Your Perfect Room

Best rooms to request
For the best experience at the Marco Polo Ortigas, request a room on the higher floors (above 20th floor) to minimize potential traffic noise from Meralco Avenue and the nearby EDSA highway. The hotel has 34 floors, so floors 21 and above should provide a quieter stay.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the service entrance (usually floors 1-5) may experience noise from delivery and service staff, and rooms near the lifts (elevator floors) may have more noise from guests and staff activity.
Best views
Rooms with a southeast or southwest orientation (facing the Ortigas business district or the Pasig River) may offer views of the city skyline. However, be aware that the hotel's Meralco Avenue address means that high-rise buildings and highways may obstruct some views.
Quietest floors
Floors 21-34 are likely to be the quietest, as they are farthest from the street and service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Guests may experience some noise from the nearby highway and Meralco Avenue, especially during rush hour. Additionally, being in Pasig, the hotel is close to several bars and restaurants, which may generate some evening noise.
