Summit Hotel Magnolia

Location

The hotel is located right beside Robinson's Magnolia and there's a door at the lobby that leads you straight to the mall.  Timog would also be about a 5-minute ride away.

Check In / Out

Checking in and out was pretty efficient. They also provide you with free magazines upon check in which was a nice touch.

The hallway looks pretty cool.

Room Size

I booked the Fabulous Suite which was really spacious as you have your own separate living room, a powder room, main bedroom and a large bathroom.

I also liked the bedside tables.

Room View

The Fabulous Suite gives you a view of rooftops while the Magical Suite has one really small panel window, nothing to see.

Room Amenities

The room has the standard minibar and an electric water kettle.  They don't provide bathrobes even if you ask for it.  There's also no ironing board in the room - I'm not sure if they can send one to your room if you ask.

Wifi for the most part is strong and reliable. 

Network signal is bad for Smart and is even worse for Globe. I barely had a signal the whole time.

There was a funky smell in the suite and the air conditioner of the Fabulous Suite was busted so they had to move me to the Nostalgic Suite.

The room wasn't bad, however, it had no tub.

I then moved to the Magical Suite.

Sleep Quality

The bed was large but the sheets could be better.  I also found the pillows to be really uncomfortable. They also have the tempur style pillows in the wardrobe but I didn't bother because I don't find the ergonomic style of those pillows to work for me.

Bathroom

They have nice bath amenities and a large shower area but there's no bidet.

Water pressure is okay but unreliable. When I took a shower at night, the pressure was so weak, the heater wasn't kicking in. 

Hotel Amenities

There are two computers in the lobby if you wish to use one other than that, there are no amenities. It's a small hotel with only two room floors.

Breakfast

Breakfast is at Conti's, a few doors down. You have to exit the hotel to get to the restaurant. 

Staff Courtesy

Staff is friendly, nothing extraordinary.  When they asked me to transfer because of the busted air conditioner, they moved me to a room without a tub.  I called the front desk and requested for one because that is what I specifically booked. They said the only other room with a tub costs more and I ended up paying an additional 500 pesos for it.  I don't mind but if it's not the guest's fault, I would think I shouldn't be paying for it. 

Room Service

Room Service is provided by The Clubhouse which is also in the mall.  The downside is it also operates during mall hours so it's not going to be available if you have a sudden midnight craving.

Good Deals!

Check out their FB page: Summit Hotel Magnolia to get good deals.  I got a special discounted rate because of the Robinson's Rewards card that I have and promo was posted on their page.


Overall, it was an okay stay. I would stay there again because of the value for money.
