Our stay at The Manila Hotel was exceptional. The hotel’s historic charm and well-maintained interiors create a unique and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were attentive and courteous, always ready to assist with a smile.
The room was comfortable and clean, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view of Manila Bay added a special touch. Dining at Café Ilang-Ilang was a highlight, with a variety of well-prepared dishes that catered to different tastes.
The location is also ideal, close to cultural and historical sites, making it convenient for exploring the city. Overall, the Manila Hotel offers a wonderful mix of comfort, history, and excellent service. Highly recommended for a stay in Manila.

I had an amazing experience at Café Ilang-Ilang, where their breakfast buffet truly stood out as one of the best I’ve had. The variety of dishes was impressive, and everything was fresh and flavorful. What made it even better was the bakery – I couldn’t resist trying some of their pastries, and they did not disappoint. The bakery alone is worth a visit! On top of all that, the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for great food and warm service.
Response from Property: Dear MYJCPH, Thank you for your glowing review and recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that our team exceeded your expectations in providing you the best service. We strive to deliver professional and efficient service to all our clients. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to having you again as our guest in the future!

One of the best hotels in Manila. It is very close to historical sites like Intramuros, Luneta Park. The hotel vibe is classic but lively. Every night there are performances.

The hotel is located near the historic Spanish quarter, a must-see destination. While this charming area is compact and can be easily explored in half a day, the surrounding neighborhood offers limited dining options. For those seeking a vibrant evening scene, consider staying closer to the city center. While taxis are readily available, be aware of heavy traffic congestion.
Hotels amenities show signs of age and wear; serices are polite and efficient, rates are reasonables

I booked a Luneta Suite but was upgraded to a Tower Suite upon check-in, as my room wasn't ready, and I ended up waiting for about an hour. While the Tower Suite was spacious at approximately 30 sqm and comfortable, the view of the Port Area was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for a Manila Bay view.
However, the staff did go above and beyond to make my stay more comfortable. I requested to have breakfast in my room instead of going to the buffet, and they graciously accommodated this, which I truly appreciated. The service overall was attentive and courteous, and the in-room breakfast was a nice touch.
The hotel itself is rich in history and charm, but the long wait at check-in and the view from the suite did slightly detract from the experience. Despite these minor issues, Manila Hotel offers a classic stay with excellent service. I would consider staying again, hoping for a smoother check-in and a better view next time.
Response from Property: Dear valued guest, Mabuhay from The Manila Hotel! Thank you for sharing your review of our property. We deeply regret to hear of your unpleasant experience as we were not able to serve you at the level of standards and comfort that we are usually known for. We would like to thank you for your understanding as peak season is upon us and we know that this is not an excuse to miss out on the other details that would have made your stay a pleasant and memorable experience. Rest assured that we will discuss these concerns front and center with the departments concerned so that we may improve and streamline areas that we have overlooked. Moving forward, we are still looking forward to the opportunity to welcome you back with improved service in the near future. Thank you and take care.
