Had received good references for this hotel from some travelers a while back and thought that it would be a good place for my family of 7 to spend a month of our 3 month Philippines Trip in the Manila/Makati area. We found the hotel to be below 3rd world standards and not near as good as anyone has ever... More

We checked in and 30min later we checked out. Staff seems helpful but everything else was dirty, dark feels unsafe they have 4 locks on the door, seedy, just all in all bad. The reason i got this hotel was bcs it was in Makati and they had a special in Ensogo big big big Mistake. More

Me and fiance stayed for one night and had a very bad experience. Room - we booked for a studio-type room but when we came in, they transferred us to one-bedroom suite (no addtl price was charged). Inside this room, it was not pleasant, the room looks so old, and you can feel the floor's dirt. The smell was not... More

I tried this once, but after 2 hours, I just moved to City Garden, close in area. The room was dirty, it smells food every place in hotel, bathroom av "kitchen" was really crapped, The pool was made for 50 years ago, and I had no idea about to try it, it looks like it should been renovated at least...

I stayed at the Citadel Inn in September of 2010. This was my first visit to the Philippines and I was on a budget - I (honestly!) didn't know this hotel was in the "Red Light District" of Makati. Having said that, I never had any trouble from anyone in or outside of the hotel - just be wary of... More

Had the unfortunate experience of staying in Citadel on Feb 24th. Was in Manila Feb 23rd but didn't make any room reservations, checked into Manila Berjaya which had nice clean room and fast internet but bad service (enough, will detail on another thread) Berjaya only had one room for 1 night. Desperately seeked out Citadel in the internet with "reasonable"... More

I stayed here for two nights on a follow-up trip to Manila. I agree with other reviewers that the hotel is badly in need of renovation, the rooms are gloomy and need upgrading. The redeeming feature of the hotel is the competence and friendliness of the staff. Do not stay here unless you wish to partake in the nightlife of... More
