Review of Hilton Manila
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 18, 2024
I want to say I’ve been traveling with Hilton brand for over 15 years on business and this was my first time in Manila. This review is my pleasure to write for the Hilton Manila (Newport). The location is perfect for those that wish to get out and see the city of Manila but come back to a family/ welcoming hotel accommodation. Of course my experience was Diamond membership level but even going to the buffet on the 3rd floor was just a great experience.

Pat really stood out in the service area

In the Executive lounge the team was great and if you have the privilege to stay with them they will text your phone daily to ensure you have everything you need! 6-9pm every evening I met so many new friends and had great food and drinks. They actually serve lunch/dinner, not like some hiltons with only a few items.

My 2nd family
Franchesca- amazing/ smart/ funny
Angel- attentive/ beautiful person
Jaz - in the photo and so nice and helpful

One of my daughter's birthday wishes was for her cat to experience a stay at a hotel. While searching, we found that Hilton is a pet-friendly hotel, so we decided to make this special experience happen. No regrets at all.the entire stay was smooth from arrival to departure.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by a bellman who directed us to the front desk, located on the 3rd floor. The front office receptionist was incredibly friendly and accommodating. When we reached our room, we were pleased with the perfect location, offering a pool view. And guess what? our cat was thrilled,there was even something special prepared for her🐈😜

The Executive Lounge food was just right, with a balanced selection, and what I loved most was their special menu, which included rice dishes. I’d like to mention Piane, who was especially friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

We will definitely return to this hotel and look forward to experiencing more of what it has to offer.

This is my go-to hotel in MNL. It's in a very convenient location (walking distance from Terminal 3, adjacent to a mall with restaurants, etc.). Definitely world class- even better than Hilton Eur La Lama (no pool) or other Hiltons at top tourist destinations of the world. Though not as luxurious as Hilton Opera Paris, the Filipino hospitality more than compensate for the fancy lobby of the the French counterpart. The staff is wonderful- friendly, courteous and professional. The pool is crowded but large. Parking is free and secured. Executive lounge and suites are first rate. Fantastic breakfast buffet. Priced lower than Conrad but the amenities are at par. Can't find anything negative to say about this Hilton.

Room tip: Lobby is not at the ground level. Use the elevator or escalator.

It was an amazing experience for the family. The whole staff and Chefs in their Executive Lounge were all friendly and accommodating. The manager Miss Angel was very hands on and her staffs Cecilia, Francesca, Brigitte and EJ are the best people we've ever met. We will definitely come back because we were treated well. Thank you Hilton Manila for the unforgettable experience.

My wife was visiting the Philippines for an extended period to take care of her mother and siblings.

As a thanks for their hospitality, I arranged an overnight stay at the Hilton Manila for my wife and extended family.

My wife was happily assisted by Cecilia at the Executive Lounge. She was courteous and very helpful. Unfortunately, there was another female employee with long black hair, tall, and slanted-eye lady that was snarky, and my wife overheard her say inappropriate remarks about "Not assisting (our family name) anymore". She was then nugged by Cecilia to inform her that Cecilia was actually speaking with my wife infront of her already.

This made it very awkward, but my wife maintained her composure and just informed me of the incident.

This was the only tarnish and negativity unforgettable experience the whole 3 months my wife was in the Philippines.

Room tip: Hilton female employee with long black hair, tall, and slanted-eye lady that was snarky and bad attitude.

Dear Panama City T,

Thank you for sharing your recent experience, and I sincerely apologize for the disappointing interaction your wife encountered during her stay. While we're glad to hear Cecilia provided helpful assistance, it’s disheartening to learn about the inappropriate remarks made by another staff member. This is not reflective of the standard of service we strive to provide at Hilton Manila, and we will address this matter internally to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Please know that we take such concerns seriously, and we deeply regret any discomfort caused. We value your trust in choosing us for your family’s special stay, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide the seamless, positive experience that Hilton is known for.

Best regards,
John Lucas
