I often wondered whether any 'reviews' are fair as often people only comment following a bad experience. However I read many reviews on the Linden Suites beore I booked and everything other customers have commented on is very accurate. I have returned to th UK after spending 6 nights in a three bedroom suite, the suite was extremely spacious and very clean. The location was very good and very near to the Mega Mall. The cafe at the back was a favourite spot, very cheap and great food. We didnt eat in the restaurant in the hotel (other than breakast) Breakfast was at times interesting, bacon scrambled egg, cottage pie, mashed potato and garlic rice. Hmmmmmm. You have to bear in mind that they are trying to cater for many different nationalities and on the whole they did this. The door staff and the security guy were lovely, always welcoming and helpful, unfortunatley this could not be said for the reception staff. Their Knowledge of the area or of Manila is very limited. They werent unhelpful but they certaintly wont win any awards for customer service. No where on trip advisor have I read about the 'spa' services that are available at this hotel. We all had fabulous massages and facials these services are available elsewhere locally but the higher cost at the hotel was worth it, much better ambience and overall experience. The ladies can come to your suite or room if you prefer. The most important thing for us was safety. This is why the Linden suites location was so good. We booked the hotels car to pick us up from the airport this cost 1800 pesos, we hired a street taxi back to the airport this only cost 200 pesos! DO NOT bother with the expensive daily/ weekly payable wifi/ broadband. totally usless and very expensive, better off going to starbucks or one of the many fast foods restaurants behing the hotel.

The one-bedroom suite was very spacious, clean, and attractive. The indoor pool looed good (but I didnt use it)

The suite claims to have a "fully equipped kitchen"! Well, the suite I stayed in had a micro wave and an electric cooker - but not 1 pot, pan, or any cooking utensils. When I asked room service about this, I was told such items are available for hire, 70peso/item (and per day?) - so much for the "fully equipped kitchen"! We also asked for 2 extra teabags for breakfast, and were proposed to pay 110peso for them - 55peso/teabag! These two items spoilt an otherwise nice place, and the company management might like to consider their approach to such matters. The aircon in the bedroom was very noisy, but didnt seem to cool very much.

Service and staff very good/helpful.
Rooms clean and reasonable size. As previously said cooking implements cost extra (toaster and microwave supplied).
Breakfast for westerners includes scrambled/fried/boiled eggs (ask for an omelet),sausage, pancakes, fruit, cereals and sometimes bacon. However, there is no toaster!
Go to the 7 Eleven behind the Linden to get your cheap mobile sim card.
Use the cafe at the back of the Linden for meals. The restaurant in the Linden is ordinary, price and food quality wise.
There is a Standard & Chartered bank nearby for ATM withdrawals. You will need to get directions to it.

I love that this place is walking distance from Shangri La and SM. However, it's just okay. The beds are comfortable. It's clean but some furniture and carpeting are a little worn. The outside windows needed a washing.

The breakfast is not good. With all the great cheap food in the Philippines, take a pass on breakfast. Plus I saw a roach on the table as I was getting a slice of bread. Not a fun way to wake up. Also, we went at mid-December and had the same cheesy Christmas CD on repeat. It was crazy-making.
