In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The rooms run on the international chain template — modern, plainly styled, clean and neatly arranged. They come in at standard 3-star size, the beds are soft enough, and the bathrooms are clean with hot water. Wi-Fi is stable throughout. There are no special tricks or design flourishes here, but everything works the way it should, which is exactly the Jinjiang promise.
Food and amenities
Breakfast is available for an extra charge, and reviews call the spread reasonably varied. Beyond that, the practical basics are all covered: a 24-hour front desk, air-con in every room and free Wi-Fi. This is a hotel built around function rather than indulgence, so do not expect a pool scene or a destination restaurant — expect things to simply work.
Location and getting there
The hotel sits in central Makati, 700 metres from Ayala MRT, and it is a 10-minute walk to Greenbelt Mall and Ayala Center. That makes it a solid base for exploring the shopping and restaurant district on foot, and the nearby MRT lets you skip Makati's traffic when you head further afield.
Things to know before booking
The trade-off here is character. The design is plain and lacks any distinct identity, and the service follows the standard chain script — competent, but without the personal attention a boutique would give. Breakfast is not included in the base rate, so add it at booking if you want it. None of this is a dealbreaker; it is just the honest shape of a value 3-star.
Our take
Jinjiang Inn Makati is the easy pick for business travellers and anyone who already knows the Jinjiang chain in China and wants the same clean, convenient, predictable thing in Manila. With reviews at 8.2/10, rates from around $80 a night and the malls a short walk away, it trades atmosphere for reliability — and for the right traveller, that is exactly the deal worth booking.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- You get the predictable Jinjiang chain standard — clean, tidy and convenient, with nothing left to chance. If you have stayed in the brand in China, this is the same experience in Manila.
- The Makati location is genuinely central: 700 m from Ayala MRT and a 10-minute walk to Greenbelt Mall and Ayala Center, so the malls and restaurants are all reachable on foot.
- It is good value for a 3-star in this part of the city, with rates opening around $80 a night.
- Rooms are clean and orderly with hot-water bathrooms and stable Wi-Fi — everything works as it should, even if nothing shows off.
- Practical basics are covered: a 24-hour front desk, air-con in every room and an optional breakfast for an extra charge that reviewers describe as reasonably varied.
- The design is plain and lacks any distinct character — this is functional chain decor, not a place you book for atmosphere.
- Service runs to the standard chain script and does not give the personal, attentive touch you would get at a boutique.
- Breakfast is not included in the base rate; you pay extra for it, so factor that in if a morning meal matters to you.

Insider Tips
- Walk the 10 minutes to Greenbelt and Ayala Center for dinner and shopping rather than booking a ride — it is the whole point of staying here.
- Ayala MRT is only 700 m away, so use the train for trips across the city and skip Makati's traffic.
- Breakfast costs extra, so decide at booking whether to add it or grab something at the malls a short walk away.
