We really enjoy our stay in your hotel. Good service and good food.

Stayed here one night while waiting for a delayed flight to the US. This is one of the heritage hotels in Asia, along with Raffles in Singapore, E&O in Penang and the Oriental in Bangkok. It keeps up a brave face, and the lobby still exudes colonial grandeur, but the rest of the hotel is slowly fading away. I guess it's because of the management, who insists that there should be "Manila Hotel" written in huge, ugly painted letters on the roof of the newer tower - lest people forget that it is a hotel. The rooms are typical international standard, with some Filipino touches like capiz shell windows. I love the breakfast and lunch buffets - the selections were huge!

It's nice to lounge about in the lobby,staring at the gigantic gilded chandeliers and the wood panels everywhere. The string and piano players add to the atmosphere. I just hope that the management realizes that this place is heritage, and not just a hotel. They shouldn't spoil it with tacky signs or garish tents. They should also try to clean up the Manila Bay water outside, just near the swimming pool. You get an unpleasant whiff that would spoil an otherwise lovely post-prandial walk.

Beautiful property with it's old world charm and unparalleled setting. Unfortunately it's living of it's providence. While parts of the hotel are quite outstanding ,the main lobby and outlets while a bit tired are kept quite well, they've constructed what I can only describe as warehouses that function as ball rooms . The service is still very good with pride in their work. At this point I would not consider this as a true 5 star hotel comparable with the best in the Makati or Ortigas area specially for those who travel a lot and have stayed in other great provident hotels or super luxury hotel gropus but if you are looking for more than the usual luxury chain surroundings and pampering, this may be the hotel for you.

Manila hotel is like a land mark on Manila. It is 100 years old. Refurbished with all the up to date amenities like LCD TV's multiple channels to choose from. Very courteous staff. Free wifi. Complementary drop off to near by Malls. Golf course road cross away. Hotel located next to the Bay.. Rooms/ bathroom are spacious.
