Flying into Manila on the 31st of Dec and need help with hotel choices.
I'm just looking for a small moderate priced hotel, that's clean, quite and off the beaten path in or around Manila with a good restaurant close. I plan on spending a couple days in Manila. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Reply to this Hello my friend.
We are currently in the Philippines and stoped in Manilia just a few days ago. We stayed in a hotel called Stone House in Malate. Its clean and cheap and also comes with satalite TV and is in a great location. Doubles are 550p and singles are 300p. If you are coming from Pasay a taxi to Malate should cost you about 150p in rush hour or 100p when not so busy.
Hope that helps you.

Reply to this hi im from the philippines. metro manila is a huge metropolis made out of many cities. most tourists go to ermita in manila, which is the old capital. mainly because its cheap. but its not the safest place. it is also one of the dirtiest and most polluted. locals know that the best places to stay in are in makati, Libis and Taguig. they are a little more expensive but youll feel a lot safer and youll have better memories of my country. better yet dont stay in metro manila at all. go to the suburbs like Tagaytay. its a lovely place with a beautiful weather. just and hour drive from the city. its where people from the city go to chill. its got lots and lots of restaurants and hotels. and its got cheap hotels too like the ones in ermita
Reply to this Just one last update to my stay at the StoneHouse B&B in Quezon. I had made reservations for three days and ended up staying for 5. The room was just what I had wanted, small and comfortable. The staff were very polite and helpful. I took the Victory liner from Pasay to Angeles City for P132. and am now camped at the Woodland Park Hotel. It's a little more than I wanted to pay P1330 per day for a week, but the pool and staff are excellent, and the rooms are very clean and quite. It's way off the beaten path and I highly recommend it for families and anyone who just wants a relaxing stay in Angeles. Probably one of the nicest pools in Angeles. Magandang Araw
Reply to this If you are still in Angeles check out the America Hotel on Fields Avenue. Maybe you can stay there on your next trip to the Philippines. I have stayed there maybe 6 times over the past 10 years. It is a little dated but I found the staff friendly and it was convenient to other places on Fields avenue. They had safety boxes for valuables, arranged tours, neat fish tanks, a pool and okay cheap restaurant. (In cheap places in the Philippines I always purchase a couple light bulbs and change them for the 10 watt bulbs you may find in your room. I like to read in my down time and appreciate a little more light.)
Check out Margarita Station on Fields. Food is okay, daily food and drink specials. Internet shop, laundry and money changer too!
Walk over to the SM Mall at Angeles near Clark front gate. Check out a men's room - no seats on the toilets! I don't know why, perhaps they are in demand by the local citizens!
Good luck.
