Manila, Philippines Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Nice room , good housekeeping , and very friendly staff. Always someone there to open the door for us,,always a friendly greeting. I recommend this hotel, it may not be the most modern but it is very friendly place to stay.

in a word fabulous, I can not begin to describe how happy i was with this hotel - after the experience we had at another hotel in Manila, this is where I will return to time and time again.

I had a very pleasant stay. The staff was friendly and cheerful. I was given a warm welcome, a fruit juice to drink and a towel to freshen my face while they were filling my forms for me. The suite was huge and comfortable compared to what I was expecting and the breakfast was delicious. The only negative points I could find: Internet stopped working after an hour but I guess and I couldn't find how to turn off that light in the dresser. But I still think the hotel deserves a 5.

Stayed in Picasso for a week in a half. Great Staff, room always cleaned, and walking distance to many activities.

Very friendly and helpful staff, smiling faces and very good staff service

The entire area was clean, fresh and kept that way day after day that we stayed there. The human factor of service and friendliness were outstanding. It has been over a year since we stayed at B Hotel and almost each one still remembers me when I checked in over a year later. This makes one feel comfortably at home! I certainly would certainly recommend the hotel to my friends because I can back it up. Alicia Domingo-Carlos, Seattle, WA. USA

I am having a number of family emergencies right now and cannot write the kind of review that i would like to - however i felt obligated to say just a few words about how very happy i was with the hotel, its staff, and the wonderful food. It was beyond clean. The view was lovely. Some complained of the view, but the hotel clearly advertised rooms with views as opposed to those without views. I was staying so far from home, so i selected a room with a view. I loved watching the street come alive early in the morning. I loved sitting in the spacious dining room with the rising sun and the most delicious food. I highly recommend this place and if i ever travel to Manilla again, i will stay at the Bayleaf again. Let's see, can i say anything at all negative? I would ask that they include napkins on the coffee tray and possibly upgrade the TV remote control devices:)

Very comfortable rooms some with cooking facilities. Deli close buy and excellent supermarket in the mall. Not far to the airport. Highly recommend Geoff Australia

The room was clean and comfy, with a great view of the greenbelt area. Loved the cocktail hour and breakfast Buffett, the food was excellent and the view from the club area was just as spectacular. Our second night stay our air unit would not adjust which left us freezing, but the staff was great, they transferred us to a room that was equivalent to the room we had. The hotel is located in the PERFECT area with lots of eateries and shopping. Everything is within walking distance. I will definitely stay again and recommend this to anyone traveling to Makati.

The hotel was wonderful. Pricing was cheaper than I was use to. I am use to dealing with cheap places but the Armada was easy on pricing but such a nice place. The room was more than I expected and kept up daily. I would recommend it to anyone going to Manila.
