Top hotels in Makati Downtown
City Garden Hotel Makati
Avoid the breakfast buffet at all cost. Not worth the money. Also, 2 elevators in the building. Good luck getting one because the staff has the elevators tied up all day. Asked for a late check out by one hour and was told no. Goodbye never coming back

Red Planet Makati Avenue Manila
No American outlets to charge. Dirty. Loud. Immediately checked out 20 after I saw the room. No refund given. Horrible everything

Y2 Residence Hotel managed by HII
Room is exactly what appears on the pictures taken when it was totally brand new I assume. It is now pretty worn out and especially the furnitures and kitchen. It needs a facelift to relect the current condition. Staffs were friendly and helpful.

I would highly recommend this hostel for Backpackers and solo travellers. It is located walking distance from convenience stores, pharmacies and food options. Most of the staff were extremely helpful and kind. The biggest asset for me was the laundry facilities onsite, this was super convenient. ...
