Seda Centrio Hotel

This lifestyle hotel, opened last December 29, 2012, is owned by AyalaLand Hotels and Resorts Corp. (AHRC) and the Anflo Group of the Floirendo family. 

Its sleek, contemporary fourth floor lobby (as well as the hotel guestrooms), with its stylish and cozy Minimalist-style interiors, was designed by well-known architect and interior design consultant Conrad Onglao. 

The lobby connects to a smaller, ground floor receiving area which provides easy access to the upscale Centrio Mall and its spectrum of dining and retail outlets, which is a big convenience for hotel guests. Seda Centrio Hotel has 150 spacious and well-appointed rooms, spread over 11 floors.

All rooms have magnetic door locks, a flat-screen 40-inch HD cable TV; IDD phone with alarm clock, radio and iPod dock; coffee/tea making facility, mini bar; iron and ironing board; executive work desk; complimentary bottles of water and an electronic in-room safe.

A media panel, with HDMI, USB and audio-visual connectivity, allows the guest to view his files or listen to his music over the 40-inch LED TV system in his room.

The private ensuite bathroom has a hot/cold shower, a hairdryer and bidet.  Free toiletries are also included. A maximum of 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children below 12 years old can stay in the rooms.

The hotel also offers laundry, ironing, dry cleaning, airport shuttle (surcharge), concierge, luggage storage, car rental, daily housekeeping and room service.  

The hotel's signature, all-day Misto Restaurant

The all-day dining at Misto Restaurant serves local and international cuisine.  Continental buffet breakfast is served daily and a la carte the rest of the day. 

The breakfast was good and offered a lot of choices – bacon, egg station, cereals, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice, fried/plain rice, beans, hash brown, waffles, sausages, pancakes, etc.  The coffee lounge at the lobby, open 6 AM to 10 PM, offers light snacks while the roof deck has a bar with great views of the city.

 Incidentally, Seda is the brand name of Ayala hotels and their hotels are always either attached or right next to one of their signature malls. 

Though Seda Centrio shares a roof and is connected to the upscale Centrio Mall, security and exclusivity is still maintained as it has its own private entrance that leads to the Front Desk at the 4th floor. Customer service was excellent and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The rooms were very clean.
