But it had a very good rating on Booking.com, and my sis liked the location, so close to her office. RED PLANET AMORSOLO When we arrived at Red Planet Amorsolo, what immediately struck us was the clean and bright parking area. It was full, though, so we were directed to park out front. The front desk is located on the second floor, and there's a small cafe there where you can order some light snacks like muffins, and use some public computers. The area is nice and clean, if a bit simple and no-frills. The building looked new and clean. The elevator is modern. The corridors were also nice and clean. Most importantly, the RED PLANET AMORSOLO FELT SAFE. My sis tried another budget hotel in Makati last week, on the same price range (around P2,000 per night), and it was old and musty and did not feel safe. Red Planet Amorsolo is located just behind the Burgundy Corporate Tower in Makati, near Makati Medical Center. You can easily walk to Pasong Tamo (Chino Roces Ave.), Buendia (Sen. Gil Puyat Ave.) or Ayala Ave. Okay, I am not a fan of the name changes of the streets. Many places to eat are within walking distance, the better ones nearby are along Ayala Ave., but Ministop, Mang Inasal and McDonald's are the nearest. If too lazy to head out, you can always have food delivered! Just call the front desk and let them know that you are expecting a delivery. They will assist the delivery guy in going to your room. UPDATE: There's a small Taiwanese grocery store in the building just immediately to the left of the hotel. It's called TPE Market, but it's not very visible because a lot of trucks and cars are parked in front of it, covering the sign and the door. They sell very good bento box meals for only P190! THE ROOM The room was actually quite small, smaller than we expected, and it was pretty basic. However, it was bright and clean, the bed looked clean, nice and inviting, the bathroom was clean and new, the hot/cold water pressure was strong. There's a small safe. Bath towels are provided, but that's it. There's a soap dispenser and a 3-in-one shampoo, body wash and conditioner liquid dispenser in the shower. There's no toothbrush provided, so bring your own. The bathroom door is frosted glass, but the rest of the bathroom has real walls. There is no closet area, and there are no amenities for coffee/tea. You can ask for some hot water from the front desk, but that is just too much trouble to do every time. So I took a quick trip to Shopwise, just a quick, P7.00 jeepney ride along Chino Roces (Pasong Tamo) around the corner, and luckily found an electric kettle on sale for P388.00 for my coffee / tea / oatmeal and instant cup noodle needs. While there, I also bought some supplies like snacks and dish soap. There is no refrigerator, so only bring snacks that don't need any refrigeration. Oh, and bring your own mug. Luckily, I brought my travel utensils set, a spoon, fork and chopsticks set with case that I bought from 168. Also, be careful if you're eating in the room. Upon checking in, we were told that we would be charged for any stains that we might make. We also bought drinking water and whatever else we needed from the 7-Eleven on the ground floor of the hotel. Aircon is cold, and there's a ceiling fan as well. There's a little bar with hangers where you can hang up some clothes. Also, there's no phone in the room. They have an app you can download to chat with the staff if you have any requests, I guess. There's a phone near the elevators that you can use to call the Front Desk. There's a big flat screen TV that has all the basic cable channels, including CNN and the Asian Food Channel. There's FREE WIFI and the internet speed is pretty decent but won't win any speed awards. SUMMARY At this price range, I think this is the best option for a budget hotel stay within the heart of Makati. If all you need is a clean, safe, affordable place to stay in Makati, I'd recommend the Red Planet Amorsolo. I would stay here again if I ever needed a place to stay in Makati -- this is now Option #1 if stranded in Makati. Rainy days are coming, you know. Better to bunk here for the night with friends or officemates, where it's safe and dry, than go through 8-hour traffic or epic floods trying to get home. It is run professionally, with young staff who are educated and professional. If I didn't know it was a hotel, I would have thought that it was one of those popular, expensive gym chains! The place is clean, new, well-lighted and feels safe. There's also a guard at the front who will help you out with parking and what not. It was the total opposite of what I expected the hotel to be (I expected it to be cheap-looking and dirty).

There were 2 pairs of slippers to walk on the floor, which was nice because the floors are tile. The bed was kinda hard, but we only stayed 1 night, as the airline put us here due to a delayed flight. Checking out was quick and easy. This is a decent place to stay for one night, or if you are only using it to sleep in and going out during the days.

The aircon worked wonderfully, they had enough cable channels, and the wifi was very fast (which can be hard to find in Manila.) All the staff were friendly and if you ordered a GrabCar or Uber I liked how the guys up front would take note of the license plate and car make. You can relax in the lobby and they'll let you know when your car arrives.

It is near a shopping mall, which means it is just a few yards away from basic necessities, including varieties of food to indulge in. Upon entering, the lobby welcomes with quietness, cleanliness and tranquil mood. Just what I like--a place to get away from the disorders and the undesirables. Did I mention this place was clean? Hotel has a pool, a small one, up on the roof; has a small weight room. Parking is probably the downside on this hotel. I noticed that on booking websites, they would label hotels (in the Philippines) as "free parking", but forgetting or ignoring the specifics like: is there really a SUFFICIENT parking lot or space to accommodate its guests? Or is it "free" because it is partly, if not wholly, street parking? Although I had no issue about parking with Amelie, this might be a problem to some. What I saw as available parking spaces were the 5 or 6 spaces in front of the edifice--first come, first served type of thing. The hotel has friendly staff. No problem there, too. They even would've allowed us to have a late check out until 2 PM, no additional charge. That was nice of them. Price was fair. I wouldn't mind staying here again.

Chicken Cesar was very good, decent amount-of chicken and just the right amount of dressing. The cheese burger was good as well. But if you have the time hit the sage grill for the Wagyu burger, much juicer and actually cheaper. Sage Bar... Nice interior and again super friendly and attentive staff. Wagyu burger with fries was very good. Cooked perfectly and was very juicy. A solid choice. I thought the burger was good but the pork belly was just as good. The apple marmalade was a great addition. Circles... Very large buffet that had all kinds of options. We usually went for breakfast but everything from eggs to sushi fish head and some regional dishes.

The location is near nice shoping and dining destinations. Some negatives.. Overall the hotel restaurants are too expensive . Shangri-La, you already got me with the room rates so let up on the dining prices. I suggest skip the fancy seafood buffet. It was ridiculous how you need to order a tiny lobster one by one and wait something like a half hour for it to be cooked. If you are a drinker like I am, stay away from the lobby piano and bar area. Service was too slow, drinks aren't stiff enough and the prices are too high. The swimming pool is on a roof which sounds cool but the sun was blazing hot. Not enough shaded seats. For that matter not enough seats in general. Also the cement around the pool is extremely slippery when wet. I slipped and almost threw a hip out trying to regain my balance. Be careful.

Toiletries include toothbrush, toothpaste, shower cap, hair band, finger nail file, small round cotton and cotton pad and comb. If you want your towels replaced, you place them in the bathtub. Bathtub and shower are separate, but the bathtub is little old looking so I didn't use it. They also have shampoo, moisturizer and liquid soap in the shower, and disposable house shoes. Sheets and pillows are clean and soft. They also offer robes.

Desks with old wooden squeaky drawers, an air conditioner with a mind of its own, no DND indicator at the door, and a faucet controlled by two knobs that need constant fine tuning throughout the shower. The check-in and check-out process seemed to take forever, and I can't imagine what it would be like during peak season when they're likely slammed. It's not all bad though. I think it's nice that they use Malin+Goetz products in the bathroom. And the bed itself seemed the one new contemporary thing in the room, which made for a comfortable sleep. The breakfast selection was decent, and a complimentary welcome drink was a nice touch.
