My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was convenient, near the US embassy and Rizal Park, but it attracted some undesirable elements.

The hotel rooms at the Bellagio are absolutely not worth the price, feeling a bit better than a prison cell. However, the service remains very friendly and helpful. The location is convenient for nearby casual restaurants and nightlife, but becomes less favorable after dark. The dining experience offers a variety of Filipino food, although the quality has decreased. Overall, the facilities are commendable.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were outdated and had some issues like a small window looking out to a slum with people burning refuse all day, but the staff was friendly. The price seemed a bit high for what was offered. There were dining options outside, but the meals within the hotel were expensive. The location had its drawbacks with homeless children nearby, but it was convenient to some popular spots.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was quite disappointing. It felt outdated and had a small window facing a slum with constant smoke from burning refuse entering through the air conditioner. There were also basic amenities missing like a refrigerator and a safety box. The bathroom shower was noisy all night, and there were no essentials like plastic glasses for brushing teeth or drinking water.

The hotel is conveniently located near the US embassy and Rizal Park, making it a good spot for exploring the city. The rooms have recently been renovated but still show signs of wear and have poor TV signal. The service is accommodating but lacks attention to details like no butter for toast. The location is central, although the presence of homeless children is a sad sight. The dining experience is average but offers tasty tapas. Overall, the facilities are decent but could be improved.

I stayed at this hotel in Makati and found the rooms to be new but not perfect as they had just been refurbished. The service from the staff was very good, friendly, and attentive, which saved the experience from being terrible, although the prices seemed to be jacked up without much investment in the facility and services. The location was favorable despite being a bit run down and congested, providing convenience for nearby casual restaurants and nightlife. As for the dining experience, I had a normal breakfast which was pretty good. Overall, the facilities were decent.

The hotel offers basic but comfortable rooms. Despite some issues with the view of a nearby slum and smoke entering through the air conditioner, the overall stay was decent. The service was generally friendly, though there were some issues with certain staff members. The location is convenient for nearby casual restaurants and nightlife, but it has drawbacks with the presence of addicts and beggars.
