In-Depth Review
Prince Plaza II Condotel sits in the middle of Makati and lands the lowest starting rate in this guide — $37 a night for a room that runs larger than the average in its band. Combined review scores are 8.0/10 on Booking.com and 7.9/10 on Agoda. It's 700 m from Ayala MRT.
Rooms and decor
The rooms are condos carved up for daily rental, so they come out more spacious than a typical hotel room. A few include a small kitchenette with a fridge and microwave. Furniture and decor depend on each unit's owner, which means the experience can be uneven — reviews suggest asking for the most recently updated unit you can get.
Food and amenities
The building carries a gym and a sauna, which is hard to find at the $37 level, and a small pool opens during some periods. What you don't get is the daily housekeeping you'd expect from a hotel — this is condotel service, so the room is yours to keep tidy. The kitchenette in some units makes self-catering easy on longer stays.
Location and getting there
You're central in Makati, 700 m from Ayala MRT and a 15-minute walk to Greenbelt Mall — strong positioning for this price. Manila's NAIA airport is a 30 to 60-minute drive, roughly 7 km out, with the spread coming down to traffic.
Things to know before booking
This is a condotel, not a hotel, so service is basic and there's no daily housekeeping. Because each unit is furnished by its own owner, condition and style vary room to room, and some reviews note older rooms and an older building. Ask for a recently updated unit, and confirm the kitchenette if you plan to cook.
Our take
Prince Plaza II is for the budget traveler who understands a condotel isn't a hotel and is happy to trade hotel-grade service for a low rate and more floor space. It works best for longer stays of a week or more, where the central location, the gym and the sauna do the heavy lifting and the missing daily housekeeping matters less.

- Central Makati address, 700 m from Ayala MRT and a 15-minute walk to Greenbelt Mall, so you can skip taxis for everyday errands.
- A few units include a small kitchenette with a fridge and microwave, which helps on longer stays of a week or more.
- It's a condotel, not a hotel, so service is basic — there's no daily housekeeping and none of the front-desk extras you'd expect from a proper hotel.

Insider Tips
- Ask specifically for a recently updated unit when you book — furnishings vary by owner, so the newer ones are a noticeably better stay.
- If you'll cook, request a unit with the kitchenette (fridge and microwave); not every room has one, so confirm before you pay.
- This is built for longer stays — a week or more — so lean on the gym, sauna and central location rather than expecting hotel-style daily service.
