Crimson Hotel Filinvest City Manila

We truly had such a lovely time during our overnight stay at Crimson and my family enjoyed every moment of it. This hotel is such a gem, affordable yet packed with value. It has the biggest pool in the area, offers more dining and café options within the building, and still comes at a more budget-friendly price compared to others nearby. The lobby is also more spacious than most, and while it doesn’t get much natural light, the gorgeous interior design more than makes up for it. We arrived a bit earlier than the check-in time but Patricia at the reception desk welcomed us with the warmest smile. She was so helpful, accommodating, and just radiated positive energy throughout the check-in process which gave us such a great first impression. Our room was spacious and comfortable for a small family. While it didn’t have a bathtub, something we usually look for, I appreciated the thoughtful details like railings throughout the bathroom making it more accessible for people with disabilities. The only thing to watch out for is that the tiles get quite wet since there’s no full partition between the toilet and shower. My son actually slipped once so I’d suggest asking for extra rubber mats to make it safer as the one provided is a bit small. On the plus side, there were plenty of electrical outlets which was super convenient. Location-wise, you can’t go wrong as it’s close to malls, restaurants, and convenience stores, making everything you need just a short walk or ride away. Overall, Crimson ticked all the boxes for us in terms of amenities, location, and value for money. We’re already looking forward to our next stay.

Everything Nothing

We spent the New Year at Crimson Hotel, one of the few options available in Metro Manila for the transition from December 31 to January 1. Having carefully evaluated the location, amenities, facilities, and child-friendliness, we were pleasantly surprised by the value for money, especially considering it was peak season. Traveling as a family of four—including two children under five—this hotel turned out to be an excellent choice. The location was favorable for us, as we came from Quezon City, with nearby malls providing convenient options for our dining needs. Upon arrival, I noted the cleanliness of the hotel; our room was well-kept and inviting. Although check-in officially starts at 3 PM, we were fortunate to gain access to our room at 2 PM. The complimentary coffee and tea were satisfactory, and I particularly appreciated the pitcher and water refilling station located conveniently on our floor. The amenities exceeded our expectations. The lobby was beautifully decorated for the holiday season and was a hit with our children. Although the space is somewhat small, the layout maximizes every corner effectively. We ordered our New Year’s meal from the hotel's restaurant and café, and every dish was delicious, earning high praise from the kids. The hotel features a child-friendly pool complemented by clean restrooms and showers, making it an enjoyable experience for families. The roof deck bar was a convenient spot to unwind; we even received a complimentary drink during our stay (try their raspberry mocktail). While we had initially chosen a buffet area that was fully occupied, the hotel promptly arranged an alternative near the lobby, which was well-stocked and accommodating. One of the standout elements of our stay was the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. We encountered no inconveniences, thanks to the promptness and courtesy of the front desk. The guards and concierge were equally pleasant, creating a welcoming environment. The personnel at the café, bar, and restaurant exhibited a level of attentive service that was reassuring, particularly with children. It was evident that the staff were genuinely trained to be accommodating and courteous, even beyond the holiday rush. Overall, our stay at Crimson Hotel was incredibly convenient, with a perfect blend of location, comfortable accommodations, excellent amenities, and delicious meals—all in one place to celebrate New Year’s Eve. We left with fond memories and a strong desire to return for another family getaway.
