2-Star Hotels in Metro Manila, Philippines

I stayed quite a lot of days at room 412 waiting for my travel VISA ac was standard clanky but good enough for my sleep, hot shower is perfect，towels clean, bring your toileties, would be nice if tv signal is good, pillowcsse needs new ones, it was all Clean though, however if you had some noisy guests midnight with their doors, it would not like it. 8/10

Aside from the hotel's convenient location near attractions and the airport, it's also very clean and has everything you need, just like any Sogo hotel. So, I highly recommend it to all travelers and couples looking for a place to chill or stay. Thanks to Trip.com, my booking for both the flight and hotel was incredibly fast. Thank you, until next time!

I arrived at 8pm at the hostel and I was warmly welcomed by the front desk officer. They offered me to get a free late check-in cocktails from the bar. This hostel is a perfect fit for solo travelers with budget. I slept in the 8-bed mixed dorm room and the size is quite huge for its price. I was the last guest in that room and everyone was really nice welcoming me. I got new friends from different part of the world such as Russia, Taiwan, The USA and Kenya. As Indonesian who is extremely extroverted, I am really happy with my kind roommate. The toilet is dry and there’s a curtain that separates the shower. You have to bring your own soap and shampoo or you can purchase them in the lobby. They provide towels but you should ask for it when you do the check in. The light breakfast and free drinks at 6 to 7pm everyday is the highlight of this hostel. If I am going back to Manila, I will definitely stay here again!

This was one of the best hotel I stayed at in Manila. I had some hesitations about the shared toilet and bathroom, but they were quite clean by Philippine standards. The hotel even has a pool, so you can sit by the pool in the evening and meet other guests. However, our room didn't have a window and was a bit damp. The only downside of the hotel is that the surroundings aren't very safe. You need to be cautious around the hotel if you're a foreigner. Mall of Asia is only 10-minutes by Jeepney. The hotel is also close to the airport for those leaving the city.

The room we booked was too tiny. Din expect the room can accommodate 2 person, as described. There is literally not enough space on the bed itself. What should be a queen size bed is only a super single plus bed size. We had to curls our legs while sleeping. We requested for drinking water but the receptionist said we only entitled to 2 drinking water once. We stayed for 2 nights there. That was quite a small favour to ask normally every other accommodation would provide that. Another significant downside is the noise! It’s really noisy even 3 in the morning because of the location and room that we were given is facing the main road and pedestrians bridge. Last but maybe the most regret we had to face is the room is blazing hot. At noon the room was directly facing the burning sun light not even the blinder could cover it. I have proof in the photos where our room was filled with sun during mid day. If I can find something good about our stay maybe the elevator and WiFi that actually works. Good job on that. Aside from that, Definitely won’t be coming back here again.

Our second time to stay here and no doubt, the staffs are very approachable and easy to transact with them. Regarding the room, the previous one is better than now but nonetheless, both clean and has free wifi. Recommended!

The hotel is located in a local area where residents gather, and unlike a tourist spot, you can walk around without being bothered by touts, which feels very safe. There are many local Filipino restaurants nearby, making it an excellent choice for travelers looking to experience authentic local food. Perhaps because I was on the top floor, the shower pressure was terrible, more like a drizzle, which was frustrating. I had to use the hand shower in the adjoining toilet to rinse off soap. There's no elevator, so you have to use the stairs, but if you have heavy luggage, the front desk staff will help carry it for you. As others have mentioned, be aware that you'll be charged a significant fee if you use the electric kettle, mugs, forks, or spoons provided in the room (so just don't use them if you want to avoid the charge). The best part, though, is having a private room at this price.

It is a nice hotel in a central location. It is about a 15 minute walk to a major mall and has many small restaurants close by. The area is residential, it is not touristy, but it is easy to take a grab anywhere. Staff is helpful ang friendly.

I was a good location and clean and the staff is nice and accommodating 😊
