Selah Pods Hotel Manila

The facilities work well for trainings and private events, with plenty of function halls, good AC, lighting and sound, and excellent staff service. There’s a cafe for food, a skybar for drinks, heated pools, a rentable private rooftop KTV, plus a spa and gym. The location is very accessible. A good choice for family or business events.

Breakfast was enjoyable, and the restaurant staff were very accommodating. The pool and jacuzzi heaters weren't working, though. When we arrived to check in, the parking attendant seemed impatient. He asked me to sign an elevator parking waiver even though I'd parked in front, then wanted us to pay immediately, and the amount was different from what we'd been told.

We enjoyed our stay, and the food and facilities were good. Most of the staff were very kind and helpful, which made the people at reception, Selah Loft, stand out for the wrong reason. When we asked to borrow utensils, they explained there was a charge, which would've been fine. But the receptionist said, “If you had bought them here, there wouldn't be a charge.” When we called with questions or for help, they sounded bothered and unwilling to assist. A shame, given how helpful the other staff were.

The room is simple but decent, and outside there are plenty of food options, including 7-Eleven and a bakery. This is a budget-friendly staycation near MOA, starting at ₱1,800 per night. The hanging pods are Instagrammable, and there's an infinity pool, pet-friendly rooms, a TV ready for Netflix, a rooftop bar and restaurant, and a rooftop activity area with a big swing, glass walk, hammock, giant tumba-tumba, jumbo Jenga and more. Parking is limited, and you can hear some noise from nearby rooms. They provide free earplugs for that.
