Manila Quiapo Hotels

Manila is a city that never stands still. In places like Makati or Bonifacio Global City, the streets are alive with office workers, malls packed with shoppers, and restaurants buzzing late into the night. Music spills out from bars, and traffic hums constantly in the background. But just a short drive or walk away, you can stumble into quiet neighborhoods, old churches, and simple eateries where life feels slower. The city moves between fast and calm, giving you the rush of the crowd and the ease of small, peaceful corners.

Getting to and Around Manila

Manila is served by Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), which has four terminals spread across Pasay and Parañaque. Depending on traffic, getting from the airport to the city can take anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour.

From NAIA, you can take a Grab car (ride-hailing app), a metered taxi, or an airport bus to different parts of the city. Many hotels also offer airport pickup services if you prefer a hassle-free arrival.

Once in Manila, the easiest ways to get around are by Grab, taxis, or city buses. The MRT and LRT trains are a good option if you want to avoid traffic during rush hours, especially around Makati, Quezon City, and Pasay. For short trips, walking in safe areas like Makati or BGC is also enjoyable, with plenty of cafés and shops along the way.

If you have an early flight or a late-night arrival, staying at a hotel close to the airport or one that offers airport transfers can make your trip much smoother.

Tips for Booking Manila Hotels

Book Early for Peak Seasons

Reserve your hotel ahead of time if you’re visiting during Christmas, New Year, Holy Week, or long weekends. Popular areas like Makati, BGC, and near Mall of Asia fill up fast, and prices usually rise closer to the date.

Watch Out for Major Events

Manila often hosts big concerts, international conventions, and sporting events. These can quickly fill hotels near the venues, especially around Mall of Asia Arena, Araneta Coliseum, or World Trade Center. If you’re traveling during these times, secure your booking early to avoid last-minute stress.

Save with Booking Perks

New Trip.com users can enjoy up to 8% off on selected hotels. That discount could cover a nice dinner in Makati or even help you upgrade to a suite in places like Raffles Makati or Okada Manila.

Stay Smart with Location Choices

You don’t always need to book the priciest hotels in the city center. Consider:

• Pasay – Convenient if you want to stay close to the airport and Mall of Asia.
• Ermita or Intramuros – More affordable stays near Manila Bay and historical sites.
• Quezon City – Great for budget-friendly options, especially if your trip includes university areas, shopping, or food spots.
