A short trip to Crown Towers in City of Dreams
Last January 2, we welcomed the year with a short trip to Crown Towers in City of Dreams with my relatives. Crown Tower Hotel is part of the City of Dreams building (besides Nobu Hotel and Hyatt Hotel). I checked the rates and I found out that this is the most expensive hotel among the three.

The security is tight, we bought some knives from SM MOA to bring home to the province and they confiscated it and just returned it when we checked out.

The lobby is huge and clean. What I like about it is that you cannot see the Casino area from there (unlike the one from Nobu), which makes them more kid-friendly.
That area at the back of this picture is where the Casino is located. It has a wall to cover the people playing inside.
THE ROOM
This is what the published picture in their website looks like:
They said there are two queen size beds, but it felt like it’s just two double beds. As you can see, halos sakto lang sa’min ni Ren.
The bathroom is just okay, nothing special about it BESIDES the toiletries which are made in U.K – Penhaligon’s

It would be nice if they have a bathtub inside the bathroom or a lock on the sliding door. They don’t even have a bidet.
Another thing they differ from other hotel’s amenities is their coffee/coffee maker. Ang sosyal, may capsule!

THE POOL
I like Crown Towers Pool. It is bigger than the one in Hyatt (which we were able to see because our room card was allowed to enter the other 2 hotel’s pool area).
My son had a quick dip here and he enjoyed it so much.
The greenery area between Nobu Hotel and Crown Towers is one of the area you need to visit if you’ll stay here because it is so picturesque.
Thank you to my cousin from Singapore who booked a room here and we were able to see what the place actually looks like. So, are we going back here? To be honest with the steep room price, I don’t think we will. I would like to visit other 5 star hotels na lang.
Published rate is around Php12,000 and up per night.

Good to know that it’s not worth the steep price. I’ll keep that in mind the next time we’re in search for a hotel staycation.
Wow pricey nga! Tapos walang bidet. But the coffee machine is a winner. Di pa basta bastang coffee machine lang.
wow. Such an impressive place to stay even for an overnight. The place is so grand and it is very evident on how its building stands majestically and how its interiors really make it a top choose of tourists and vacationers. S
Ang expensive! But minsan nman my travel deals which give at least 50 to 70 percent off. I wish!
I wonder why their bathrooms don’t have a bathtub and toilet bidet. I love their swimming pool, though. It’s big and inviting!
I love the pool! For sure, my kids will enjoy it here. haven’t tried booking in City of Dreams so this is the first time I saw this 🙂
City of Dreams is a very nice place,one of the nicest actually in the Metro, but it’s very high end including the price. I hope one day they will offer promotions so more families will get to try their amenities…
Wow, ang ganda! Pero 12K, hihihi, we may have to find a lower-starred hotel than this when we visit Singapore.
City of Dreams is located here in Pasay not in Singapore 🙂
Ay ang mahal… ang let down naman ng bathroom. With the cost, you’d expect at least a bathtub so you can pamper yourself or a bidet for convenience. Anyway, the pool looks lovely!
Di ako gaano nagagawi sa City of Dreams kasi ang layo sa amin. The pool looks really inviting though.
Marvelous view of the lobby! All smiles out! Looks the rooms are comfy and relaxing:)
I’ve never been to City of Dreams. We planned to stay there when my sister-in-law spent their summer vacation here but opted to book a hotel room somewhere else because of Metro Manila’s worsening traffic condition. Maybe this year, we can give this hotel a try and just opt for Uber/Grab car for our transpo.
my little kulit loves bathtub sayang wala, but the hotel rate is expensive
the hotel looks nice. kaso, if they have steep price… di ba dapat merong bathtub?
I think yung ibang room meron
hi levy! I’m Christian’s wife. an I just started a blog. nice reading your blog here! 🙂
Hi Marge, yes I know you from Christian’s post 🙂
Maganda mga toiletries? penge ako ng sample hehe
The bed looks smaller nga in person! or malaki ka na talaga? wahahaha
pang King lang talaga kami, hmp haha
OMG! I love their pool, I remember my Zd bear during the Blogapalooza in Nobu Hotel pagkakita nya sa pool as in tumakbo buti nalang at na slide sya at di natuluyang nahulog sa pool, kaya umuwi nalang kami ng maaga. Seen this crown hotel every time na pupunta kami sa MOA, in fairness ganda ng coffee maker din nila ha.
Is the P12k inclusive of BF? I would definitely think twice before booking. Siguro kung may promo pwede pa. We recently stayed at Novotel Hotel in QC for a promo price P3500 (got it in a travel expo) for a deluxe room inclusive of buffet bf for 2 adults and 2 kids (age up to 16yo). Location is perfect next to Araneta Ctr and a hop away Alimall and SM. Dami pwede gamin. My 12K is already equivalent to a 3 days stay here.
that’s their published rate, promo rate is around 8K siguro. I don’t like Novotel food naman, na try ko nung umattend ako ng Disney on Ice event.
This one is nice. Crown is on my bucket list of hotels for a staycation. Hope we can visit soon 🙂
We stayed here once. Very accommodating staff. The rooms are nice with complementary cookies and unlimited coffee and bottled water! Plus there are shuttle bus complementary from COD to MOA.
We’ve never tried having a staycation in City of Dreams because of the casino. It’s good to know that there’s a kid-friendly hotel there!
Ang mahal and there’s no bath tub. 🙁 I honestly look forward to bath tubs when checking in hotels lol! Parang bata lang hehehe! But what I love based on the photos is the pool area, ang ganda! 🙂
Awww…. too bad there was no bathtub. My kids like bathtubs! It’s a must in hotels for us. We also prefer bidets to better clean the kids without jumping into the shower.
Nice den pala yung Crown Towers noh? We checked in naman last year sa katabi lang nyan, Hyatt. When I saw the pool pic, I thought it was the Hyatt, parang same lang kasi hehe. 🙂
mas naliliitan ako sa pool ng Hyatt naman
Looks nice. The room looks comfy and the coffee station is a sure winner. But as you said it- there is no bathtub and no bidet- really? It’s kinda odd for a hotel this big and for sure it’s also pricey. But the pool and garden area make up for those amenities.
Hi Levy! I love hotel staycations, but if it has a steep price but the amenities and room inclusions do not give justice to the price, like you , I would pass. Buti na lang read your post, been wanting to try staying there one of these days sana, curious din kasi. 🙂
nice but costly….
better check other hotels muna
