shangrila hotel: shangrila hotel manila

by theguardianangel

Shangrila hotel is one of the 5 star hotel to have a PERFECT place to stay and relax.
It is near to all the places you wanted to be.
you can just walk from the hotel to take a ride to the MRT... but personally I would only recommend it if you're running out of time to go to a certain place; because the MRT is really very much crowded especially during rush hours 7am-10am and 4-8pm. People usually take MRT since it's cheaper and is the fastest access to their work places but they need to endure the crowded train for that.

also, just a few walks you can arrive at the shopping malls- SM Megamall, Shangrila Mall and Star Mall. If you're a party goer, you may go to the Metrowalk, it's just a few meters away from the hotel, but you need to take a cab. Lots of bars, restaurants and coffee shops you can find by just walking around the place.

the staff are very obedient and friendly. the rooms and facilities are always clean.
You may also want to try a "eat all you can" type of restaurant. in the ground floor of the hotel, you can find HEAT. You may have a non-stop breakfast-lunch-dinner but separate payments apply in each. The foods are arranged in a buffet style by country, foods include a variety of Japanese, Italian, Indian, Filipino, Thai, Chinese and many more are must try! The price, I think is about 35 US dollars... I can't remember how much exactly it is.

Cherry Blossoms Hotel

by Iluv2surf2

We stayed 4 days & nights at the Cherry Blossoms Hotel in metro Manila. It was reasonably close to the airport, definately affordable and close to shopping and dining. The rooms were modest yet reasonably well maintained, clean and quiet.

Like virtually every place I go in the Philippines like hotels or shopping the people are friendly and helpful. This place was no different.

The price was right. I view most hotels, even; actually by American standards, as a place to crash and sleep. As long as it's clean and safe I'm generally OK with it. This place is NOT fancy, but has an Old World elegance and meets my expectations. If you want a fancy high status place then choose someplace else and waste your money.

My only complaint was our room was to small for four people, but that was our fault.

Park Bread and Breakfast (PBB): It is cut clean, cheap, and safe!

by joiwatani

I found out of this Bread and Breakfast from a cab driver. I was going home from my one-week trip in the Bicol Region and I took the bus "Partas". While waiting for my bus, I spoke with the security guard and asked him where is the nearest hotel I can check-in. I told him my specifications:

1. It should be close to the international airport because I don't like to be caught in traffic when I will catch my plane back to the United States;

2. It has to be affordable. I just needed a place to sleep for the night, take a shower or freshen up; I don't need a flashy hotel as I am leaving for the United States already (I rather buy something else with my money rather than paying a hefty amount in a hotel in Manila. Of course, it will be different if I am in a beach town- then I will pay a hotel with a view of the ocean!).

3. It has be secured and safe.

Luckily, the guard called the cab driver who was waiting for his customer. His name is Ronald, an Ilocano guy who is about 35-40 years old. He is bald and very jolly-looking guy. He told me that he knows a Bread and Breakfast and it has all my specifications. On top of that, he told me that it has an All-you-can-eat breakfast! He gave me his cell phone number and I told him I will call him once I am back in Manila!

The PBB is not a flashy one but I was contented with the service. The hotel desks people asked me if I wanted to check the rooms first and then sign the contract and pay. I checked on two rooms with different prices : the bigger room which is good for a couple costs P2,500 per day ($50.00) and that includes breakfast; the bug's room costs P1,400 per day ($28.00) which includes breakfast, too.

I chose the bug's room to save money. It was like most of the Japanese hotels that I found in Japan. Enough for me to rest for a day. It was clean, safe and affordable. It has a television, air-condition and the bathroom is clean with running hot and cold water!

The PBB is owned and operated by Legend Hotels International Corporation.

What I like about the PBB is that it is pretty close to the international airport. I didn't have to pay that much to the cab driver. Also, I felt safe because the PBB is enclosed and has security guards. Also, there are parking spaces for your own vehicles!

The breakfast that they offer is pretty good. It's a buffet, all-you-can-eat breakfast. They have the Filipino fried bangus (fish); adobong manok (chicken); scrambled eggs; sausages; ham; toasted bread with butter and jam; choices of juices; and freshly brewed coffee.

Being kind to the driver, who was waiting for me to check out the next day, I treated him for breakfast!!! I paid P200 ($4.00).

The Ambassador Hotel: Cheap Hotel for Budget traveller

by kemisteryoso

It is one of the cheapest Hotel. Located in Malate district. If you are not looking for a 5 star hotel and just want to spend a night before going somewhere in the countryside this is the place for you.

It is located along Mabini Street, walking distance from Adriatic Circle, baywalk at the Roxas Boulevard and malate chruch. The location is very accessible to public transportation and also close to restaurants and night spots.

You can have a view of Manila Bay. Their staff are hospitable and helpful. They have Coffee house, Restaurants, Lounges ,Swimming pool, Discotheque, Convention facilities, Tour desk
and Souvenir shops. Don't expect too much everything is standard but it is okay for me. I am not a king anyway. A free buffet breakfast is also included.

Don't be surprised if the elevator always stops at the 2nd floor. I think there's a KTV bar there.

Oasis Park Hotel: VERY AFFORDABLE HOTEL

by mfrazier

My stay in Oasis Park Hotel is pleasant. The staff are very friendly and helpful . My room is really okay and was more than what I expected. They have a pool and a jacuzzi, free wifi, and a sports bar and restaurant on the hotel! I basically have all that I need!

They have a an airport pick up , and the location is really great since it is near malls, restaurants, and other must see places that i found on the net, so it was really convenient to stay there , and the best thing about my stay is that it that it is not heavy on my pocket! very affordable. I really recommend it to budget travelers like me!

Luxurious: Diamond Hotel

Heritage Hotel: Old but Ok...

by sweetie_inc

Stayed for a week for business purpose.

Room was clean and well maintained.

Didnt get the chance to use any of the facilities in the hotel at all.

Breakfast buffet has good spread and Service is excellent, the staff very polite. They have "halal" menu but I doubt it's 100% halal cos they do served pork here as well..

Hotel is quite near to the biggest shopping mall - Mall of Asia & hotel provide free shuttle service to the mall.

There's once when i came back, my door was double-locked. And was told by the duty manager that I forgotten to lock the safe box.. Lucky for me, nothing was lost.

Laundry service is normal.. Nothing was torn or lost.. My clothes were nicely pressed...
