Holiday Staycation At Novotel Manila

CUBAO is one of the oldest shopping destination in Manila. Ali Mall, Isetann, the Marikina Shoe Expo, SM Cubao, Farmers Mall and Market are just some of the favorite-to-go places. What a delight to see major changes in the area. BPO and condominium rising, shopping centers modern and chic plus the opening of the biggest hotel in Cubao, Novotel Manila.

Novotel boast about their soft and fluffy pillows especially created for all AccorHotels. The Ibis pillows and mattresses provide comfort during respite. The size of the bed could accommodate even foreign visitors.

The colorful and modern-design bed frame deserves a mention. It even matches the window curtain and couch. We like how well-lighted the room, there’s no need to open the lighting fixtures during day time. Every room has separate toilet and bath equipped with hot and cold rain shower. The bathroom is see-through but it has electronic curtain for privacy. Natural soaps and shampoos are specially made for Novotel and these are imported from Paraguay.

There’s so much you can do when staying at Novotel Manila. We enjoyed day and night swimming at the adult pool located at the 5th level. The hotel gym will also open soon, they offer a temporary fitness center for your daily exercise routine though.

Shopping malls are just a few minutes walk from the hotel. If you’re looking for wide-array of good food, dine at the hotel’s buffet restaurant, Food Exchange. They serve Filipino, Asian, French and Chinese cuisine. Or perhaps enjoy light snack at Novotel’s Gourmet Bar.
