms are big and clean but I would say in need of redecoration. We had a hole in our carpet and the furniture was a bit dowdy. The breakfast here is amazing one of the best we have ever experienced on our travels . The staff were fantastic too could not do enough to help you. We enjoyed our stay thank you.
