Our experience at the new coast hotel: The staff was super friendly and helpful The room was clean. House keeping provided the supplies on time. The breakfest was good with a range of foods to select And it is near the bay area, which has the ocean park Check in and out was quick Dislikes The construction woke me up and didn't let me sleep The view from my room was a construction site picture attached Every time we entered, we were searched and walked through a scanner I hope this review helps. All in all, we have a pleasant stay at the hotel. I hope the renovation are over soon.

We stayed at The Manila Hotel as a couple with one infant and had a very positive experience. The staff were extremely accommodating and attentive, the facilities felt grand and culturally rich rather than modern, and the location is central, great for nearby parks but challenging due to Manila traffic. The highlight was the breakfast, which was outstanding and easily the best complimentary hotel breakfast I’ve had.

The hotel is great! Even though it's an older property, the facilities are still very good, and the breakfast spread is excellent. It's located right next to Koreatown, and you just have to cross the street to get to Manila Bay – it's the perfect spot for stunning sunset photos. The lobby staff are also incredibly welcoming.

This is my 14th stay in Manila Prince Hotel and the good vibes continue growing. This stay showed me how hands on their Head Chef Bobby Monsod and FB Mgr Ms Bambi thats why buffet breakfast is super yummy. They have dedicated Sous Chef and waiters Jim, Bryan, Jomar and head in Reception Apple. I also commend housekeeping headed by Ms Mercy and cleaning staff Winnie and all trainees. I have convinced some friends to book at this hotel. Ps. They have a medical clinic 24 / 7 where you can ask medical assistance. MPH is my second home in Manila.

China Town City of Manila|0.16km from city center
Affordable hotel at the heart of Manila Chinatown! If you want to experience Manila Chinatown, the world's oldest chinatown, then the Ramada is the best place to start. I took a Binondo Food crawl and decided to book a room so I can fully enjoy Binondo. The room was quite spacious, wide doors and hallways (good access for people on wheelchairs), and quiet. Surprisingly very quiet! Despite it's very central and busy location, I was able to sleep and rest quietly. Aside from the occasional church bell, you won't really hear much of the noise from downstairs. As yu step out of the hotel lobby, you will be welcomed by the hustle and bustle of Binondo. Food stalls and restaurants everywhere. It is a gastronomic adventure and a shopper's paradise. Just a few steps away from the long lines of foodies are bazaars and shops where you can find anything from clothes to jewelry to Chinese charms. At the top of the hotel is Mento, their in-house dining spot, their breakfast buffet is decent but nothing too exciting. You may skip this and go straight outside, you'll need your appetite to fully experience all the food choices available. Just be ready to fall in line for minutes, some really popula shops have lines that go for hours! Overall the hotel is nice, comfortable and quiet. It may feel a bit old, and could use some refurbishing, but I say that's part of the Binondo charm. Old city, rich in tradition, but feels quite like home.

Our stay at the hotel last week was truly pleasant, and we had a restful night's sleep throughout our visit. The room was spotlessly clean – we found no bed bugs, insects, or unpleasant odors of any kind. We were also pleased that our special request for a room near the elevator was accommodated. We would like to note a few points for future guests: the room did not have clothes hangers or a floor rag. Basic amenities provided included two bath towels and two toothbrush kits. Drinking water is available outside the rooms, so we recommend bringing a reusable water tumbler for convenience.

The family suite we booked was incredibly spacious and clean, giving us plenty of room to relax without feeling cramped. The beds were comfortable, and we all slept soundly. The highlight for our children was definitely the indoor pool and kids' play area. It was a perfect way for them to burn off energy, and it was well-maintained. The location was also fantastic, being close to manila ocean park and luneta. The staff, particularly the front desk team, were so welcoming and helpful, always greeting us with a smile. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend the Bayview Hotel or anyone traveling with a family. We can't wait to visit again!

For my stay in Manila, I chose the Red Planet Manila Bay, part of the well-known Red Planet chain. And I can say – it was the perfect decision! The hotel primarily impresses with its excellent location. It's within walking distance of the Old City, the historic heart of the capital. All the main attractions seem to be right on its doorstep, which is incredibly convenient for any explorer. My check-in was fast and very comfortable. I was greeted at the reception by a pleasant and attentive young woman. While check-in was officially at 2 PM, I was happily handed the keys to my room at 11 AM – completely free of charge! Such care and flexibility truly speak to their amazing service. An added bonus is the cozy cafe on the ground floor. The food is tasty, portions are decent, and the prices are very affordable. If you're looking for a reliable, clean, and strategically located hotel in Manila to comfortably spend the night and explore the city, I confidently recommend this option. My rating: a solid ten out of ten!

Located in a very convenient community, with a 7-Eleven right downstairs, which is great for quick snacks or drinks. You can easily call a Grab or a car service directly to the hotel. It's close to all the major tourist attractions. If you enjoy walking, you can explore everything on foot, including all the important historical sites in the Philippines. I really liked it here! The accommodation was quiet and peaceful, and I felt the price was good for the value. It was clean and comfortable, just what I'd expect from a hotel. What I liked most is that once you get your bearings, you realize it's close to all the main attractions. It's also not too far from the train station; you can take the train almost to the last stop and then walk about 1.5 kilometers to reach the airport.

My stay at Century Park Hotel was truly exceptional from start to finish. The hotel strikes a perfect balance between classic elegance and modern comfort, creating a welcoming atmosphere the moment you arrive. The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed, offering a relaxing retreat after a long day. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the attention to detail—from the amenities to the housekeeping—made the stay feel effortless and luxurious. What truly sets Century Park Hotel apart is its service. Every member of the staff was professional, warm, and genuinely eager to help. From check-in to check-out, I felt well taken care of, with requests handled promptly and courteously. The dining options were another highlight. The food was consistently delicious, well-presented, and offered a great variety to suit different tastes. Whether for breakfast or a leisurely meal, the experience was excellent. The hotel’s facilities are well-maintained and add great value to the stay, making it suitable for both business and leisure travelers. Combined with its convenient location, Century Park Hotel makes getting around easy while still providing a peaceful place to unwind. Overall, Century Park Hotel delivers comfort, quality, and outstanding hospitality. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable hotel experience, and I would gladly stay here again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Wonderful Stay at Rizal Park Hotel 🌟 We stayed at Rizal Park Hotel for two nights and had a truly great experience. The location is perfect—just a short walk to Rizal Park (Luneta), Intramuros, and Fort Santiago, which made exploring Manila's historical sites so convenient. The hotel amenities were impressive. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and the overall relaxing atmosphere. The staff were courteous and accommodating, which added to the pleasant stay.

Compliments to the guards outside as well, they escorted us especially at night to the other side to get to the mall due to crazy traffic haha ! Casino can be improved with more different table games that has progressive jackpot I.e. paigow, stud poker etc. Too too many baccarat table.

I recently stayed at Manila Lotus Hotel and overall had a pleasant experience, especially with the convenient location and accommodating staff. However, I would like to share a few gentle suggestions that could further improve guest comfort. During my stay, I noticed that basic room amenities such as slippers, toothbrush, and toothpaste were not readily available. Providing these complimentary consumables would make the stay more convenient and aligned with what many guests typically expect from a hotel. In addition, the Wi-Fi signal inside my room was quite weak and at times almost unavailable, which made it challenging to stay connected. Improving the internet connectivity in guest rooms would greatly enhance the overall experience, especially for guests who need reliable access for work or communication. With a few small enhancements in these areas, the hotel can make stays even more comfortable and satisfying for future guests.

We liked that they also have sauna facilities and an inner patio/park at the 5th floor that serves as the view of surrounding rooms. My kids loved their calamansi drink during breakfast. It is also convenient that the hotel has a connecting way to Lucky Chinatown Mall..Few things that we noticed that they can improve on would be: -Their breakfast selection (maybe add cereals for kids) - TV cable needs auto configure everytime you turn them on -Spa area needs to be maintained and should have at least 1 staff manning the place. Given a chance, we will be staying again in the future.

Good location for nightlife. The view from the balcony is also good. Good thing, these two are the end. The interior of the building is very old because it is unmanaged. There are many Chinese people inside the building, so it is inconvenient to use the elevator. It's particularly annoying when I use it at mealtimes. Room condition is special. I used to buy toiletries personally. The bottom line .... I thought it would be better to stay at the hotel to add to this money.

We managed to check into the room on the third try. The first room was smoky, the second with a loud old air conditioner, we agreed to the third, because we were very tired from the night flight, although we were not thrilled with it. For early check-in at 8 am, they asked for an extra charge of 500 pesos. The location of the hotel is good, everything is nearby. Filipino breakfasts, monotonous, according to the menu, but there is always rice and an egg in the dish, only the third ingredient changes. Coffee is included in the breakfast. No fruits. No vegetables either. Pros: the room has a kettle, a refrigerator and a microwave. We were shocked by the presence of a gap (about 20 cm) between neighboring rooms. This was discovered after checking into the neighboring room, when we could hear the TV, the child, etc. as in our room. Everything was covered with a curtain and was initially not visible. But otherwise, in general, a good hotel. It will do for 1-2 days.

I had a good stay at the hotel, the location is alright being atvthe center near the embassy, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, making it convenient for both business and leisure travelers. The staff was very helpful and approachable, the rooms were decently clean, though not spotless, but nothing that detracted from the overall experience.

Pros: This hotel is close to a market and a small mall. If you want to experience the natural ambiance of Manila, you can stay here. The staff is friendly and check-in is fast. There's a 1,000 peso deposit. The rooms are spacious and clean. The air conditioning is cool. Security is guaranteed. Con: The hotel is old and far from the city center and the airport. The breakfast was terrible, not much choice, just plain rice, boxed meat, and orange juice. There were also waffles. Luckily, there were waffles so I could still have breakfast.

If you are looking for a place comfortable enough to sleep one night at the capital, you go for this. If you are looking for something else and you can't lower your standards or tolerate not so good conditions, then this place is not for you.

I came to Hong Kong just for one night on my way out of China. I chose this hotel because it was close to the train station where I arrived in Hong Kong. I walked to the hotel from the train station. No problem. There are many local restaurants around the hotel. And the night market is right outside the hotel. I would probably come back to this hotel again.

Malate City of Manila|3.4km from city center
Great hotel if you don't want to overpay! We chose him for the second time - this is an indicator!)) Simple but perfectly clean room and bed. It is convenient to get from/to the airport, so we took a room between flights. Absolutely friendly guys at the reception. We reached the historical area of ​​Intramuros on foot in 25-30 minutes. The area is very calm. If you don’t expect anything extraordinary from the room, then don’t hesitate to book! 100% recommend! There is no elevator, so if you have heavy luggage, ask for a room on the lower floors.

Cr with molds, only one towel provided for 2 persons and 1 soap. The staff we're a bit loud even in the morning when they have to do cleaning from every rooms. Hopefully they would respect other guests quiet time. The aircon was good. They don't have safety deposit box for safe keeping of important things.
