STAYED there to enjoy the summer since we didn't have the time to go to provinces and other beaches in the philippines, when we checked in the front desk was very rude, seems that they don't even know hat they are doing. as well as their manager joel. if it was not for the nice manager darwin we would have... more

Not central but beautiful location overlooking the bay. Close to the airport - only about 20mins and there are some good nightspots, restaurants and shopping close by. Downstairs bar is great , although perspective may be swayed by the fact they were hosting a Playboy anniversary one evening and the outdoor bar is also a nice place to start, or... more

I stayed at the Sofitel last year in September, and found it so wonderful I returned! Its vicinity to the Mall of Asia (a very confusing and time consuming to find anywhere type place) also gives it a plus. The attention to detail is superb, it's the little things that count. I love the bathroom provisions, it was complete. The... more

When you drive to the Sofitel Manila, you see a very big and huge building. It did not inspire me.......But when you are getting out of your taxi, and feel and see how welcome you are then you will forget this first feeling. My room: very big bed, nice bathroom. The management has decided to remove the bath from the... more

The Sofitel has recently been renovated, the rooms are very clean and modern. The pool area is large and very nice. There are several restuarants to chose from in the hotel and the buffet is very good. The day spa and gym area are still under renovation but are open and offer very reasonably priced massages etc. The staff are... more

My best friend recently had her wedding at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza, and while the stay itself was fine (and my room was one of the recently renovated floors, so the decor was quite nice), the service booking our rooms was disappointing. The hotel staff did not clearly communicate with many of the guests who were booking as part of... more

The property itself is up to Sofitel standard but seems to have problem on the service of the bell boy. SInce the spa at the hotel has undergone a new rennovation so they put the spa inside 3 - 4 guestrooms and it's not worth it to have a spa session there, so I asked one of the bell boy... more

Great location. Standard rooms are good value, executive rooms are not. As of December 2007, most rooms were renovated, some not ("executive" rooms on floor 10 were not). Executive rooms get to use the "Sofitel Club" on floor 10 (opened January 2008), which has free drinks (including alcohol) and free hot food, but can get so busy, you've no chance... more

We stayed there for 3 nights for a wedding that our friends had in their Mindanao room. I don't know who rated this hotel as a 5-star, but to me it is a 2-3 star hotel. First of all, there were only 2 people in front of me when I checked in but I was in line for about 30... more
