The Sphere Serviced Residences Managed by HII

Great location. There's a Starbucks at the Ground Floor. Breakfast is served at the instagrammable George and Onnies' Filipino Restaurant which is also at the Ground Floor. The plated menu portions were rather small and there is no sides buffet, no salad bar, etc. Pool is nice. Gym is clean but the ventilation is not good. It smells dusty and moldy. Room has no bedside light switches which is rather odd. Shower area is small. Nevertheless, this hotel is ok. Things can be improved further though.

The room was so spacious that it was a problem (lol). It was located in an office district, so it was perfect for my business. I will use it again.

It's always a hassle-free and relaxing experience staying at The Sphere serviced residences. The staff are very attentive and friendly. They even remembered me from my last stay, months apart. If you have an embassy appointment around Salcedo, this is the best, budget friendly choice that does not sacrifice comfort and luxury. The booking comes with a free breakfast at the restaurant on the ground floor - George & Onnie's, which is managed by Wildflour. The free breakfast menu options are fantastic, and the restaurant also serves delicious pastries and other menu items that are not part of the free breakfast menu of your stay. A big plus to this establishment is the location - you are a walk away from the Ayala Triangle Gardens. Most European embassies are also situated around the area, and then there are nearby malls like Greenbelt and Glorietta. Traveling to and from the airport is also a breeze, usually about 30-40 minutes in Manila traffic.
