MANILA: My Review of Seda Hotel, Bonifacio Global City

July 30, 2023

MANILA:
My Review of Seda Hotel, 
Bonifacio Global City

LOCATION: Very good. It's very near good restaurants, shopping malls and offices. Everything you need is walkable from Seda Bonifacio Global City.

SERVICE::Check in was smooth and fast. We requested wine glasses and it arrived immediately. 

ROOM: The standard room was great in terms of cleanliness, spaciousness and amenities

However, I suggest that at least 2 bottles of water per person should  be given per day instead of just one. It's inconvenient asking for more everytime. 

The pillows are not that great and needs to be changed. 

There are no hand towels in the toilet. 

But the basic amenities that go with the standard room is sufficient for a comfortable stay. See photos below. 





















MY EXPERIENCE AT THE STRAIGHT UP ROOFTOP BAR AT SEDA HOTEL, BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE STRAIGHT UP ROOFTOP BAR AT SEDA HOTEL, 
BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY

If you want a romantic date or a place to hang out with friends, check out the rooftop bar at Seda BGC. The view is fabulous. There are lounge seats for two where you can view the sunset. There are tables and chairs for 4 if you're hanging out with friends. There's sofa seating for bigger groups. There's also a smoking area if you wish to smoke. Food and drinks are available to order.



We ordered a Cosmopolitan, a Manhattan and a Weng Weng together with some nachos. The drinks cost 400 php.

Nachos


The food and drinks are ok but nothing spectacular. People go there for the ambiance, the view and the conversation with their companions. The food and drinks are just a necessary accompaniment to it. The waiters were friendly and gave good service. But I would say this is more a before dinner or after dinner place to go

We stayed there for an hour then moved to another restaurant for dinner.
