Hotel H2O

Staying at Hotel H2O was an unforgettable experience. The room design is truly unique—no windows, but the aquarium feature completely steals the show.

The Suites at Torre Lorenzo Malate

We arrived from the airport via a Grab ride (be cautious—local touts may try to convince you the official fare is 2500 PHP, and some signs even suggest that—but it's not true). The hotel is just a 5- to 7-minute walk from Robinsons Mall, and honestly, I’d highly recommend staying in this area of Manila. It’s a tourist-friendly zone with strong security presence and frequent police patrols, so it feels safe and well-maintained. The property itself is a tall modern building, and upon arrival, you’re greeted by two adorable little dogs at the front desk—so sweet! The suite is sleek and recently renovated, featuring a high-quality mattress on a comfortable bed. There’s a compact kitchenette at the entrance with a microwave, fridge, kettle, and toaster—perfect for self-catering. A large bottle of drinking water is provided too. Since we had access to a kitchen, we skipped breakfast altogether, though they offer a separate meal option for around 400 PHP per person if needed. Storage space is limited—no full wardrobe—but there’s a closet rod, bedside table, safe, iron, and ironing board, which covers most essentials. Bathroom amenities are top-notch: high-quality shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap, and toothbrushes—all provided, so no need to bring your own toiletries. While the room is on a high floor, street noise is noticeable, but the air conditioning helps a lot—especially with outdoor temperatures hitting 36°C. Once the AC is running, it’s not distracting at all. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely return.
