Recently, amidst the craziness brought about by the holiday season, I came into a point wherein I would willingly give out a limb in exchange of one night of relaxation away from everything that I was busy with. That time I knew I needed an escape. A break. Good thing that I was able to schedule myself to an overnight stay at the Makati site of the new and improved Fersal Hotel.

| FERSAL HOTEL in Neptune St. Makati |
Given the rather hectic schedule that I had and other tons of tasks at hand during that time, booking myself a flight somewhere far would spell irresponsibility. The proximity of Fersal Hotel in Neptune St. Makati from where I am residing is just enough for me to feel that I am far enough to have a breathing space from the usual, but near enough not to spend the entire time I have allotted for my escape on the road.
Since I was booked to an overnight stay at their Deluxe Double Bed Room I decided to tag along my cousin who I haven’t seen for quite a while. I deemed that it was perfect time to catch up over bags of chips while doing movie marathon inside our hotel room. It was just like the old times made special since Fersal Hotel provided us the comfort that made us feel at home. The comfort of your own home at the heart of the city, says the hotel’s tagline, and I agree.

Known for its decent, homey, and family-oriented image, Fersal Hotel’s recent upgrade in terms of rooms, facilities, and service is really impressive. But what impressed me the most is the affordability of their rates which are flexible depending on the location of the hotel. There are currently 6 Fersal Hotels in the Metro (P. Tuazon Cubao, Annapolis Cubao, Malakas Diliman, Kalayaan Diliman, Andalucia Sta. Cruz Manila, and Neptune Bel-Air Makati) and you may check the rates here.
It was my first time at Fersal Hotel and given the affordable price they offer I was honestly not expecting much. However, from the moment that I spoke to their reception personnel up to the time that we left the hotel completely satisfied, I was in such awe that we got one of the best accommodations to date. I am big when it comes to service, and Fersal Hotel is definitely one of those which impressed me the most.
The room that we got was equally impressive as their service. I love the homey feel to it which sort of reminds me of my own room. The smell of the entire room was really good. Repainted rooms comes with the recent upgrade of the hotel, and I am more than happy that there's no single trace of stench that was left. Good air-conditioning unit, comfortable beds, and impressive hotel quality mattresses aided me in having a relaxing sleep that I needed.
The mini refrigerator, electronic pot, bottled water, as well as complete complementary coffee and tea facilities were provided on the minibar. The closet was spacious enough for two person and it has safety deposit box for valuables.
Despite the simplicity of the comfort room, I appreciate the cleanliness and the good smell of it. Complimentary bathroom kit were also provided. Impressive good quality towels were also available for your hot or cold shower time.

While I was enjoying myself watching movies on the hotel's LCD TV, my cousin was raving about how fast their wi-fi service is. I vow to put my online life in a halt for that day but for the sake of trying the complimentary wi-fi that comes with our accommodation I tried connecting through mobile phones. Indeed, the connection was really fast it was tempting to go online until the next day, which I did.
After watching several movies on cable, exchanging stories, pigging out, and chatting with our other cousins online, we got ourselves a good night sleep and woke up the next day to a beautiful breakfast from Fersal Hotel's Cafe Inn.
I was planning to have a breakfast at the cafe located at the ground floor of the hotel, but I was really enjoying my time under the sheets so we decided to have the breakfast delivered to our room instead.
We had Inn Cafe's Beef Tapa Filipino Breakfast, Spanish Omellete with toasts, additional order of sweet ham, orange juice, and coffee.

It was a simple breakfast, albeit a satisfying one. I was impressed at how good their beef tapa was. There are only few restaurants which can satisfy my palate when it comes to beef tapa, and now Cafe Inn adds to the list. The beef was so tender and the push and pull of the savory and sweet taste of it calls for an extra garlic rice smothered with the golden yolk of a fried egg. It was heavenly. The Spanish omelet was good as well because it was perfectly seasoned and cooked to my liking.
After breakfast we still had time to enjoy the remaining hours of our stay. Before we checked out we took time to visit the Inn Cafe. It's fairly small but cozy and clean. I made a mental note to go back at the cafe to try some of their dishes, I heard that they serve mean creamy cheesy lasagna and chicken galantina. The cafe is open everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 6am to 10pm. Another services that they offer at the hotel are the convenience store and the spa and massage services.
While I am confident that I will still go back to Fersal Hotel in Neptune Makati, I am also curious in trying out their other branches especially their sister brand located at Cebu and Baguio City named Hotel Elizabeth. Maybe in my future travel, which I promise to share again with you.
