Hotel Review: Nobu Hotel – It’s not a hotel, it’s your home!
Nobu Hotel: It’s not a hotel, it’s your home!
Being fond of staying in hotels for leisure, I always look forward to a hotel that provides almost everything close to what you’ll find at home. It always has been my expectation to look for almost everything while staying in a hotel. Luckily, Nobu Hotel is just the right place. With hassle-free services and experience that is on par with everything exquisite, Nobu Hotel would definitely ring a bell. The internationally-acclaimed Japanese Chef truly embodied class and sophistication to his brand. It is class personified.
When I, together with some of The Other Bloggers, stayed here for the Blogapalooza event, our expectations were exceeded. With the almost flawless service of their staff, our stay was one of the most comfortable ever. Read more here about what we experienced in our ‘home.’

Verdict: 10/10
Nobu Hotel is one of, if not, the best hotels I have been to so far in the Philippines. Being a newbie travel blogger, my expectations were exceeded and the experience is one for the books. With its superb services, amenities, and facilities, I can say its better than my home (actually!) The WiFi connectivity is extremely fast, too, wherever you are in the hotel. the rooms are spacious and can fit up to five people. Aircon is generous and the overall ambiance is just a perfect 10.
The place is an attraction on its own and there are several spots where you can enjoy the day, too. The Dream Play Corner, “The Boulevard,” and the City of Dreams Casino are just some of the complex’s highlights. Certainly a day wouldn’t be enough to explore the whole of City of Dreams!
The impeccable and neat services and warm smiles of the staff is what got me in awe – very Filipino! This is the perfect place to have your R&R with your friends and family. It is appropriate for all ages no matter where you go!
