I stayed at New Coast Hotel Manila during a business trip and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel offers spacious, comfortable rooms with excellent beds, making it easy to rest after a long day of work. The room was clean and well maintained, and housekeeping did a great job throughout my stay. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to assist. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and the service was consistently courteous. The breakfast had a good variety of both local and international options, which was a great way to start the day. The location is also convenient, with shopping malls, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby. Although the surrounding area can be busy, the hotel itself felt secure and comfortable. Overall, this is an excellent hotel for business travelers looking for comfort, good service, and a convenient location. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Manila.

I requested an ocean-view room, but my English wasn't good enough to explain it properly. I was disappointed when I got a room on the opposite side of the sea. However, they put me on a high floor, and I could see the World Heritage site from my window, which was amazing! 😊 Although it felt a bit old, that added to its historical charm. It was clean everywhere, and the breakfast had a great variety and was delicious. I made some wonderful memories there.

I chose this hotel to celebrate a special occasion and was genuinely looking forward to the stay. The property itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and offers the quality you would expect from a 4-star hotel. Unfortunately, the service and communication did not meet the same standard. Before my arrival, I submitted a special request and received a response from the hotel with additional information. To avoid any confusion, I even called the hotel to clarify the details. Afterward, I modified my request through the proper channel, assuming it would be reviewed and updated in their system. To my disappointment, the revised request was never acknowledged or acted upon. What is most frustrating is that the hotel had multiple opportunities to review and confirm the updated information, yet it appears that no one checked it. For a 4-star property, attention to guest requests and communication should be a basic expectation, especially when guests are celebrating important occasions. While the facilities are impressive, the lack of attention to detail significantly affected our experience. A beautiful hotel alone is not enough when guest communications are overlooked. This experience left me disappointed and feeling that the hotel fell short of the level of service it advertises. I hope management takes guest requests more seriously and improves its internal communication processes, as this is an area that clearly needs attention.

Staying at City Garden Suites Manila turned out to be a great choice for exploring the historic side of Manila. The location is very convenient — just a short distance from Rizal Park, Intramuros, and shopping areas like Robinsons Place Manila. It made moving around the city easy without long travel time. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, perfect for resting after a full day of walking around Manila. What stood out the most was the hospitality of the staff — they were friendly, accommodating, and always ready to help. If you’re looking for a hotel that balances comfort, location, and affordability, this is definitely a good option when staying in Manila.

**Overall, my stay at Century Park Hotel was good.** The room was comfortable and decent, and the facilities were okay. There isn’t a lot in terms of facilities aside from the pool and bar, but everything was well enough for a comfortable stay. The breakfast was quite good, with a decent variety of choices. It’s not the biggest selection I’ve seen, but there was enough to choose from and the quality was good. One very minor observation I noticed was that some staff seemed a little more enthusiastic or attentive when greeting foreign guests compared to local guests. To be clear, the staff were generally nice and polite, and this did not affect my stay. It was just something I happened to notice. Another small point was the hotel’s policy of providing only **two complimentary bottles of water per day**, with an additional charge for extra bottles. Having stayed at many hotels, this was something I found a little unusual, as complimentary bottled water is often more readily available. Again, this is only a minor point and not a major concern. Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The hotel is comfortable, the breakfast is good, and the service is generally satisfactory. There are a few small areas that could be improved, but nothing that would significantly affect the overall experience.

It's a 30-minute Grab ride from the airport if there's no traffic. The hotel is in a historical building, and you can really feel its grandeur in the lobby, hallways, and staircases. However, while it's near the coast, the surrounding area isn't very clean, so I wouldn't recommend walking around. A 5-minute Grab ride to Robinson Place will get you everything you need: a supermarket, a drugstore, and restaurants. The pool on the 4th floor has a great view and is easy to use as it's not crowded. The breakfast buffet is about average. Intramuros is also about a 5-minute Grab ride away.

We booked a suite room here because we had our wedding preparations at this hotel five years ago, and we expected the same quality of service and experience. Unfortunately, it feels very different now compared to before. Last night, there were two people sleeping in the lobby who did not appear to be hotel guests. We were wondering why they were allowed to stay there, as we understood that the lobby is intended for hotel guests. Additionally, the towels in our room appeared old and worn out. Overall, we believe that the cleanliness and security of the hotel should be reviewed and improved. There was also a drunk individual outside the 7-Eleven last night who was saying things to us, which made us feel scared and uncomfortable. Although the staff did ask him to leave, we still would have appreciated an apology regarding the incident. Overall, we were disappointed with this experience, especially since we chose this hotel based on the positive memories and standards we experienced during our wedding preparations five years ago.

It was the coolest room I’ve stayed here ever. Cuz we were 4, so needed a big room or connected room. The price of the room was reasonable & the room was flawless aside from the weakness of the water pressure in the shower. They also serve breakfast and tastes good enough even though one of my company is quite picky. But the thing you have to be aware before booking the room here is that it can be a bit noisy if there’re children at the pool. If you guys don’t mind it, there’s no reason to not recommend this hotel for me.

I was dissatisfied with the facilities I stayed in. The glue on the washbasin was black and mild, and it looked dirty. There are no toiletries, so forget it, we all have their own. But to vomit, the facility description is seriously inconsistent: 1. No hair dryer. The hotel said that there was a hair dryer, and the result was not in the room. 2. There is no 24-hour front desk service. First there is no front desk, the front desk is the public reception, not the hotel front desk, the hotel has an Office, at 24F, but not 24 hours service, service time is from 10 am to 7 pm, there will be a small list when you stay. The service time indicated above is 10am-7pm! 3, the most opinion is that the swimming pool is the building, not the hotel, the use of charges! The pool is charged! My initial starting point for booking this hotel is to have a swimming pool, but anyone can think that this swimming pool is a building, not a hotel. There is an extra charge for use, Philippine pesos for adults and PHP 150 for children. The only thing that is gratifying is that the responsible manager is a Taiwanese girl, very enthusiastic, has provided a lot of help, and the staff is very enthusiastic. This is the only highlight of this hotel.

When in Manila, I mostly took taxis and didn't really try public transport. My only concern was that the area felt a bit sketchy at night. There's a Starbucks right downstairs, and if you walk two blocks to the left and then turn right, you'll find a large shopping mall. The room was average but had good air conditioning and hot water. As for the soundproofing and AC noise that others mentioned, I personally didn't find them to be a big issue. For the price of just over 200, it's really good value for money.

The overall place is decent, however, the linen cover seems to have already been used due to its pungent odour. Every time we asked for room service, it just made the whole room smell worse as the mop used to clean the room likely had not been changed or cleaned. There was even a time when the cleaner took the money that had been left out in the open by the table, although we were going to tip anyway, it is just concerning that they’d take whatever money’s left out without having prior knowledge of whether the money is going to be given.

Good points: The room is spacious. The water pressure is excellent, and there's no unpleasant smell. The elevator is electronic (some people might find it a bit tricky to operate). The location is good. Breakfast is affordable. The safe is sturdy and electronic, which gives me peace of mind. Bad points: The rooms facing the street are too noisy... motorcycle sounds, siren noises, etc. I couldn't sleep well. Maybe it was just my room, but there was an old, musty smell... like a building smell from being unused for a long time. (I was too tired and bothered to complain, so I just aired it out and slept). Areas for improvement: The front desk staff seemed a bit bland... I wish they would greet guests with a more smiling face. I wish the area in front of the hotel was cleaner... when it rains heavily, the mud makes it slippery, so you have to walk around carefully. I wish the room lighting was brighter... the room's interior is black and red, and with the dim lighting, it felt a bit stuffy (my personal preference).

Another big plus was the spacious room which made our stay very comfortable. Just the bed mattress was old and didn’t offer much support (had problems sleeping and experienced back pain) as well the location wasn’t ideal for my partner and I who enjoy roaming around on foot.

You could tell that the room was well-maintained. Wifi is acceptable but not that reliable for video conference. Since the hotel is really old, you can’t see “modern” things in the room.

Good stay overall. The staff were friendly, and the room was comfortable. Housekeeping could be a bit more thorough, but it did not significantly affect our experience. We would still recommend this hotel and consider staying again.

We had a pleasure of staying at Manila Grand Opera Hotel and was thoroughly impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. My room was spotless and beautifully clean,comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the city, and I especially enjoyed the delicious breakfast spread each morning. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting in Manila and will definitely be back!”

There was also a convenience store nearby. There was a window in the guide, but unfortunately there was no window. It seems that Trip.com's confirmation mistake. Price seems to be cheap.

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the old town. You can walk to all the attractions, so I can overlook the outdated decor. The service was impeccable, definitely living up to its star rating. My only minor complaint is that after I showered, I realized there were no slippers in the room. I had to call the front desk to send some up. Also, I asked for two bottles of water, and was surprised to find them charged to my bill at checkout, which is quite unusual.

Good service, buffet breakfast with the option to order an omelet or fried eggs. The family room is large, with three beds: one double and two singles. Pretty good location. Friendly staff. A 1000 peso deposit for a room for 3 people, all returned upon check-out. The room has a kettle, tea, and coffee. Minibar available for an extra charge: snacks, water, beer, all relatively inexpensive. Drawbacks: the air conditioning is a window unit, not a split system – quite noisy. And the staff are a bit overly attentive: constantly trying to open doors, carry bags, etc.

Overall it was a good stay, they give the breakfast for examinees at 4 AM to accomodate for our schedule so that's considerate. The room is neat and relatively clean too, I say relatively because there's a suspicious reddish stain on one of the pillow and one of the towels, we just didn't use those. For improvement though, I wish they included a hairdryer in the room like they said they would on the included amenities, I would've brought mine if I knew it's not gonna be included in the room. Also, the inside and crevices of the toilet isn't cleaned, not a big problem but as a clean freak, I was a bit bothered about that.

Location OK is opposite Rizal Park, the hotel is not big, almost 100 years old, the facilities are naturally old. Not many tenants, the first time I stayed in such a quiet hotel, I didn't see a few passengers. In the morning, I choose one of them, and the taste is OK. Next to ️Seven eleven, and Papa John.

Perfect for travelers who prioritize location and safety over luxury services. It is situated in a very convenient and secure neighborhood. While the facilities are modest compared to more expensive chains, the price point is unbeatable for this area. Not for a picky person.

I've been staying at this hotel occasionally since 2010. It's clean and bug-free. I only use it for a short stay before heading to the airport, but it's also a great value for money place to stay. The staff have been with the hotel for a long time. There's no water in the refrigerator.
