Manila hotels and lodging guide
Manila hotels are great value
As the capital city of the Philippines, there are a great variety of Manila hotels boasting five star facilities for very reasonable rates. Many people come to the city for business and so a large proportion of hotels in Manila cater specifically towards this crowd, although the benefits with free WiFi internet and late check out times benefit all visitors to the metropolis.
Many tourists who visit the city want to stay right in the historic district, but there are not a great number of high quality Manila hotels in Intramuros. The nearest neighbourhood with a good range of accommodation in Manila is Ermita, and there is a wide cariety of nightlife and bars around here. It is not the most affluent area of the city, however, and many people prefer to find Manila hotels in the business area of Makati.
Makati is filled with Manila resorts which feature five start facilities such as health clubs, spas and even golf courses. These are some of the best value rooms in Manila when you take the standard of service into consideration. There are also near a wide range of shopping malls and hospitality attractions, as well as the commercial centre for those in the city on business.
Those on a budget will find Manila guesthouses and cheap backpacker digs all over the city, especially in the historic neighbourhoods of Malate and Ermita. What these places lack in plush facilities is made up in location and superb value-for-money.
