The Manila Hotel

Everything is good with The Manila Hotel, except for the intermittent internet connection.

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.

A historical hotel, beautiful bay view and 5-star services. I enjoyed the stay during my Manila trip.

Great service

For a dated Hotel, the Hotel has been immaculately maintained. Great Historic location. My room overlooked the Old Walled Fort INTRAMUROS(Thanks for granting my request and free room upgrade. Good selection for breakfast and excellent service staff. Reception/Registration seems too slow considering they have so many staff behind the counters. Excellent Bartender at TapRoom "Andy". Bar chow taste and quality can use a good sprucing up. My only serious peeve is that you really hear your neighbors' doors slamming shut...I dont think all my neighbors were angrily closing their doors :)) They need more insulation to deaden that annoying ruckus
