The experience at Edsa Shangri la was, as always exceptional. My third long term stay, it was as great as ever.

The breakfast service remained my highlight. Apart from the almost ridiculously-diverse spread, it was a couple of particularly friendly staff that made it for me and my colleagues - Rico the omelette guy made me my favourite each morning before I even approached, and Lawrence who attentively waited our table most days, already eager and smiling. I hope both are there next time I stay.

The gym is similarly memorable, with an incredibly well-considered design, catering for all gym tastes and needs. The staff there were quietly helpful and the classes were great.

The Lobby bar was an equally civilised place to relax or quietly complete work, although the staffing here were inattentive making ordering a very timely and frustrating ordeal.

The overall feel of the place is one of calm, an oasis completely divorced from the huddle-bustle of Manila outside.
