We stayed at the executive suite as an anniversary gift. The room was spacious, the stereo and television were updated. The bedroom is just right. The bathroom grand! What can I say, it's an executive suite!
Diamond hotel is one of the "original" hotels in the Roxas Boulevard area. I remember it had a reputation as being one of the posh hotels in the 80's. So now it is a "senior" hotel. I believe they have updated the lobby, pool area and restaurants. The buffet was grand and included several cuisines in the menu.
The staff was friendly and helpful and honest! I actually forgot my blackberry in the room and when I called to check the next day it was reported to have been promptly surrendered the same day we checked out. I claimed it untouched and untampered. Absolutely wonderful.
I have to say that I wish they would change the carpet because there were wine stains in some areas and the couch in the Exec suite was not that comfortable.
Never the less I think Diamond Hotel has maintained its stature in Manila as one of the top hotels. You will not be disappointed.
