I make it a point to stay at the Manila Hotel every time I visit the Philippines (usually a couple of times a year) because I’m always treated like a member of the family. The staff is always friendly and hospitable, which is not the case with many of the other hotels I’ve stayed at.

I really like the views from the 14th floor. Staff was nice and attended well to our needs. Unfortunately, some of the electric outlets were not functioning properly. Carpet, especially inside the rooms, also needs replacement. Room to room calling was also somehow problematic— one had to dial the operator first to get connected to another room to make a call. Breakfast was great! A lot of selections. The one thing why this hotel is special? It is the history that is attached to it and is situated in a historical place. That’s irreplaceable. Overall experience? I will come back, no doubt — as long as the price remains reasonable. Perhaps all the electrical outlets would have been repaired and old carpets replaced by then.

I read so many reviews . My Mom and I were traveling back from a surgical mission in Borongan , we are from America, we stayed at the Manila Hotel on the way back and it was amazing, so beautiful the staff were ALL very kind and helpful. This hotel is historical so there is a lot of traffic and it was very busy but it didn’t distract us at all , the hotel itself is beautiful. The breakfast buffet is very nice, room service was great! The rooms were nice and big and the beds were very comfortable. If I had any complaints at all it would be that the gym was under renovation but other than that it was definitely a great choice. I would recommend it to anyone!

My family used to come and stay for a nite or two or even just for a quick relaxation savoring our native food like “puto bumbong and bibingka”. Being away for 18 yrs I decided to have my one night stay-cation before I head back to New York. The staff were all helpful showing the Filipino hospitality which I never experienced elsewhere. My two main disappointments during my stay was (1) there were no enough place to sit at the lobby coz most my homies stayed and hang out at a longer time even though they were done dining. It was a big shame! The ambiance of the Historically well knowned Manila Hotel was tainted. (2) lastly, I know most guest do not stay long at the rooms. But at least before one retire to bed to call it a night, one turn on the TV to listen to news or if guest have kids or even adults would like to Watch Netflix or any channel. BUT… what the hotel offered were extremely old! That’s why when I contacted the receptionist at the lobby… I called those TV set as “dumb” coz it’s so cheap to update with a smart TV.

You owe it to yourself to experience this place.
The Manila Hotel is an institution. It is a gem in the rough. Yes, you can see where it's a little tired in the corners, but this place was built in 1912. Let's see how well you're holding up when you're over 100! The staff were simply amazing. Everyone wears a different uniform according to their station. The food was good, the bed comfortable, and the shower was awesome! You feel like you're staying somewhere that you paid way too much money for, but you didn't. ^_^

Not What it Once Was, but Battling Mightily
The grande-dame. Is still the grand-dame of Manila in pre-war tradition. From tea in the lobby to sextet in the lobby at night, chocolates delivered to the room in the afternoon, it fights a lone battle to offer a gracious stay. If ambiance is your thing, this is your place. Still, amenities are modern, from CR to mini-fridge and safe, bed was comfortable, HVAC functioned well, and there was plenty of hot water. Stay during the Traslacion of El Nazareno made this stay unique!
