Horrible stay
Staying at zenrooms was nightmare. Room was dirty. Lights are broken. Toilet was nasty. There was no cups to use. Water boiler was broken. Bed wasn't comfortable. It was just so disappointed. It was terrible stay. I dedcided to change my hotel on my last night because i couldn't stay on that room anymore. So i spoke to the manager mayber they can return my last night money, but they refused. They said they will give me discount the next time i will visit. It's just funny after their service, their still thinking that i will book again. Overall room was nasty. Not worth it.

Let me start off by saying that Celine was amazing! She responded to my requests promptly and was very kind. The front door attendants were nice too. I guess I’m just used to staying at hotels that have 24/7 concierge and front desk check-ins. My room lacked toiletries and didn’t have a hairdryer or towels. Celine was able to provide me with towels after I requested for them. The bathroom tiles could use a bit more of a scrub but that’s just me being meticulous. I soooo wish the pool was open 24/7. I like the location because it’s in walking proximity to almost everything. Convenience store, grocery, mall, public transportation, and restaurant. My room also had a spectacular view. All in all my stay was pleasant. I felt safe and I had the bare basics.

Nice room and location
Rooms are nice. Location only short walk feom red-light district. Good working space and gym. Only negative is the pool because Sun shines there only for one to two hours since it's in the 4th floor and surrounded by other skyscrapers.

Not so happy
Bed on this unit is screeching bad everytime you move. It will surely wake up your partner. Got some roaches and flies. Reported to JR who took care of it but insects came back after a few days. Water from the shower leaks outside of the door.

Hard To Find
It was confusing for us and our driver to find because it’s not actually a hotel- it’s a condo complex with rooms that are managed by Zen Hotels. We didn’t see a Zen Hotels sign on the building anywhere. There is a guy that lives in the complex that acts as a manager, so there isn’t actually someone at the front desk to check you in, they call this guy and he comes down to greet you. He gave us his phone number in case we had any questions or problems. The pool was being fixed while we were there- and the pool was the reason we booked this room, so that was a little disappointing. There is a rec room, a gym and a movie room that we were able to use if we wished. The room had a good view, there is a mall down the street, less than a minute walk away.

Poor service overall. Nice little condo.
Good area. Right next to shopping mall. Amenities in the building are very good. This is run as a third party Condo in the Knightsbridge building. Unfortunately when leaving ZEN Knightsbridge the manager was not able to be contacted so they kept my 2000 pesos deposit. Took 3 days many phone calls and texts just to receive it back. Very frustrating experience. Small room and small “double” bed too unfortunately. Would go back if service improved.

My Stay at Knightsbridge Residences Makati
I stayed here for a week following out-patient surgery at the nearby Centuria Medical Makati. This was a perfect location for that purpose, Fully equipped studio apartment with very close not only to the medical center, but also shopping, restaurants, and so much more. This was definitely great value for money in a prime area of Manila.

Lack of maintenance
If you arrive after 10 pm you cannot expect to be checked in, since this is not an ordinary hotel. Our room was very different from the pictures, with worn out pillows, damaged water sink, finger prints in kitchen and dirty walls and floors. The kitchen only has cups and plates, and no forks, spoons or knives. We got a new room the second night, which was slightly better. Swimming pool was quite cold, since it's in constant shadow from the tall buildings around.
