Stayed overnight at the Hotel Benilde Maison De Manila a couple weeks ago. Honestly I was skeptical about this because most hospitality establishments run by schools fail to impress because of the quality of work they put in on these joints especially in the Philippines. Not that I'm putting anyone down but the battering average is low in my books, so they don't end up in my blog for more reasons than one.
This place is right smack in the middle of Manila. It sticks out among aged buildings in the area because this one is just fresh, new, like an oasis in the desert. You will feel right at home. Albeit very strict upon checking in, you won't spend that much time in the lobby because they have systems in place. The kind gentlemen even offered to carry my bag upstairs - even if in my head I just wanted to take a break, shower and sleep.
I took a breather and saw this waiting for me on the top floor. The crisp white covers and warm lights was just inviting, I practically slept til around 4 ish to get ready for my other events slated that day.
I placed my UE Red Warriors cap on the work table, they have ample WiFi and several cable channels to keep my mind off things. The couch beside the window was my favorite place, the Manila skyline didn't look bad after all when you're on top of this building. Check out this video I made of my stay and the events that occurred that day. Enjoy!
To you it may have looked like a jump-off point to other things in the district, but those couple hours I spent in Hotel Benilde Maison De Manila got me going the whole day, plus they've got really great breakfast choices in the morning, I didn't want to miss every bit of that. So I did indulge!
They passed my fried egg test which I do in a lot of hotels just to see if they follow cooking instructions because I prefer mine super well done and crispy, and they did just that! Overall, I felt taken cared of and comfy, I didn't know they had these hotels in Manila. If you also check their rates, they are super cheap for the room I got.
Now don’t you even think that they are not thinking of you because Hotel Benilde has specials prepared for you this Christmas. Check out their promos during this holiday season!
