I stayed here for several months as an American Expatriate. I have a lot of Philippines travel tips at. I'll cut to the chase, I had 4 inch long roaches in my room and ants everywhere - No matter how much the pest control sprayed, the problem would not go away. There were some days I would get off the elevator and roaches were dead all over the floor, probably from the pest control. This place is located in Salcedo Village, which if you're American, you won't feel safe - Salcedo to me is like the ghetto of Makati City. I would recommend staying at the Shangri-La or the Peninsula instead - I stayed at both and they were both incredible. The breakfast buffet at this Somerset is a joke and there is really nothing great expect the eggs, which at times just didn't taste right. There are only 2 elevators to accommodate the 30+ floors and no service elevators ? I'm not kidding you will stop at almost every single floor on the way up or on the way down to pick up someone on the hotel staff. One of the elevators kept breaking and you could spend nearly 20 minutes getting to your room ? Oh, and don?t take the stairs because the doors are locked from the inside. The views of the city however are great, since it's on the exact edge of Makati. The rooms are very out dated, have old furniture and need a complete overhaul ? They are nothing like pictured. Oh, and the small dirty indoor 4ft deep pool is a joke, so is the exercise room with it's 1985 equipment.
