Upon check-in I am warmly greeted by the front desk clerk, who quickly and efficiently checks me into my standard room on the 8th of 16 floors.

This is my first time to stay at a Seda-branded hotel, and this stay is certainly a great introduction to this brand.

The room is a good size, with shower-only in the bathroom, large king-sized bed, and work desk. The TV is a little challenging, and doesn’t seem to want to work.

I request an iron and board, and as I use it, burn my pants having realised the iron is stained. I call reception and they quickly organise it to be cleaned and pressed free of charge in time for work the next morning.

My room includes breakfast and it is indeed a great spread. Each morning I enjoy many Philippine delicacies, as well as many different types of local and western breads.

There is a pool and gym, which I use each day, and both are clean and modern.

All in all a very pleasant stay.
