"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." Full review

"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."

"Close to the amenities of Makati, such as the popular Power Plant mall, but without the hefty price tag of an international chain... All rooms are nonsmoking." Full review
Rough Guide
"This Art Deco gem is more South Beach than south Manila, an atmospheric budget hotel that opened in 2009. Rooms are simple but spacious... The only catch is its relative proximity to girlie bars."
