Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to VIP Suite Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the higher floors (above the 10th floor) for a quieter stay. The hotel's VIP Suite Hotel status suggests it may have a more solid construction, but the Evangelista Street address implies some city noise. Higher floors might also be closer to the elevators, but the 3-star rating and Makati City context suggest a relatively efficient elevator system.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the service entrance or adjacent to the bar may be noisier due to staff activity and evening events.

🪟

Best views

East-facing rooms (higher floors) might offer a view of the city skyline, while west-facing rooms could see the Makati skyline or nearby buildings.

😴

Quietest floors

10th floor and above

🔊 Noise notes

Street noise from Evangelista Street, potential noise from the service entrance and surrounding bars.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field

Getting Around

🚂
MRT-3 15

Taft Avenue MRT Station → Artina Suites Hotel (closest: Ayala or Buendia station)

20 min · Every 3–5 minutes during peak, 7–10 off-peak · 5:30 AM–10:00 PM

💡 Don't use MRT for airport trips—the only train link to NAIA is via the airport loop (P2P bus). But for getting around Makati, take MRT-3 to Ayala station, then walk 15 mins or take a tricycle to Artina Suites. Avoid peak hours (7–9 AM, 5–7 PM) as trains are crush-loaded.

🚌
NAIA Bus Terminal to Makati 20

NAIA Terminal 3 Bus Terminal → Makati City (Ayala Avenue stop)

45 min · Every 15–30 minutes · 5:00 AM–10:00 PM

💡 The bus runs via NAIA Expressway and stops along Ayala Avenue. From Ayala, take a short jeepney or Grab to Artina Suites (around 5 minutes). Bring exact change—the conductor hands out tickets.

🚕
Grab Car 250

Anywhere in Manila (including NAIA) → Artina Suites Hotel, Makati City

45 min · On-demand · 24/7

💡 Grab is the safest and most predictable option. From the airport, set your pickup to ‘Arrivals Bay’ and book a GrabCar (not GrabTaxi) for fixed pricing. Surge pricing applies during rain or rush hour—pre-book if you have a flight to catch.

🚕
Airport Taxi 300

Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) → Artina Suites Hotel, Makati City

45 min · On-demand · 24/7
