We love staycation, my children are so happy whenever
I told them that we are going for staycation. My husband is so lucky when his
name called as a winner of an overnight stay at Citadines (sya na ang swerte sa raffle), and so we decided to use it for
Rhian’s 3rd Birthday.
I experienced hard time in booking this apart’hotel.
In fact, I followed all the steps in the voucher however, their customer
service didn’t accommodate our reservation in time. Imagine, I emailed them 1
week before our booking dates but I just got the confirmation 1 day before our
check-in. (Kung hindi pa magagalit asawa
ko at magsusumbong sa HR nila, hindi pa nila bibilisan ang pag rereserved ng
room sa amin.) I hope they improve the reservation process so that people
with complimentary vouchers will not experience the hassle like what happened
to us.
Citadines Apart’Hotel is managed by The Ascott
Limited, a member of CapitaLand. It is the largest International serviced
residence owner-operator with more than 290 properties in 100 cities across the
Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. It operates three
award-winning brands, Ascott, Citadines and Somerset. The location is perfect,
it is closely to Citibank Tower, Paseo De Roxas and Ayala Triangle and actually
near in our office that’s why we are familiar with the place and the
restaurants around the area.

Our check-in was a breeze; the staffs are attentive,
friendly and reliable. Our assigned room was at the 12th floor and you
need an access card which is also your door key to access guests’ rooms. Our
booking includes breakfast for two (at
The Frying Pan restaurant), we are expecting for a buffet breakfast but sad
to say they offer plated plates instead. Citadines are very strict when it
comes with the number of guests and please take note of this - strictly no
party allowed. (We should respect their
rules and regulations, as we have other neighborhood beside our room) so I
guess this rule is acceptable. Sino ba naman ang makakapag relax kung ang
katabing room nyo is super ingay. Right?
We were assigned at the Studio Room with 32 sqm.
The room is spacious, clean and very
refreshing because they put oil diffuser in the room. It has a queen size bed
with soft pillows and comforter, 2-seater sofa, flat screen TV with cable
channels, work and desk area, Wi-Fi, iPod docking station with radio, alarm
clock, telephone, in-room safety deposit box, iron and ironing board.
The room has a fully equipped kitchen such as cooker hob and hood glassware and utensils, microwave and mini refrigerator. The room is well ventilated as the air-conditioning has individual controlled thermostats.

Now let’s go to the bathroom, Citadines provides clean and soft towels and complete set of toiletries. There is also hair dryer and standing raining shower.
The infinity pool is located at 9th floor wherein you can enjoy the scenery of Makati while enjoying the Jacuzzi. We were not able to roam around the area as we need to prepare something for our mini celebration. I’m happy that the pool is now open upon our check-in. (The pool was close for 2 days for maintenance)

Over all, it really feels like home. Rhian told
us that she wants to have a house like this. Now, we already got some idea for
our future room because of this staycation. In fairness, namaximize nila ang
space kaya I love it.
Since this is a complimentary voucher which my
husband won last Christmas party raffle, I am not quiet sure how much it will
cost per night, but I believe that the price of the room is very reasonable and
affordable.
