โรงแรมมะนิลา พรินเซส, มะนิลา

Stayed one night. All good. Excellent staff, very keen to please. Hotel has recently reopened after being closed for several years. The renovation has incorporated a good mix of the older features of the hotel and the more modern fixtures that have recently been added. It is still a work in progress and things will get even better over the coming months. Spotlessly clean rooms, large TVs, kettle with tea and coffee, great WiFi with very strong signal. One negative was there was space for a fridge but no fridge present. I'm sure they are working on remediating this(they would be mad if they are not). Great breakfast buffet in beautiful dining room. Meals also available short walk down the street from several newish restaurants and takeaways. Hotel is in Ermita where one must stay for at least a couple of nights if new to the Philippines, that is if you want to experience the "real" Manila, warts and all.

Our stay was great. From day one til our last day here.

It was a bit further from the airport than we thought. With traffic, it takes about an hour to get there.
