About Hotels in Manila
Manila rewards curious travellers with an extraordinary range of experiences, from exploring the Spanish colonial ramparts of Intramuros and the treasures of the National Museum of Fine Arts, to cheering at a passionate basketball game in the city that lives for the sport. The street food scene - from sizzling isaw to silky halo-halo - is as essential as any landmark, and the bay sunsets viewed from Roxas Boulevard are among the most spectacular in Southeast Asia.
Accommodation ranges from grand five-star properties along the Manila Bay waterfront in Malate and Ermita to sleek modern hotels in the upscale enclave of Makati. The city's Light Rail Transit lines and an abundance of ride-hailing apps make getting between neighbourhoods straightforward and affordable.
Where to Stay in Manila
Intramuros and Ermita
The ideal base for first-time visitors. Colonial-era Intramuros, Rizal Park, and the National Museum complex are all within easy reach, making this the most historically rich and walkable part of central Manila.
Makati
Manila's most polished and upscale district, home to luxury hotels, fine-dining restaurants, and the smart boutiques of Greenbelt. Consistently the top choice for travellers seeking a refined, well-serviced stay.
Malate
A lively, creative quarter with a bohemian edge, independent restaurants, art galleries, and a buzzing nightlife strip. Its position along Manila Bay means stunning sunset views are practically guaranteed from your doorstep.
Bonifacio Global City
A quieter, tree-lined alternative with wide pedestrianised streets, excellent international dining, and a relaxed pace. Popular with travellers who want modern comforts, open green spaces, and easy access to the rest of the city.
Airport and Transport Guide
Manila is served by Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), the country's main international gateway, with direct flights connecting to destinations across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and beyond. The airport's four terminals are linked to the city by the Airport Shuttle Bus, which runs routes to major areas including Makati, Ermita, and Pasay, with journey times of around 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The Metrostar Express (MRT Line 3) station at EDSA is accessible from the terminals via a short taxi or bus ride, and metered taxis operate around the clock from all terminals for late-night arrivals.
Within Manila and the wider Metro Manila area, getting around is best done via the MRT Line 3 along EDSA and the LRT Line 1 and LRT Line 2 light rail lines, which connect key districts from Pasay in the south to Recto and Santolan in the north and east. Stored-value Beep Cards work across all three rail lines and offer the most convenient option for visitors making multiple journeys. Metered taxis are widely available and journeys within the city centre typically cost between 100 and 300 Philippine pesos. Ride-hailing apps operate throughout Metro Manila and are a practical alternative, particularly during heavy traffic or late at night.
Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Manila
- Book six to eight weeks ahead for stays around the Sinulog Festival in January or the Panagbenga Festival in February, when Manila hotels fill quickly.
- Staying in Santa Ana or Cubao offers noticeably lower nightly rates than Makati or the Intramuros area, with good rail access via LRT and MRT.
- Hotels that include breakfast are worth prioritising in Manila, where a quality morning meal at a local café or restaurant can add up quickly.
- Choose free cancellation rates where possible, as Manila hotel demand can shift sharply around public holidays and typhoon-season weather changes.
- Weekday stays from Tuesday to Thursday tend to be cheaper than weekends in Manila, particularly at leisure-focused hotels in the tourist districts.
- Joining loyalty programmes at larger hotel groups can unlock member rates and room upgrades, offering genuine savings across a longer Manila stay.
When to Visit Manila for Lower Prices
Winter (High Season)
December to February is Manila's most popular time to visit, with dry, cooler weather drawing the largest crowds and pushing hotel prices to their peak. Christmas festivities and the festive atmosphere make this the city's most sought-after period.
Spring (Value Season)
March and April bring warm, mostly dry conditions before the rains arrive, with slightly lower demand than the peak winter months. A good window for comfortable sightseeing without the highest prices, though heat can be intense by late April.
Summer (Low Season)
May to October covers the wet season, with typhoons possible from June onwards and the quietest hotel demand of the year. Mid-range hotels can be found from around £35 to £65 per night, making this the best value period for budget-conscious visitors.
Autumn (Value Season)
November sees rainfall easing and visitor numbers beginning to rise ahead of the festive peak. Prices remain moderate, the heat is more bearable than mid-year, and the city offers a pleasant balance of good weather and reasonable rates.
Popular Areas to Stay in Manila
Intramuros
Manila's historic walled city, home to Fort Santiago and Manila Cathedral. Centrally placed for sightseeing, with a compact, walkable layout and a strong sense of the city's Spanish colonial past.

A lively, creative quarter close to Manila Bay, known for its bohemian street life, independent restaurants, and the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Good mid-range value with a distinctly local character.
