This was my first stay at Discovery Suites in Pasig City. I used to stayed at the EDSA Shangri-La so not sure what I am in for. Of course I was utterly surprised by the smiling greetings I got when I reached the hotel at 10:30pm after a delayed flight and an hour of traffic jam all the way from the airport to the hotel. I was put on 8th floor rooms which was newly renovated according to the front desk. I have not stayed there previously so cannot compare as I don't have a clue how the old rooms looked like. The room I have is the 1 bedroom suite. It has a Kitchen with microwave, a huge fridge which you can buy your own drinks to put in. A hob and hood and utensils. It is enough for a family of 4. There is a dining table and a living room with soft, mini-compo, DVD player and flat screen TV. in the bedroom another Flat screen TV, walkin wardrobe and a safe, a huge bathroom with bath tub and shower screen. The bedroom has 2-doublebeds! The price includes breakfast and wi-fi/internet in the room! I cannot ask for more!
The breakfast is on Restaurant 5 at level 5. Varieties can be improved. Service is immaculate. We had a business meeting using their meeting room on level 41 (highest floor) again the service is fanastic only thing is that if you want coffee and tea (which is inclusive) you have to request for it. They should consider putting a pot of tea and coffee in the meeting room so we can help ourselves. Lunch is again at Restaurant 5. We had the Thai buffet. Varieties again can be improved.
I will recommend this hotel for business and family as it is near the SM malls. Only downside is the traffic in Manila and the lifts to the room and to the business meeting rooms are very slow. Waiting time about 10 mins. I will stay there the next time I am in Manila.
