Find hotels in Jollibee Padre Faura

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. 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. 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

Hotel is located in the heart of Ermita, which has a lot of history that is definitely work looking at and the area ( Fort Santiago, Rizal Park, Ocean world, Robinson's shopping centre, US Embassy, Manila Bay, and Malate Church, just to name a few that are all within walking distance ) many many years ago was once was home to Manila's elite class. Hotel staff are very good and efficient, rooms are good and are as expected for the price. Buffet breakfast is sufficient and the other paid meals in the restaurant are of a good standard. Rooms are secure, air conditioned, mini safe and bar fridge and all work well. Complimentary papers are supplied to each floor every morning. All amenities required ( 7/11 and shops ) are withing walking distance. Dad's Kamayan, Restaurant, in Padre Faura Street, is an excellent 5 star buffet restaurant,at 888 pesos per person and is located a 3 minute walk from hotel. Also check out G Point and La Cafe, but be on guard.

Agoda flashed a super sale for the deluxe room and I grabbed it for 3 days. My room was large & clean; the bed was comfortable. There were many TV channels. The Swimming Pool was Good. The staff were friendly. I enjoyed my stay; should have booked longer. Thanks, Agoda! It's in a Non-Halal area, so i got Pork & Alcohol easily. It's beside an old walled Catholic Cemetary Park (Paco Park); some Rooms overlook this. The fortress-like walls contain Niche Tombs; I found this park quite pleasant to relax in. This park is lighted & locked at night, with an armed guard (to keep ghosts in ?, Ha!). I never saw any ghosts (perhaps they went to America to look for work) The hot water shower is problematic. The storage heater keept switching between hot & cold water during my shower. My bathroom was extra large. One problem affecting the hotels here is beggars; the children accost you for money. There are several "trishaw rooms" around the area; families actually rent & sleep in the trishaws, and on the pavement, opposite Paco Park. It's a 15 minute walk to Robinsons Mall along a badly lighted street (Padre Faura); dont step on someone sleeping on the pavement at night. If you walk back from Robinsons at night, use a torch to avoid cracks & holes in the pavement. (From Robinsons to the waterfront, the street is well lighted). The wifi network was poor. Overall, it was good value & I would definitely stay here again. A Lovely Place.

The room I booked via Agoda was cheap with breakfast included. The rate was a steal I think for a junior room which is quite big for a solo traveller. 3 persons could still fit in. Just 1 issue with the aircon - it gets noisy all of a sudden (or maybe I was not aware that it was auto-timed or something). Slippers, I think it was just sanitized. But I prefer disposable. Food for breakfast was good, just the kind of breakfast that I want. No iron to fix my crumpled clothes. Had to extend until 4pm charged 50% - almost the same amount i paid for the initial 1 night stay. I liked the location,m aside from the small cafe adjacent to the hotel, you have many choices where to eat. Common fastfoods like Jollibee, McDo, Chowking, Shakeys, etc. are there. And it very near St. Luke's Medical Clinic. Overall, I would still choose to go back to this hotel. This time try the loft room maybe. I am one satisfied guest here.

I liked Gran Prix hotel because it is very near the US Embassy. I just had to walk early morning going to the hotel. Another best feature is that it does not flood in the area. When I went to Manila, it was raining pretty hard. My taxi took a wrong turn and we ended up at the Pedro Gila where water was already very high. Walking to Padre Fauna area, where Gran Prix is, there was no stuck water at all. And in the evening, you can still find open restaurants and internet cafe where you can print out requirements.

Was in town for medical check-up at US VA. Always stay at Cherry Blossoms due to it's great location. It's literally right outside to Padre Faura entrance of Robinsons Place Manila (Ermita). Close distance to US Embassy and VA, 15-20 mins depending traffic. For the cheap room rates, their facilities are alright. A bit outdated, but provides you the nice essentials for a nice stay. Granted their bed mattresses need updating as it would sink in the middle even with only my 121 lb father of 80 years old lying on it. Air Conditioner is an older wall unit, very loud but still brings good cold air. Hot water takes a couple minutes of running before it comes it's very good and hot when it does come. Wifi speed is average, my Smart cellphone data is slightly faster though. Breakfast is buffet with the standard Filipino treats, rice, potato mojos, fried sliced ham squares, beef loaf, baked fish. They also have pancakes and a cook-to-order egg station. Front door staff very helpful.

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. 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.

Despite many strengths and being much newer than its competitors, strange anti-guest policies force me not to recommend the Pearl Manila Hotel. Outside food no longer allowed to be brought into rooms even though the rather limited room service menu is not available after 10PM. Visitors after 10PM must register. A very weird damage deposit policy seems to be sporadically enforced. The longtime hotel manager reluctantly admitted the hotel owners want a one thousand peso policy for even a one night stay. Outrageous! And this damage deposit policy is not mentioned or explained when you book a room. Walk out of the backside of the small ground floor lobby (real lobby is on 9th floor)and thru the rather tiny ground floor mini mall to Taft Ave. Turn left towards Padre Faura Ave and walk about two minutes. Get your taxi there so it can make a U turn thru an opening in the lane divider to get to Robinsons Mall or anywhere else in the Ermita section of town (bars like LA Cafe, G Point Bar etc.). If you take a tsxi at the hotel's front door on General Luna you immediately hit traffic gridlock at intersection of Padre Faura and General Luna Avenues.

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. 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!

For anyone having there doubts about where’s a good hotel you need to look no further I stayed here 4 times n will continue coming to this hotel .For one thing they have a elevator to where others you have to walk up a flight of stairs n he rooms are nice n clean you get free breakfast n let me tell you it’s out of this world great .The staff very friendly n your 2 blocks away from the SM Mall to .of course there’s free WiFi n they have a computer in the lobby you can use to .belive me when I tell you this have stayed in a lot of hotels n there have been some I called The Hotel From Hell cause looking at the place online was nice but getting there n finally seeing the room omg what a dump So don’t even think about The Manila Hotel that place is filthy So I recommended if you want a hotel n friendly staff Silver Springs is the best it’s a 10 plus hotel n I’ll book there anytime I go to Manila

We stayed in a very cozy room on the top floor for 12 days and both of us really liked it. The room was very clean and there were no bugs or anything like that. The room wasn't huge, but big enough for us as a couple to enjoy it, having spent the majority of our time within the hotel room. The staff were exceptionally nice and always smiling. The location is great too, as it's close to the US Embassy, close to St. Luke's Medical place (for those who need to do medical exams for a visa), close to Robinson's Place (a huge mall with everything you can imagine), close to Luneta (Rizal) Park, with Jollibee and a small minimart just across the street, along with other food places and shops all around. The hotel also offers laundry service and airport pick-up and drop-off service (the pick-up fee is 1,200P [about $24 US dollars] and the drop-off fee is 600P [about $12 US dollars], plus a toll fee of 45P [90 cents]). The room had a pretty big TV with a reasonable amount of channels as well.

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 towels have reached their use-by date – lash out please and buy some new ones – they are cheap enough in Robinsons which is very close by Plenty of restaurants bars and nightlife close by too Small TV with limited channels but one OK News Channel Al Jazeera Breakfast was included but limited selection -- Also that area is on the roof and very hot – if closed in and air-conditioned could be a good cafeteria and people not only guests would use – please look at that idea. 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. 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.

if want somewhere near the us embassy or immigration, this is one of the best hotels i've stayed its not only the hotel rooms but the staff were so accommodating your needs friendly and as well you can ask simple help from this hotel, not only that me and my hubby were just enjoying it here caused it was just walking distance from robinsons mall and aside from it although its far from my project site but it was near to our follow ups at the immigration, the buffet breakfast was satisfying and the food was scrumptious indeed if have good taste yes it was real fine dining in this hotel. soon we will be booking here again caused its one of the best we had and one of the nicest thing was staff was accommodating to all of their guest. couple on a break

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. 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.

It is the perfect location for where I needed to be that day. I appreciate the hotel staff and the guard on duty for taking the initiative to let my elderly parents in so they can rest. They don't charge me for the early check in, even though I left by midnight just beacuse I finished my task early. I also get the car park space that I requested. It is a basic and clean hotel. If you have appointment near St. Lukes this is the best affordable place to stay.

I decided to book on this hotel because it is one of the hotels near the NHCP Bldg where i attended a 3day seminar and I've read good reviews from guests. Now it's my time to give my review. Well, everything that I've read and expected have been met or even exceeded. Excellent location! Very accessible, about 3-5 mins walk from the NHCP Bldg. Near to Catholic Church, 7 eleven, Jollibee, Rizal Park and US Embassy. The room is clean with private CR and bathroom with hot and cold shower and TV. I enjoyed my 3-night stay in this hotel and I would love to come back if I need an accommodation again. I recommend this hotel.

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!) 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.)

Moved to this hotel from another in the same neighborhood because I needed to cut my expenses. BP was less than half the price of the first hotel for essentially the same level of accommodations. The "single deluxe" is not what Americans would consider "deluxe." Although the room was spacious, the furnishings were minimal in the extreme--a "single" bed (not a twin) about the size of a cot, a small night stand, one small chair were the only furnishings. The bed was comfortable, and the staff carefully made it up with fancily-folded towel and bedspread. There was a small LCD tv attached to the wall with about 60 cable channels. (Note that none of the hotels I have stayed in in Manila had cable service that provided anything approaching a decent picture. This includes a couple of 4-star hotels.) The room had large windows with nice views of the city. There was a sink in the room, in addition to the one in the bathroom. The bathroom was small but adequate. Everything (except TV cable) worked well. After my initial stay of 3 days, I extended for an additional 3 days instead of moving to a fancier place that I had planned on. I was very happy with these accommodations for the price, and enjoyed several long conversations with the very friendly staff.

M Hotel Manila is just a stone's throw away from the U.S. Embassy, Manila (5-minute walk) which was very convenient for us. Just beside it are Jollibee, Wendy's and 7-11 to satisfy our fast food cravings at ungodly hours. A 30-minute cab ride to the airport (depending on traffic), 20-minute cab ride to Mall of Asia, 10-minute walk to Robinson's Place -- great location!! The staff was accommodating. Our room was small but it was clean with fresh linens. All in all, a good hotel that's budget-friendly.

The hotel staff was very friendly and professional during my stay. The room was very clean and comfortable. 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.
