The Manila Hotel Review

The people are good and the live music was beautiful

Classic hotel that manila can offer.
Still the best hotel.

Nice rooms and good food. Pool area a little small when there are many guest. Would love to return any time.

One of the oldest hotel in Manila Phils. beside the Manila bay

Like going back in time. The decor on the inside of the Hotel is very well done.

I like how it looks different from the other hotels in the city, very old manila. The restaurants serves great food too

A good hotel with perfect service provided to all its guest

Great hotel. Looks basic on the outside but great from the inside.

Rooms are dated but clean. Actually it helps with the ambiance of old school opulence and charm. You have everything you need from toiletries to slippers. Bed is comfortable and sheets are of high quality. Bathroom is also dated but clean, good size and bathtub is of good size to take a bath in. There is a walk in shower separate from the tub. Front desk and staff are all excellent and polite. Awesome customer service. Definitely a good place to stay while in manila.

Manila Hotel still one of the best 5 star Hotels in the Philippines

Aside the food at Ilang Ilang... All hotel personnel are polite and friendly

excellent!!!! the wow factor for the hotel itself is overwhelming the staff are also friendly that's why I keep on coming back every time I go home to Philippines, this is one iconic Hotel that I am so proud to recommend to my colleges here in the UK, I always tell them to visit Manila Hotel for the experience of a true Pilipino Hospitality, mabuhay po kayo.

Still one of the best hotels in Manila. Amenities are great and staff are very friendly and accommodating. Five star indeed.

The hotel was wonderful and the staff accomodating. The buffet breakfast was really nice and came free are room. Only negative was there was a long line to check out.

Good food and service. You will feel right at home.

Very friendly service fascinating surroundings beautiful view from the room

Of course, the hotel is old but it was renovated well. Location is very convenient. Parking is not a problem.

Nice pool, great gym, good breakfast. Service is just average. Rooms are a bit old but in good condition.

The present Manila Hotel perhaps needs a makeover. The carpets are old/faded & rather dusty....there is a moldy smell in the corridors and the rooms. The food seemed rather uninspired as well ... taste & flavor of the meals that we ate were not consistent during our 4 day convention there....nothing outstanding. Service at the front desk was also not consistently good (although I personally met no problems there). On the other hand, Housekeeping section was generally quick & helpful except for some misses in the beginning...the third bed was added in the room after several hours despite being paid for already upon check-in...still had to ask separately for basic toiletries for third guest (which I think should have been an automatic action on their part). Liked the fact, though, that pianists played regularly at the Lobby.

Nothing is as historic as the grand dame, from the distinctive lobby to the sampaguita-themed design of the rooms. I'm taken with the excellent pastries and local cakes at the breakfast buffet. I still can't forget the old world charm and service we had one lunch at the champagne room. Fads come and go, but there can only be one Manila hotel

Really nice collonial experience. Staffs are friendly with their spanish-like outfit. The ambience is also good. Clean room, location are perfect, easy to access.

Stayed here 17 days. My 3rd time staying in the area - near the embassy. Its the top place to stay, its very nice and very good staff. I really enjoyed the staff we encountered daily. Highly recommend to stay here if you are willing to pay for the top end hotels.

It's the Grand Dame so it has to be grand after all...

The best place for my 30th birthday.
In God's will and thru my efforts, I will return back the soonest possible time.

very nice and prestigious lixury hotel in the philippines

Ilang Ilang is still the same as it was, a charming venue any time of the day.

Still very decent. The old rooms are kinda creepy through. They need to change the carpet too.

Very good hotel. Pt lunch more than excellant!
Nice swimming pool

Luxury and elegance, that's the general feel of the place. The historic Manila Hotel may be old but it can still compete with newer hotels in terms of amenities. Service is far better than most hotels in the country.

Very good buffet,lots of international selection.The staff are all courteous and very well dress in the traditional Filipiniana clothes,that will take you back in time.

The best hotel for me. The lobby is so nice and grand. The room is also very nice.

Beautiful building, nice room hard working friendly staff

They improved from the last time I was there. The AC is cooler than last year and the buffet is Fabulous

If you're looking for a place to stay in Manila, I highly recommend this hotel. You might want to look on to the offers in their website.
Super friendly staff and great service!

Beautifull place that we can spend together with my family.

A beautiful old-time hotel with great views of the park, Intramuros and downtown. The room we stayed in was lovely.

We ate in the Chinese restaurant, where the food was delicious and was better value than the lunch/dinner buffet. The brrakfast buffet was quite extensive, offering huge choices.

It's not the cheapest of hotels by Philippine standards but by worldwide standards it's quite reasonable.

The only negative thing is that I felt a little ripped off by the chocolatier. The price of a box of 20 chocolates was 50% more than buying 20 individual chocolates, making the price of the box by itself almost US$9/ 8 (at Apr 2015 exchange rates).

Would I stay there again? Absolutely!

One of the best hotel experience I've had here in manila
