New World Makati Hotel

Location

New World Makati Hotel is located right across Greenbelt 3 so the hotel is perfect if you're intention of visiting Manila is to shop.

Check In / Out

I can't believe how spacious the lobby is.

The hotel has an ongoing promotion till the end of the month offering their residence club rooms at half the price.  We took advantage of that promotion so we were led to the residence club floor to check-in.  We arrived at a little past 12 and all three rooms that we booked were given to us without any fuss.

Checking out was also easy as pie.  We were also offered to stay a little longer and have a cup of coffee in the living room (lounge).  It's a great way to make a lasting impression.

Room Size

The room size is adequate and as it is newly renovated, the design is modern.

They have an open closet that I like.

The Evian water bottles also have large price tags to avoid any confusion.

I forgot to check the Wifi speed but I didn't have any issues with the speed and was consistent throughout our stay. 

They also have fire masks available in your room.  Talk about being prepared.

I had a few issues with the room but they were all minor, I couldn't find the robes to use for sleeping, and the digibox for the cable TV was not set-up.  Again, very minor, nothing that's a deal breaker. 

Bathroom

Apart from the door, one of the bathroom wall slides open so you can watch TV while you're in the tub.  I also particularly liked the cool air coming in while you're enjoying a hot soak in the tub.

The shower area is separate which I like and it's the only hotel I've stayed in that has a proper bath mat.  I hate getting the bathroom floor wet so having a huge bath mat is a big plus.

New World also has the best bathrobes ever.  They're fluffy and heavenly. 

Since the room is newly renovated, it would've been great if they installed a bidet. 

Lounge

We spent a huge amount of our time in the Residence Club Living Room.  How could you not?  The lounge has comfortable sofas and has an amazing view.

The buffet spread during cocktail hour was good.  If you're the type who likes to be left alone, you're going to love it at the club.  They pretty much let you be from making your own coffee to getting your own wine.

Breakfast

We were allowed to have breakfast only at the Residence Club and we were initially slightly disappointed because the lounge spread is pretty limited.  Upon checking, there were no eggs, pancakes or bacon!

One of their chefs approached us and told us about the menu on the table.  As it turns out, apart from the spread, you can also order anything you want from the menu.  Pancakes, Bacon, Eggs, Steak then!

Hotel Amenities

The gym is 24 hours and I forgot to take a photo but they have a few cardio machines and a few weights.  It's located in one of the floors that they haven't yet renovated. 

Here's a photo of the pool that we also didn't get to use.

I also liked how their business center looks like from the outside.

Overall, we had a wonderful time and we can't wait to be back.
