The Exchange Regency Hotel Review


Hi there! So here is my review about a 4 star hotel that I found in Travelbook. If you are looking for a quick summer escape but can't leave the city because of work, this would be the best place to visit. I was checking out a lot of hotels nearby that has a pool and here's what I found. The Exchange Regency Hotel is located at Exchange Rd. cor Meralco Ave. Ortigas, Pasig infront of Lopez Museum very accessible to Megamall or Starmall. 





Lobby Area. 
They have a luggage rack inside and you can ask one of their staff to assist you. The elevator on the right side is for their service staff and then the two on the left is for guests.


Key card to our room. 
The first time we visited, we requested for a room with a good view and early check in but I forgot to mention that I want to be on a higher floor. When we went back a week after, I requested for a higher floor but I forgot the view. Very epic! I was tired when I made the reservation. They granted our request anyway!

Here's what it looks like inside the room. It has a double bed and the mattress is very comfortable! 

I would love to have a wardrobe like this in my own room.

I have tried their coffeemaker and yeah, they have 2 sachets of coffee, creamer and sugar which is complimentary, except for the food on the right side. If you don't want to pay more for food, I suggest you go out and just buy in Ministop (few steps away from the entrance of the hotel).

In-room safe.
You can set your own password. If you want to leave your laptop inside the room, this is the safest place. Most of the guests are travelling for business, and it's really neccessary to have a safe box. They have working desk as well and extra sheets of paper and envelope.

(At night)
I took a lot of photos at night but some of them are blurry.

Bathroom interior.

No need to bring your own shampoo, conditioner and soap. Conditioner is best after you go on swimming. 

Let's go now to the pool area! I'm so excited to post my photos because it's actually the highlight of our stay.


Pool in the morning, exclusive for the guests and residents.

Pool area is open from 6AM to 10PM. 

Photo taken the second time we went there. On our first trip, we decided to rest at night and go to the pool early in the morning. Apparently, the pool was under construction for two days.

Jacuzzi. Superb! It's very relaxing! There is a kiddie pool on the other side and a playground.

Here's the policy in using their pool. They provide towels for guests. 

We have tried the fitness facility also. By the way, no need to pay for these amenities. 


Fitness Center.
I burned 200 calories here, and we ate after which is a sad thing. Haha!

By the way, the room type we booked in Travelbook was a Deluxe Room with Breakfast. They will give you a coupon that you have to present once you got to the restaurant. 
 Mario's Kitchen for Breakfast Buffet!

 This is the coupon that they gave us for breakfast. It was signed by the pretty and friendly front desk.

Combination of full and continental breakfast. There's a lot of food to choose from. I liked best the cereals and milk plus watermelon and papaya fruit. Not just that, they have viand also and drinks. 

We had a very nice stay here! Two thumbs up! The front desk is very approachable. We had a hard time communicating with them on the phone, so it's better to send them an E-mail. They respond quickly! I've been with Manila Peninsula, I had a tour there before, and Exchange Regency is very comparable! All the staff from guards to front desk even housekeeping are very friendly. They always smile. We were informed before we get there that they charge 1000p for deposit which is refundable upon check out. That's fine as long as you won't break something inside the room. I highly recommend Exchange Regency to everyone who wants to spend a day in a luxurious but not an exorbitant hotel with great amenities!
