Every summer vacation, if budget allows it, our family picks a hotel where we would want to spend a night and try the pool. We had stayed on several hotels already and from experience, we can amply say that Manila indeed have nice hotels and most of them are family friendly.
Last Mother’s Day, it was quite a unique experience because for the first time, well here in the Philippines, we have stayed overnight in a hotel with my mom and dad in law. The Linden Suites sponsored an overnight stay for the heads of Mommy Bloggers Philippines and each of our families stayed in one of their two-bedroom suites. Let me tell you a quick recap of our overnight stay in this beautiful hotel.
Location
The Linden Suites is located right in the heart of Ortigas Center.
Megamall and Shangri-la are just a few minutes cab ride away.
Address: 37 San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, Manila, 1600 Metro Manila, Philippines
We arrived at the hotel several minutes after the earliest check-in time which was 3PM. It was the day before Mother’s Day and so the lobby was a bit busy because of the families who were checking in. We say families of 2 with their babies, bigger families with their senior parents, and we also saw some group of young people checking in. It didn’t take us long before we were assisted to our room, room 2003.
Sala, Dining and Kitchen
We were impressed with the space.
This photo shows the sala and it’s already enough to accommodate all of us.
The dining table (on the left side, partially hidden) fits only the 4 adults.
The 2 kids can still fit since they are still not that big.
A wide window with the view of Ortigas is available in the sala and both of the rooms
Window view at the sala.
Window view inside our room.
Night time view at the sala.
Kitchen
The kitchen complete with refrigerator, microwave, induction cooker, range hood and cooking utensils.
This is a complete kitchen with the rice cooker, and all the other stuff you need if you want to cook.
They even have dish washing liquid and foam!
Water heater for coffee and free coffee in sachets are usual in hotels, but in The Linden Suites, they have the coffee maker plus coffee grounds to use. Loved our brewed coffee in the morning after.
Bedrooms
We were provided an extra bed for the kids, but the girls of course loved to stay on our bed.
The cabinets are huge and there are lots of shelves to put our things.
Pillows: I don’t think there will be any hotel which can beat our pillows at home. Not that the pillows in The Linden Suites aren’t soft. They are just like the pillows on the 5 star hotels we’ve stayed. However, the comfort of our pillows at home is maybe based on their smell and the familiarity. No wonder we’ve seen some of the guests’ kids bringing their own pillows.
Cozying up come night time.

Wow, that looks like an amazing place to stay! I would love to stay there.
What a nice hotel room! I love that it has a convenient kitchen area and is big enough for your family. Getting a night away locally is sometimes just what you need!
That view is spectacular. Nice hotel.
You pretty much had anything you could possibly want in the room. What a lovely place to visit and a lovely view.
what a great post I love the pictures and the chance to visit a place Ive never been.
nice. not the usual hotel. whenever we travel as a family we also wanted a room with some kitchen facilities. Kids normally would ask for food in an expected time that needs reheating 🙂
Looks like a very nice property. I’m sure the entire family had a very nice time, great views too!
Looks very nice! This is pretty close to where my brother lives. I’ll definitely let him know about it! Thanks!
Looks lovely. Thanks for a window into Manila 🙂
Beautiful citylights! I bet it looks better during the New Year
Woah. I have never checked in yet to Linden Suites but your review makes me want to go and experience the fun suite!
I like Hotels with small kitchen wherein you can cook your own food. Great review, Lani!
We’ve never been to Linden Suites but based on your review it does look like a great place for a staycation.
That’s a big room. But I want a hotel with a view of the beach though hehe. 🙂
I always see this whenever I pass by Ortigas. They have a big room. I will definitely consider this when we plan our next staycation.
Looks like a great hotel. I like a hotel with a kitchen.
The place looks so elegant. I might consider a staycation here.
The kitchen looks beautiful, this hotel is worth a stay. Thank you for sharing
Lovin the hotels in Manila too 🙂 Can’t wait for my staycation yay!
Thanks for sharing this, will add this to my list.
This suit looks amazing. You had an amaZing view and I like that the kitchen is nicely equipped
Nice! You definitely had a well-spent happy mother’s day! 🙂
Hey .. How sweet you are in the bed photo..
It’s nice to have a good time at the mother’s day 🙂
We do that too – find hotels with a really nice pool (preferably in the summertime and one that is 6 feet or more) and stay there. We used to have a favorite that was open 24 hours but then rotten apples spoiled the fun, and they had to change the policy.
Looks like a good staycation venue!
