MaxStays-Max Pavilion @ The Venice Residences — Hotel in Taguig

High number of foreign workers from China who go in and out of the building. Looks like an Asian expatriate neighborhood, with schools for different Asian nationalities. There is hardly any westerners in this area, compared to other parts of Makati. There are also a few US or international firms nearby.

You can find significantly better service at hotels in the city area for about the same price, especially the ones near Glorietta Mall and the surrounding area. The guard at The Venice is a stickler to making guests entering through specific lobby doors he is guarding, and exiting at a different door about 10 feet, even though it is obvious that both sets of doors open both ways. Walking past other condos in the area showed that they were not guarded as zealously as this one, and guests were free to walk in and out using whichever doors they prefer.

Check-in service was okay but took too long to be processed. They also scrimped on the bottled water, coffee and a few of the free items. Only 2 coffee capsules were provided per day for a room for 2 guests, and if you only took 1 capsule, they replaced only 1 instead of providing 2 the next day.

Netflix was a plus. The room looked nice and cozy. Perfect for a weekend getaway.

They also offered to wash and iron our clothes for free, but instructions on how to do that were not forthcoming, despite being asked more than once.

The gym was small (only a few treadmills, and less than three other machines). No weights. And since the facilities were not clearly labelled and there was no signage whatsoever, guests must wander and approach different buildings, looking for the facilities.

There are limited food choices within the building. Just MaxDelights, which looks empty every time we walked past it. There are more restaurants around the corner (about 5 minutes’ walk) at the Venice Grand Canal Mall, but you would need to know your way to find them. The mall itself has a variety of food, but the Indian food near the restaurant was bad. The cinema proved a welcome...

It was great experience, the facility is great and clean..great location.very close to Cyber Sigma. And the staff is great...they make you feel this place as a home away from home. (Annabell,Janet and Josephine, Lovely and so many others entire team)shows great attitude and all of them helped me with everything I needed. Janet and Annabel became like my sister and God bless them. They became like my family and will miss them for sure. Thank you very much. Difinitely I'm coming to same place next time I visit manila again..service is very good. Even at midnight if you call, they respond quickly and attend to all request. I stayed for four weeks and my stay was so comfortable. Highly recommend this place. Their rooms have all facilities needed for a pleasant stay. Thank you to...

I stayed at max stays for 4 months for work. It was my home away from home! Extremely comfortable accommodation with all the provisions. What made the stay so memorable was the staff! Annabelle and Janet ensured that my stay was smooth- their service is impeccable! A special shout out to Ethel who helped me with all my requests. ||The location is great- it’s walking distance from Venice mall and several restaurants nearby.||The only reason I am rating this a 4 star is because I had water trouble due to a faulty geyser and some confusion with the water bill payments which was resolved the same day.||Thank you Janet, Annabelle...
