Bayleaf Restaurant & Bar Lounge

Staying 3 days here, compare to other hotels nearby this one is cheaper. check-in time was 3pm and check-out at 12pm. Very easy to get online taxi such as Indrive or Grab, but the traffic around is crazy during peak hours. Room was small but enough to put 2 suitcases, water station also available in front of our room 3211. Our return flight was at 11pm so we store our luggage at the security officer on check-out, going out and back to get it later. And also very easy to access fast food and restaurants around

I have been staying at this property for the last 3 to 4 years during all my business trips. It's centrally located in Makati and conveniently accessible to the different locations I need to travel to. So far, all my stays have been satisfactory in terms of the room, cleanliness, staff, breakfast, and the overall experience. However, my current stay, which is ongoing, will be my last at this hotel. For the past three days, I’ve been complaining to housekeeping about the very low water pressure in the shower and wash basin, but no action has been taken. Yesterday, I received a call stating that they would be changing my room because all the water pipes in my room are clogged and cannot be fixed. However, after the call, no one followed up, and nothing has been done. The hotel is also overcrowded, and there’s no place to sit for breakfast. You have to wait for 20 to 30 minutes to use the elevator, both going up and coming down. They also shut down the breakfast counter due to overcrowding. When I reported this to Rod, a staff member at the reception, he told me he would let me speak to the Manager. However, it appears the Manager was on holiday yesterday, and no action has been taken. It’s a definite 'no' for staying at this property, especially if you're here on a business trip and time is important. Yesterday, I ended up wasting an hour waiting for the elevator, which made me late for a business conference—the main reason I was in Manila for the week.

It's located at a corner of the very busy Makati Ave-Kalayaan intersection so there is a lot of traffic and associated noise. I'd say about 1/4 of the rooms here would be too close to the intersection and you'll hear the noise. I was repeatedly awakened on the first night and didn't get much sleep. I requested a room change and was moved to a room on a higher floor a little further away from the intersection. Finally could get some sleep. The breakfast buffet is only average and with most of it being local fare. I would not pay for room + breakfast combo if I stayed here again. I was asked for PHP2,000 deposit despite having paid ahead.

Breakfast Buffet is good. The coffee was also excellent because they have espresso. Room is clean & well-maintained. Location: The hotel's location in Makati is ideal, offering easy access to shopping malls, restaurants, and business districts. The Ayala MRT station is just a short walk away, providing convenient access to other parts of the city.
