Networld Hotel Manila - May 2010”

We really like the Networld Hotel. The food was well prepared and the service was excellent Monday through Thursday. Friday was a little "off the mark",for the breakfast buffet, but still not bad. The room attendant was very nice and was helpful. The waitresses in the restaurant are all very nice and helpful. All the front desk personnel were polite, helpful and very pleasant to deal with. The hotel is in real need of general maintenance, but it is very clean. The "Japanese theme" is in my opinion a little over done and many ways excludes other preferences, but is still an enjoyable experience. Overall, my wife and I agree that we would not hesitate to stay ate the Networld again. In fact we are planning another trip to Manila some time in July and intend on making reservations at the Networld again for that trip. We hope that the remodeling of the restaurant on the second floor will be complete by that visit.

Well Located and Mostly Comfortable Hotel”

This was our first time staying at Networld. We've typically stayed at Hotel Jen/Traders down the road. I chose it mainly for the location, which was great, and the cheaper price. The hotel picked us up from airport twice, and we took the shuttle to the airport twice. When there is no traffic, the journey doesn't take long in either direction. We had bad traffic one of the times from the airport, and it took five times as long. The hotel looks and feels a bit old and worn, but it was still comfortable and mostly well-kept. The rooms are large enough, and the bed in the deluxe room is massive. Shower and hot water were good. The staff are great. They were very accommodating when we wanted to change rooms and with other requests we had. There is free wi-fi in the room, and it worked pretty well. We set up and updated a new iPhone through the wi-fi, and it didn't take too long. I was pleasantly surprised. The food in the two restaurants was good and there were a variety of options. The breakfast buffet in the morning was sufficient. I was mostly Asian/Japanese fare, probably because of the large Japanese clientele the hotel gets. Room service was efficient, also. The spa and sauna are fantastic. It's a great add-on if you get the booking that includes the sauna. My only complaint is the road noise. This is the reason we changed rooms two times. Regardless of how high and far back in the hotel we moved, the road noise was still bad (loud motorbikes and sirens). It's mainly because there are single-pane windows installed. If they installed double-pane, soundproof windows, it would probably be ok. Even though all other aspects of our stay were very good, this noise issue could prevent us from staying again. If the hotel can replace the windows with soundproof windows, it would probably become our go-to Manila hotel.

Great Hotel with excellent customer service”

from the very first moment we stepped out of the taxi we were greeted and made to feel very welcomed to their hotel. the rooms were exactly what you see on the photos they supply. the resturant there not the best but only short walk to the heart of pasay centre with many places to choose from. the customer service at the hotel really was brillant and i would definately stay there again when i return. thanks to networld hotel workers excellent service...

ใกล้สนามบิน”

a boutique hotel where business and leisure travelers will enjoy the facilities of a standard yet exceptional hotel with authentic, personalized japanese service… a perfect blend of eastern hospitality and western architecture. networld hotel is strategically located at the heart of the metro, along roxas boulevard. it is approximately a 20 minute drive from the international and domestic airport. this japanese boutique hotel is also conveniently located near the japanese embassy, makati business district, commercial establishments like the mall of asia, and historic sites of manila like picc, ccp, world trade center, folk arts theatre, intramuros and rizal park.

Well Located Hotel with Good Amenities”

This was our second time staying at the Networld hotel. The location is great and the price is reasonable. The King bed in the Super Deluxe room is huge, having plenty of real estate for 3 people (husband, wife, baby). There are doing some renovations of some floors. Because of this, we were told we had to move rooms on our last night. There is only one non-smoking floor, which is on the sixth floor. If you want to be on a higher level to have less street noise, you will have to take a smoking room, unfortunately. The only complaint is that the street noise can be a little loud regardless of which floor you are on. Windows aren't double paned. The sauna in the hotel is great. There is also a casino and two restaurants that serve up pretty good food. Free Internet is sufficient.

Exceptional Value”

This first stay at Networld left us very impressed. Apparently Networld acquired and renovated an established hotel, and achieved a new higher standard for the traveler. Bet the big name ala carte chain hotels are highly envious of Networld's customer satisfaction at a fraction of the cost. We found no hotter water anywhere in our Philippine travels, and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. Networld management may have a contest running for employees to bend over backwards in offering unparalleled customer service. Highly recommend!

Well Located Hotel with an Awesome Spa”

We've stayed at Networld a few times. Obviously, we keep coming back. The main reasons for coming back are: the huge bed in the Super Deluxe room (we have an infant sleeping with us, so we all can spread out); the great location; the super friendly and competent staff; free airport pick-ups and drop-offs; a reasonable price for the location, and the great spa. No hotel is perfect, so this hotel has issues. One issue is the road noise. I do have to use ear-plugs when sleeping, even having a room on a high floor. The Internet is not reliable and tends to be slow. The things we like about the hotel outweigh these negatives, so we keep going back. We will stay there again.

TOP SERVICE”

My wife and arrived from ho chi minh 4:30 am front desk officer EYA met us at Bay 7 she was very polite and concerned since we we were waiting for the van to take to our hotel. When we arrived at the hotel we were given a one time courtesy to check in early (which is not supposed to be since it was 6 hours before the original check in time) We looked tired and sleepy. They (Networld) did not charge us half day rate thanks to honneylyn. Ramon was very courteous in bringing our bags to the Van. Looking forward to our next trip to manila. Worth our time and stay

Japanese style hotel with spa in the city”

the hotel was in the corner of big main avenues so easy access to malls,airport,restaurants.The morning buffet is good.There is a spa in the hotel but you have to pay extra fee.The spa was not crowed and wasn't dirty.there was a sauna too.Mostly foreign customers were using the spa.The lobby was small but the staff were nice. The casino is old.there were many old slot machines.few guest were playing.So,we went to other hotels to play casino.We took a taxi and it took few minutes. We stayed for two nights.My sister and her children were able to come to my room and visit us.

Networld May 17/18”

I got a room (smoking allowed). I love hotels which are less "bawal" rules. Bawal is a Tagalog word for prohibited. In Manila, too many "bawals" in many hotels and they are like turn offs for me. Went Networld also last Dec 27/28. I'll definitely go there again if I got works/cases/meetings to do in the Manila City area. The Sauna is good - right temperature - right steam. Most sauna guests are fellow citizens of the Philippines - so dagger looks are common. Well, I am an Igorot (from Sagada, Mt Province) so I shrugg it off just to say/think "mind your own business"

a favourite hotel of mine! ”

once again I am pleased with my stay at networld hotel. i always enjoy my stay here. the rooms are comfortable, the food and service is fantastic and the free airport pickup and drop off are really convenient!

great stay.”

I noticed that a lot of japanese or chinese staying at the hotel. the fact its a japanese hotel?? was not the reason to like this hotel. My family and i had a great experience staying in their hotel. i hope they'll continue what they had started. I probably recommend networld to my friends and relatives.

Nice, clean hotel with very accommodating staff”

Networld Hotel is a very good accommodation especially to those who are attending a training at the nearby Philippine Trade and Training Center. It's just a walking distance. The hotel is (I supposed) owned by a Japanese national because of its motif. There is a nice free buffet breakfast and a free sauna (from 6am to 10 am).There is also a live musical performance(by a duet)starting at 8pm. The hotel staff are very courteous.

Diamond in the rough”

This is the fourth time I have stayed at Newworld. Having them pick you up at the airport and then drop you off is a great perk. Their location is close to the MOA (Mall of Asia)less than p100 taxi fare. Getting a cab is no effort because their front door attendents do that for you. Using Agota to book the room saves about 40%. There is also a casino and spa. Nice place for the price.

Generally ok so we extended our stay.”

Commending your staff, Russell, Queencell, the airport transfer driver, your housekeeping staff. I also enjoyed your buffet breakfast, and nice food in your Japanese and Italian restos. I only got upset once last July 7 morning when your Frontline staff, is the name Roselle or Rochelle who was more friendly with foreigners than locals. She seemed irritated when I inquired on airport transfer schedule because instead of listening to me, she kept on pointing to the list of schedules. She told me 3 x "kaya nga Ito pinapa kita ko sa yo, 3:30 ang first sked.". That is why I replied to her that " are you being irritated by your customer?. Somehow her tone changed a bit. What I just inquired was if the airport transfer could not cover my early morning flight, can they help me get a cab. Maybe she may just improve her listening skills and also offer equal treatment to both foreign and local guests. Anyway, even with the rude treatment, I still decided to book again at Networld on July 14-17.

Good service, but no wifi access in rooms”

I attempted to stay at the Networld Hotel last week, and was assured by the front desk staff at this hotel that they would have working internet access in all their rooms. After checking in, and going to my room on the 8th foor, I found out that the wifi did not work. The hotel then told me at that time they only had wifi on the bottom floors of the hotel, and not in the upper story rooms. They also did not have any rooms closer to the wifi routers, so I had no alternative but to check out the same day I checked in due to business requirements and need for internet access. You would think that "Networld" would have working wifi, but don't be fooled, they don't at this time.

Very Satisfied”

Except for the location Networld Hotel is an excellent hotel. I will recommend anytime! At the special value price I received you could never go wrong! As per regular price perhaps a bit high.

Networld 7/18 - 7/19”

Networld remains my favorite if I happen to be in d Capital. My Palawan trip was too stressful - and the sauna attached to hotel is a perfect relief

Good location....needs updating”

I stayed at the Networld Hotel with my wife on a last minute trip to the Philippines due to her Dad's passing away. I only stayed one night on arrival in Manila, and one night before departure. I like the convenience to the airport, especially with the airport shuttle service. It's free for arriving parties, and free for departure, as long as you're going at specific times. The hotel itself is just Ok. It really needs some serious cleaning. The AC in the room was not working too well. As I looked at the unit I noticed the filter screens were really dirty/clogged, so I took them out and cleaned them, which helped, but the unit itself needs to be maintained. The staff were a highpoint of the hotel, always friendly and courteous. I accidentally dropped one of their room glasses, which broke on the tile floor. I thought they would just replace...accidents happen, but they charged me 100 pesos for it...a bit expensive for a glass!!

Comfortable hotel with such friendly staff.”

once again i am satisfied with my stay at networld. service is fantastic and getting picked up and dropped off to the airport as part of their service makes it so easy. always an enjoyable stay.
