Citadines Benavidez Makati

The stay was almost perfect! It’s truly one of those hidden gems you find on Booking.com. While it’s not a 5-star hotel, it absolutely delivers great value for the price. Room – Spacious and comfortable. The bed and pillows were excellent, and the shower was equally impressive. Facilities – They have a gym, pool, and self-service laundry. You can save quite a bit by doing your own laundry here—definitely much cheaper than typical hotel laundry services. Staff – The male staff were exceptionally helpful and approachable. Housekeeping was among the best I’ve experienced. However, a few of the female receptionists seemed less accommodating, and some even had an unwelcoming demeanor. Breakfast & Dining – The in-house restaurant, Catalogue, isn’t perfect, but several dishes were truly delicious. The restaurant staff were wonderful and very attentive.

Large room, well equipped, very clean, quiet, kitchenette. Helpful friendly personal.

I had an incredible stay our apartment was spacious, modern, and very well-equipped. The amenities were fantastic, and having a washer/dryer in the unit was a huge plus, especially for a longer stay. Room service was prompt and efficient, and I really appreciated being able to schedule housekeeping at my convenience with just a quick call. As a fitness enthusiast, I checked out the gym daily. While it's on the smaller side, it was always empty during my workouts, which made it easy to train. The free weights go up to 25kg with an adjustable bench, and there's a solid chest press machine that doubles for flat, incline, and shoulder presses. They also have leg extension and hamstring curl machines, along with a lat pulldown and cable row setup. If you're a more experienced lifter, you'll just need to adjust your training style a bit higher reps, more volume but I still got a great pump every session. Overall, I loved the stay and would definitely recommend it, especially if you're looking for comfort, convenience, and solid amenities.

- good location on a quiet street. Walking distance to several malls. 20mins from airport (via the Skyway and without too much traffic). It's a little far from the main tourist sites like Intramuros and Chinatown. - the staff were very helpful and friendly. They helped us with our luggage when we arrived and when we left. - our room was slightly smaller than we expected but not a big deal. It was absolutely fine for our needs. It had a sofa, table, kitchen, big fridge, chairs, and a nice view of the city. - the breakfast was not a buffet but the menu still had a side selection. - we made use of the rooftop pool and gym in the morning. The gym was also on the smaller side, but we're glad that at least they have one.

I booked this place for my last two nights in the Philippines and it did not disappoint. The hotel itself is in a very nice location. Upscale neighborhood, lots of delicious restaurants within walking distance and quick pick ups with grabs. We went to the mall of Asia only 20 minutes away for a shopping excursion. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable with nice views of the city. The rooftop pool was so relaxing to sit out and watch the sun go down on Manila. The restaurant in the hotel's food was SO GOOD and their complimentary breakfast was whatever you wanted off the menu. I got the Japanese curry it was spectacular. The staff was so kind and helpful. We had an early flight out and they asked the restaurant to make us breakfast Togo before they even officially opened for the day so we could get to the airport 3 hours in advance. I highly recommend staying here for a nice unwind.
