Find hotels near Central LRT Station in Manila, Philippines

I am an American who lives a pretty good life in the Philippines, used to nice hotels and great food. I read many reviews about the Bayview Park Hotel, many of which were negative left by foreigners. I am going to attempt to set the record straight from a foreigners perspective. 1.

I read many reviews about the Bayview Park Hotel, many of which were negative left by foreigners. I am going to attempt to set the record straight from a foreigners perspective. 1. If you are thinking that the Bayview is a 5 star hotel, expecting a 5 star experience, then you are going to be severely disappointed. 2. If you are expecting a very nice hotel for $50 a night with everything you need, then you will be very happy. Lies and Rumors: 1. #706 on the Superior Room Rate without Breakfast. 2. The Staff are wonderful. The people who said that they were rude must not have grumpy because they were extremely nice to us and everyone else. 3. The Hotel does NOT smell, it smell just fine. 4. The rooms are NOT small, they are very large. 5. The bed was a little hard but not too hard. Nice bed. 6. Additional comforters and pillow are available on request for free. 7. The rooms are older but newly updated. They have a fridge, a nice bed, newly painted walls, a really nice bathroom and everything you can want. 8. The AIRCON / Air works GREAT. We had to turn it down because it was so powerful. 9. The location is perfect. We were going to the embassy which is literally steps away from the hotel, but it is also central to everything. 10. Starbucks is in the same building. 11. Chowking, 7/11 and Yellow Cab are about 75 steps away 12. WIFI is available in more expensive rooms but ours was turned on for free. Typically 350 per day. 13. Breakfast was not included in our room because we got the $60 after taxes rate but typically 450 per person in the morning. It seems like a bit steep for the selection so I would NOT get the breakfast package.

The staff's quality of service is like that of a 5-star hotel. All of them are very accomodating and very kind to requests. The room is okay. The breakfast is ala carte but the taste is good/satisfactory. I was a solo traveler and my room has 2 breakfast, I was offered to take the 2 or take the other meal as lunch which was favorable for me.

There was no complimentary bottled water in the room, however they offer service water that can be taken to your room. The hotel's location is very near robinson's mall. Overall, it was worth it.

Ermital is a weird place. It feels like a local neighborhood, and is obviously very poor. There is some modern development consisting of condos and the Robinsons shopping mall complex. Due to it's location near Manila's tourist attractions, Ermita has many budget guesthouses. These guesthouses are cheap, but they are not nice. They are small, old, and dirty.

Due to it's location near Manila's tourist attractions, Ermita has many budget guesthouses. These guesthouses are cheap, but they are not nice. They are small, old, and dirty. If you have a little more to spend, the new Red Planet is a clean, modern refuge in the weirdness of Ermita. The room is small, but that's to be expected in Manila. Despite the small size, the room is sparking clean and modern, and has a huge bed. The AC is strong. The bathroom has a shower stall. The staff is helpful and booked a taxi to the airport for me. Negatives are that due to the small size, there are not many surfaces to put your stuff on. There are no hand towels in the bathroom. And the AC is surprisingly bright, and illuminates the otherwise dark room at night. Despite the minor negatives, I had a nice stay at Red Pl

I've stayed in a hotel in Manila five times, and this one is the best. Basically, for the price, it simply cannot be much better. The only weakness about this hotel is that it is not in the best area of Manila. But, I would gladly reiterate that this hotel happily surprised me!

Basically, for the price, it simply cannot be much better. The only weakness about this hotel is that it is not in the best area of Manila. But, I would gladly reiterate that this hotel happily surprised me! I believe it is much better than even the photos reveal. To be specific, the rooms are outstanding; beautiful design, large beds, super clean linens, and nice wood furniture, refrigerators in standard rooms, nice bathrooms, and nice plasma wall set TV. Remotes controls work perfectly, and the housekeeping is very responsive. Extra towels are no charge and rooms come with nuts and drinks in the fridge, for example, beer and Gatorade; water is complimentary if you request bottles. Staff is at the front desk and completely attentive 24 hours, including doorman to get you a taxi or open doors for you. The pool is beautiful, and nice temp. Beautiful little waterfall. But the biggest surprise is the food!! This hotel has one of the best restaurants in Manila, in my opinion. The executive chef is from Switzerland, his name Chris. The restaurant serves same quality breakfast, as I had Eggs Benedict that was excellent, though it is not free; and same quality lunch, with smaller menu selection. But, if you like rich, delicious Italian food, which is not at the highest prices in the city, then stay at this hotel. I plan to almost always stay at this hotel, when in Manila, unless its all booked. Why? Because the prices are so reasonable, the staff is young, but very hardworking, and unlike most hotels in Manila, it has a pool. Last but not always least, the food is actually some of the best you might ever have.

Casa Bocobo is situated in walking distance of LRT station United Nations. Banks, ATM, money changers (check some rates first as they vary) and restaurants and markets are close. To Rizal Park and Intramuros it's a ten minute's walk, as well as to the nightlife bars of Ermita - just take care who you talk to, there are some suspicious individuals around the area.

To Rizal Park and Intramuros it's a ten minute's walk, as well as to the nightlife bars of Ermita - just take care who you talk to, there are some suspicious individuals around the area. Hotel rooms are rather small but clean and quiet, cable TV and WiFi available. Hotel staff are all super-friendly and helpful. For breakfast it's your choice: tea/coffee/juice and rather Continental style with pancake, toasted bread fried/boiled egg and omelette or the Philippine way with tasty sausages and garlic rice. Will go there again when in Manila!

The hotel is very conveniently located at the heart of Manila downtown. From here you can take a few minutes walking to the closest LRT station to get to Intramuros. Room is fine, but very small and the wall are completely not sound-proof! We could hear people talking all night from other rooms, so be prepared for your privacy not to be able to kept.

Room is fine, but very small and the wall are completely not sound-proof! We could hear people talking all night from other rooms, so be prepared for your privacy not to be able to kept. Also, there was only a linen drap to keep yourself warm, so an extra duvet may be asked for. The breakfast included in the room rate, on the other hand, is surprisingly nice and local.

We decided to stay at this hotel because of its excellent reviews and its affordable rates. Although the hotel is small just 6 floors, the rooms we stayed in are very spacious. Big king bed, big bathroom, big windows! Although they dont have swimming pool, they have big bath tub. My son didnt want to leave the tub and my mom also enjoyed her beauty dip.

Big king bed, big bathroom, big windows! Although they dont have swimming pool, they have big bath tub. My son didnt want to leave the tub and my mom also enjoyed her beauty dip. The location is the best, just across roxas blvd is the museong pambata. walk towards the quirino grand stand and you'll be in manila ocean park. Across the kalaw st is the Luneta Park starting at Rizal monument. Then few minutes walk going to the national museums. Fastfood and restaurants are near the hotel and you wont have problem looking for a place to eat. The staff are friendly, acccommodating, and curteous. They let us leave our baggages since we arrived early and they allowed us to check out late. They also gave us two adjacent rooms as requested. As mentioned, the rates are very affordable. We booked 2 rooms here at Luneta Hotel at a price of 1 room in other hotels. Overall, the experience is really nice and relaxing. We will definitely stay here again.

The hotel has a good location for one in the Ermita Area - it's near an LRT Station, you can easily get a taxi, and there are 7 parking levels available. The room amenities are more than or just about what you would expect for a 3-star hotel: split-type and silent aircon, 21-inch TV, refrigerator, complimentary water, slippers, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, clean T...The hotel has a good location for one in the Ermita Area - it's near an LRT Station, you can easily get a taxi, and there are 7 parking levels available. The room amenities are more than or just about what you would expect for a 3-star hotel: split-type and silent aircon, 21-inch TV, refrigerator, complimentary water, slippers, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, clean T&B with hot and cold shower and sink water. Free wifi is available at the 8th and 9th floors, but it would have been better if it could be available in every room; nevertheless, having it available and free is already good. Unfortunately the front desk is at the 9th floor, I hope they could transfer it to the lobby on the ground floor. The room also smelled dusty upon entering for the first time, but that feeling later disappeared.

I booked for a 6 day stay initially. I was so happy with the hotel I ended up staying an extra week. The room had everything I needed. Fridge, stove/oven, very comfortable bed, on 14th floor so no street noise, A big window that I could open and smell the sea and what a great view down past Makati, to MOA and back towards the city of Manila.

Fridge, stove/oven, very comfortable bed, on 14th floor so no street noise, A big window that I could open and smell the sea and what a great view down past Makati, to MOA and back towards the city of Manila. My aircon was cold and quiet the shower was HOT water with good flow. Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels and bed linen done and floor was swept and rubbish removed. The staff here are so good, I tipped them all which is rare for me! Overall the hotel is older and does need some freshening up, but the foyer is immaculate and the elevators are fast and modern. The hotel has a cafe and bar/restaurant,,,, I didn't use as I had my own cooking, bur from outside it was very new, clean and glitzy and they had plenty of customers so that is always a good guide. I was so happy that after I went and did my business in Laguna I cam back for another week. I won't be staying in any other hotel now, this is my home away from home now. I paid only $41AU a night, no deposit asked for and it was terrific value. Apart from looks I would rate this a 3 to 4 star place, it just lacks the La De Da for 5 stars. Places close by are Robinsons Mall 5mins (walk), Moa 10 mins by taxi about 100php, Ocean Park 10 mins, casino 5mins, 100's of restaurants around, and Manila Bay Walk is across Roxas Boulevard via a pedestrian bridge. L.A bar in one block away if you want to watch the footy or have a dance, just dodge the bar girls and you will be right.. they are friendly and won't annoy you if they understand you just there for a drink. Touts and beggars are everywhere in Malate, you get used to saying "no peso" it is a few pickpockets that you need to watch for, and they are children about 11yo...okay!!! Anyways hope this review helps you and enjoy your stay in Manila. C ya!

Location good for me – I like this area – been many times. Took room on 4th floor as was supposed to have a safety box – there was not but too tired to change – they should have safety boxes in more of the rooms anyway The room was spacious room, air-con good – had fridge, bench and sink small table to work on Beds comfy enough, room clean and serviced daily The towel...Location good for me – I like this area – been many times.

Staff are all very helpful Wi-Fi is ok on Mobile but couldn’t pick up my laptop Overall place is good value for money They dont take credit cards Cash only

You get the most of what you need, i.e. a place to spend a night or 2 in, to attend to business within the vicinity. It's not 5 star amenities but you can't and must not expect that for the small price you pay. If that's what you want book other hotels that are 5 stars, and cost appropriately much more, around the same area.

It's not 5 star amenities but you can't and must not expect that for the small price you pay. If that's what you want book other hotels that are 5 stars, and cost appropriately much more, around the same area. The important thing is to set your expectations according to what you are willing to pay for. I would book and recommend this same hotel for similar purpose.

In the room that they put us was nice and clean, however, they decided to upgrade our room to a deluxe without additional charges. The deluxe room is much better, bigger, has wider beds. The breakfast is free from 6a to 10am, food sellection not alot, but still enough. Hotel cleaners nice and very good, they do not touch any belongings that we brought, I felt very safe while staying here. Staffs were very nice and accomodating to our requests. Location, great, very close to everything, to embassy, mall of asia, lrt, robinson,... Food prices were very expensive, but the hotel is sorrounded by different restaurants to eat so it is better to go out to eat lunch and dinner. For the value of money, it would say that it is good value, but when they upgraded me, wow! this is excellent! I would reccomend it to anyone, and I go back again if I need another trip.

Main advantage of the hotel is that it's new with modern design, hence everything works and is clean. I'm not quite sure how will the design suitable for homes sustain in place like this hotel for few years (e.g. shower door leading to the room when sealing around the glass doors wears off or elevated sink with tight spaces around). Yellow and green colors are annoyin...Main advantage of the hotel is that it's new with modern design, hence everything works and is clean. I'm not quite sure how will the design suitable for homes sustain in place like this hotel for few years (e.g. shower door leading to the room when sealing around the glass doors wears off or elevated sink with tight spaces around). Yellow and green colors are annoying and look cheap, but it's part of branding so not much to be said. Overall pleasant stay in the hotel, but no breakfast option. Hotel beds are comfortable, tv works. Not much storage space for clothing in the room, but in-room safe is definitely a plus. Separate toilet with sink and shower (but be prepared, that hotel gives you only one soap bar to share in both). Another unpleasant surprise is that hotel charges for storage of luggage after check-out. They have on-site laundry and massage services, which are quite overprices compared to options just few steps outside of hotel door.

Second stay at this this hotel. This time I booked a room that supposedly isn’t windowless but what I still got was a windowless room on the fourth floor. The internet at that time was acting up but when it was reported to their staff, they immediately fixed it. Location is within walking distance to Manila Embassy and to Robinsons Manila.

The internet at that time was acting up but when it was reported to their staff, they immediately fixed it. Location is within walking distance to Manila Embassy and to Robinsons Manila. There are a lot of 24-hour convenience stores and fast food stores located nearby which is great. There is also an internet shop next door which is convenient as I needed some documents printed. The staff were accommodating. Overall, it’s a nice and cheap place to stay in if you have your embassy interview or your medical in St. Luke’s.

The main reason my wife and I stayed at this hotel was because it it very close to the US Embassy. Its about an 8 minute walk to the Embassy and to St. Luke's Extension Clinic. The rooms in this hotel are small, and you can easily hear people walking around the hallways, but the cleanliness makes up for these shortcomings.

Its about an 8 minute walk to the Embassy and to St. Luke's Extension Clinic. The rooms in this hotel are small, and you can easily hear people walking around the hallways, but the cleanliness makes up for these shortcomings. Most hotels at this price are not clean but Hotel Juliano is clean and the shower is hot. If you want a small clean hotel for a cheap price then this is a great choice. If you want to sleep in luxury while spending your time in Manila then this is not your best option.

I liked this hotel and for a three star it is up there with the best. Our room was large and clean. The bathroom was ok, everything worked, and the hot water was HOT! Always a bonus. The restaurant was great having a not only a standard "global" menu but a very nice Italian menu too. I don't normally eat "in" at any hotel I/we stay at but this was to good to pass up, e...I liked this hotel and for a three star it is up there with the best. Our room was large and clean. The bathroom was ok, everything worked, and the hot water was HOT! Always a bonus. The restaurant was great having a not only a standard "global" menu but a very nice Italian menu too. I don't normally eat "in" at any hotel I/we stay at but this was to good to pass up, excellent food, at a very reasonable price. One of the few hotels worldwide that I've ever said this about. Will I stay again......sure will :-) On the downside my tv was well past its use by date, an old boxy set with poor pic and sound, also to small for the room. But who goes on holiday to watch tv? The set breakfast wasn't up to much either, not much at all. I would rather pay less for the room and eat out or even be given a voucher in lieu of have the set breakfast and putting it towards a very nice meal in their excellent restaurant in the evening. This is also only the second hotel I have ever stayed in that has direct access to a casino. I don't gamble myself but I'm sure that this feature would appeal to some.

I had the loveliest time at Miramar Hotel! Stayed for two nights, just for an event in the adjacent Hotel. Miramar is quite beautiful, a true art deco place. Carpeted stairs, ornate decor, and an airy open interior. I was given a corner room on the 4th floor. (I booked the most basic one, so if that's it then wow, and if I was upgraded, then awesome!)

Carpeted stairs, ornate decor, and an airy open interior. I was given a corner room on the 4th floor. (I booked the most basic one, so if that's it then wow, and if I was upgraded, then awesome!) I had SO MUCH SPACE and I loved it. The room was worth so much. The bed was comfy, and the bathroom spotlessly clean. Seriously, spotlessly clean. There was no hint of mold. It's true that there's a bit of karaoke noise from downstairs but it wasn't too bad, and during my stay the singing usually stopped around half past midnight anyway. People who sleep late, like myself, would have no issues. I also tried their breakfast, which I didn't purchase with the room. Generous servings, and very fast service! I had ordered in advance, expecting the normal hotel wait for room service, but lo and behold barely ten minutes later, here was my food. No free wifi in the room, but you can grab a card worth PHP 100 for three hours from the front desk. Expensive, but a much better bargain than Microtel's PHP 100 for one hour! And the net is fast so it's worth it. Or you could go to the lobby where it's free. Best part of the hotel: the staff. Particularly manong guard at the front. If hotel management is reading this please do say thank you to manong guard for making my stay a very pleasant one! All in all, I'll be staying at this hotel again when the need to be in Manila arises. (Lastly, Emerald Garden is a two minute walk away in the direction of Starbucks! Go there for the best siopao in the Philippines! Ah, and yes, there's a Chowking, a Starbucks open until 1am, and a 24-hour 7-11 right beside the hotel.)

I didn't expect much from this place as I only needed to stay 1 night in a hostel near immigration in intramuros & I was in a hurry but it's clean,comfy bed,tv, hot shower, SM right across the road, LRT central terminal 5mins away where you can hop on and go to Gil Puyat terminal to catch one of the many buses to Batangas Pier (bus terminal is right beside Gil Puyat st...I didn't expect much from this place as I only needed to stay 1 night in a hostel near immigration in intramuros & I was in a hurry but it's clean,comfy bed,tv, hot shower, SM right across the road, LRT central terminal 5mins away where you can hop on and go to Gil Puyat terminal to catch one of the many buses to Batangas Pier (bus terminal is right beside Gil Puyat station). The rooms are large. I stayed in a budget room with 3 beds which have partitions that provide privacy. The shower is fine & there's a tv.The wifi is in the lobby which is plagued by mosquitos(while I was there anyway) For the most part I gave 3 or 4 stars for this place simply because it was ideal for my purposeful visit. I didn't try the food & there's no complimentary breakfast provided. The staff were smiley & polite but no one shows you to the room or offers tips/suggestions. I'll probably stay there again the next time I need to go to immigration as it's ideally situated.

The house keeping staff was very friendly and professional. I had a couple of issues with the room and when i brought them to the hotel staff they corrected them right away. I brought a camera with me and the hotel loaned me a transformer for the room so i could charge the battery of the camera because local power is 220v. The hotel restaurant is very nice and friendly but they charge american prices for their meals.
