I can't believe it—just passed my U.S. Embassy interview after staying at Red Planet Manila Bay! The moment I walked into the hotel, I noticed the beautiful prayer hand in the lobby—it felt like a sign of good luck. Honestly, I was nervous before the interview, but being here made me feel calm and positive. The room was clean, modern, and super affordable. Location is great—close to everything without the high price tag. It’s not just a hotel; it felt like a place that brought me strength and blessings. Thank you, Red Planet, for such a meaningful stay. I’ll definitely come back!

I absolutely loved my stay at the Majestic Hotel (formerly Octagon Mansion Hotel) in Manila! The room was immaculately clean with a fresh, pleasant scent that made me feel instantly relaxed. The 24-hour hot water shower was a game-changer—perfect for any time of day. All the essentials were provided, including quality toiletries and a powerful yet quiet air conditioner. I appreciated the mini-fridge and electric kettle, which came in handy for keeping drinks cold or charging devices. The staff and security team were incredibly welcoming and attentive—always ready to help with a smile. The bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on: clean, supportive, and perfect whether traveling solo, as a couple, or with family. And the location? Unbeatable—just about 50 steps from Robinson’s Mall, making shopping, dining, and exploring super easy. This hotel is a hidden gem with top-tier comfort and convenience. Highly recommended!

Absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Sogo Malate! The cleanliness and overall ambiance were outstanding—everything felt fresh and well-maintained. We had a wonderful time with my daughter, and the location made exploring Manila so convenient. Just a short walk to the metro, and we were able to visit nearby attractions without hassle. The room was spacious, comfortable, and very well-designed, with a great bed that ensured a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom was modern and had excellent water pressure—perfect for a relaxing shower after a long day of sightseeing. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our visit. With its great value, family-friendly vibe, and central spot, I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this hotel to other travelers looking for comfort and convenience in Manila.

We were initially assigned a double bed, but when we requested two single beds instead, the front desk staff immediately accommodated our request with no hassle. Their willingness to assist made a great impression right from the start. The hotel's location is fantastic—very central and easy to get around, whether you're exploring the city or heading to nearby attractions. Everything about the stay felt smooth and well-organized, from check-in to checkout. Clean rooms, friendly service, and excellent value for money. Definitely a place I'd recommend and return to.

Staying at Hotel H2O was an unforgettable experience. The room design is truly unique—no windows, but the aquarium feature completely steals the show. It’s not just decorative; the fish swim actively even when the lights are off at night, adding a calming, almost magical ambiance without disrupting sleep. I was genuinely impressed by how well it all works together—serene, immersive, and thoughtfully designed. Plus, the hotel’s location is fantastic—just a short walk or quick transit ride from the historic district. Everything you need is nearby, making exploration easy and convenient. This place offers more than just a stay—it’s an atmosphere, a vibe. If you’re looking for something different, memorable, and beautifully executed, Hotel H2O is absolutely worth a visit.

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.

This hotel never disappoints — it’s always a great choice. The rooms are spotless, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the city views from the windows are simply breathtaking. This is already my fifth stay here, and every time I’ve experienced the same high standard of comfort and consistency. It’s clear they truly care about guest satisfaction. Plus, the location is unbeatable: just a short walk to Robinsons Manila for shopping, right next to Pedro Gil LRT Station for easy transit, and only steps away from Luneta Park — perfect for morning strolls or evening relaxation. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this place offers everything you need in a central, vibrant part of Manila. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality, convenience, and value.

The food here is truly excellent—fresh, well-prepared, and satisfying every single meal. We appreciated the variety and quality, especially after long days of appointments. The location couldn’t be better either—just a short walk from everything we needed, including hospitals, public transport, and local eateries. It’s quiet yet central, making it ideal for both comfort and convenience. This hotel exceeded our expectations in every way, especially during a difficult period. I can’t recommend it enough—will definitely return if we ever need to come back to Manila.

This has been my 10th stay at this hotel, and every visit gets better. They’re constantly upgrading the facilities—this time, they added a new security feature in the elevator, which is both smart and reassuring. The service has always been top-notch, and they even remembered our preference for a room near the elevator. That kind of attention to detail makes all the difference. Definitely a standout choice in Manila, and I’ll be back without hesitation.

The entire stay was seamless and stress-free from start to finish. The host shared all the essential details in advance, which made everything easy to manage and helped set the tone for a relaxing trip. The property is well-maintained, with clean rooms and thoughtful amenities that made us feel at home.
