"The most modern and stylish of Malate’s midrange hotels. Unfortunately, many rooms stink of smoke."

Rough Guide
"One of the best mid-range hotels on the block, with 83 small but clean and smart boutique-style rooms. The main downside (for non-smokers) is that the whole hotel is smoker friendly."

"Its public areas and older rooms could use a renovation in places, but the newer rooms are arguably the best and most luxurious in the city -- and you simply can't beat it for Old Manila charm."

Insight Guides
"This legendary hotel will appeal to World War II history buffs. One of the oldest buildings in the capital, it once hosted General Douglas MacArthur."
