Apartamentos vacacionales en Gran Manila, Filipinas

Este hotel está ubicado en un edificio de oficinas muy alto, de más de 50 pisos; me alojé en el piso 30. Como mi inglés es limitado, el guardia de seguridad de la recepción me ayudó a contactar a un miembro del personal del hotel. Bajó con la llave de mi habitación y me acompañó arriba. Dejé mi pasaporte en la recepción a cambio de una tarjeta de acceso. La habitación parecía diseñada para estancias largas; tenía una cama doble, una litera, un televisor, un refrigerador y una cocina. Se cobró un depósito de 3000 pesos al registrarme, que se reembolsó al hacer el check-out. El restaurante de comida rápida de la planta baja, Jollibee, podría no ser del agrado de los huéspedes chinos. La habitación tenía muchas instrucciones, dos páginas por cada lado, haciendo especial hincapié en no fumar, no dañar objetos y la necesidad de limpiar la habitación al hacer el check-out. El wifi era prácticamente inexistente. Un pequeño favor: dejé una pequeña bolsa en la habitación y, mientras esperaba un taxi, un miembro del personal me la trajo; se lo agradecí mucho.

¡Gracias! Un lugar súper agradable y cómodo para alojarse. Sarap Matulog. Perfecto para dos parejas.

The Studio 18 Residences, Pasig: Review Overall Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7/10) Title: Great Location & Friendly Staff, But Needs a Little Polish When booking a long-term or quick business stay in the Ortigas area, finding a place that balances price, location, and comfort can be a real challenge. The Studio 18 Residences in Pasig is a solid contender that mostly succeeds, offering excellent value for money, but falls just shy of a perfect 10 due to some small, yet noticeable, inconsistencies in the facility and experience. This is a dependable choice—a true 7 out of 10. The Good: Location and Service Are Top-Tier The biggest strength of Studio 18 is its location. It's tucked away inside San Antonio Village, which is a quiet and secure gated community, giving you peace of mind in a busy city. Yet, you're only a short, manageable walk away from major hubs like SM Megamall, Capitol Commons, and Shangri-La Plaza. If you rely on public transport, the proximity to the Shaw Boulevard MRT station is a huge plus. It’s an ideal base for shopping, working, or accessing neighboring Ortigas Center. The Staff deserves special mention. From the security guards to the front desk, everyone is genuinely friendly, accommodating, and quick to address requests. In a large metro, great service makes all the difference, and the team here is absolutely the highlight of the stay. The Rooms are surprisingly spacious, especially compared to newer, smaller budget studios. Many units come equipped with a small kitchenette (refrigerator, electric kettle, microwave in some), a comfortable desk for working, and good air conditioning. It’s a clean, safe, and functional space that is easy to call home for a few days or weeks. Areas for Improvement (Why It's a 7/10) The main drawback lies in the execution of the property's facilities and basic comforts, which occasionally feel a little dated or incomplete. * Facility Consistency: While some units might offer a full suite of amenities, the overall facilities rating tends to lag. Simple things like having a reliable, high-speed Wi-Fi connection that never drops, or ensuring basic bathroom items (like a foot rug or consistent soap refills) are always present, are areas where the residence can be hit or miss. * Accessibility Check: For those traveling with a lot of luggage, prepare to handle it yourself. There’s a noticeable lack of luggage ramps or a dedicated doorman to assist upon arrival, which can be a hassle, especially on check-in day. * Evening Access: While the gated community setting is safe, the convenience gates nearest popular dining spots reportedly close around 10 PM. This means if you are out late, you might have a longer walk back through the main gate, which can be inconvenient. Verdict: If your priorities are location, safety, and having a good, functional space with excellent staff—and you're willing to overlook some minor facility and logistics kinks—The Studio 18 Residences is a smart and affordable choice. It provides far better value than many nearby hotels. It’s not a luxury experience, but it’s a perfectly reliable home base in Pasig. A strong recommendation for budget-conscious business travelers and long-term stayers.

I had a very pleasant stay. The room was comfortable, well-maintained, and nicely designed, making it a great place to relax after a long day. Ps. I got upgraded to bigger room at the residence side as my previous room having an issue from the noise of the maintenance. The breakfast also offered a wide variety of options, with something to suit different preferences. What impressed me most, however, was the staff. Their attitude and hospitality were exceptional across every area. Everyone was warm, attentive, genuinely helpful, and always welcoming. The level of service really made the stay feel special. Overall, a wonderful experience, and I would definitely be happy to stay here again in my next visit during October.

The stay was really great. We booked for NO BALCONY because it's cheaper but they still gave us WITH BALCONY with no additional charge. The internet is fast. You can cook, the water pressure is great, you can watch Youtube and Netflix on TV. If there is only downside that I could share is that there are NO HYGIENE KIT (which is already indicated on the booking) so you better buy it on the groceries. Their customer service is 24/7 so you can call them anytime. Overall, the stay was very great. Thank you so much!

La peor experiencia de mi vida en un hotel. Reservé este hotel por 3 días y 2 noches. La estancia del primer día es excelente. Sin problemas en absoluto. El servicio es bueno. El segundo día hasta el check out es el peor. El aire acondicionado del segundo día estaba empezando a calent****. Salimos del hotel por la tarde y volvimos por la noche. Para nuestra sorpresa, el aire acondicionado de repente no funciona. Tiene un mensaje de error de FO. No soy técnico, pero en una explicación sencilla, es necesario que lo arregle un técnico. Como regresamos en la noche, intenté comunicarme con el cuidador de este lugar pero entiendo que no pudo responder más porque ya era de noche. Lo único que hice fue abrir las ventanas porque ya no había ventilación adentro. Todavía hacía calor y estábamos todos cubiertos de sudor. Tampoco pude dormir en toda la noche ya que cada 30 minutos pasa un avión y hay mucho ruido desde que abrimos las ventanas. Estoy muy decepcionado porque se suponía que esta sería mi última noche aquí en Pasay antes de regresar a casa. Ahora estoy a punto de irme a casa sin dormir nada.

Me gustaría compartir mi excelente experiencia con Mel de Gemstones. Desde el momento de la reserva hasta el check-in y el check-out, Mel fue increíblemente servicial y atenta. Hizo que todo el proceso fuera sencillo, sin estrés y realmente agradable. Mel me proporcionó actualizaciones claras y constantes, respondió a todas mis preguntas con prontitud y se esforzó al máximo para asegurarse de que todo estuviera bien preparado antes de mi llegada. Su cálida actitud y profesionalismo me hicieron sentir realmente bien atendido durante toda mi estancia. Gracias, Mel, por tu excelente servicio. La recomiendo ampliamente a cualquiera que busque una experiencia de reserva sin complicaciones ni preocupaciones.

The place was nice. Only the towels were not good. And pillow cases were worn out. But the staff was accomodating though.

The building is located at the heart of makati. Its a quick walk to Greenbelt. Walk a bit more to the other side and you can explore the Salcedo and Legazpi weekend Markets. Only drawback is the Lift (elevator) that is still going through repairs. Takes awhile to get up and down.

I have used other vacation apps to plan my travels -I have just realized Trip.com is top notch when it comes to preparing/reminders/changes for the upcoming hotel/flight . Now back to the property this NOT to make a business like a condo/hotel rental look bad but an honest observation coming from some like me that resides N American country Like USA(I am Asian and American raised ) As a SE Asian traveler -they are NOT prepared to the needs: Promptness Deposit /over verification -too much paperwork/TIME (Excuses for being late -like 15 -30 mins is nothing to some culture but in the USA we learned “if you’re on time “ you’re late . I hope you take this in consideration for the aforementioned. Traveling to let’s say Japan or Philippines, pack extra patience you will NEED it they say they are proficient in English ask again , 24/7 means open all day and all night & most doesn’t understand those numbers. Personally I will stick to Hotels where I’m not asked for cash deposit (1 night ONLY) I had to use U$D i ran out of local currency. I had to take a pic of my $40 so I know for sure it was indeed the money I gave them ( I shouldn’t have this type of feeling -but I did :/ ) long rant thanks for listening
