Posts: 4567This is a good report from a relatively low profile member. Thanks! Thanks for including a phone number. I might not agree that it's "hard to beat location", but I might just take a look next time I'm slumming around in Ermita. X.

Posts: 89The "MBC Hotel"
I was walking past MBC the other day and noticed a new hotel right next door to the MBC on Del Pilar. And when I say right next door, I really mean right next door. The name is the Brickstone Hotel.
They had a big placard on the street with pictures of the rooms. It caught my attention so I asked to see a room. The rooms are actually suites and quite nice for 1600 PHP a night. Each suite had two Air Conditioning units. The desk clerk told me the hotel was new, and that they did not have a website up yet.
I can't recommend it for a week long stay since I have not stayed there yet, but it may be a great option for an overnighter on their way to other PH destinations, or for the Makati based fellow who would like a better option than Sogo for your Ermita visit.
Its hard to beat for location (the entrance to the hotel is about 90 feet from the entrance to MBC). At 1600 PHP a night, it is definitely worth checking out for a night. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it until the last day of my recent stay in the Phils.

I might pop in and have a look around when I am next in MOA and report on what I see.

Posts: 267Tune Hotel in Ermita
It may be a dumb question but is the Tune in Ermita Girl Friendly?
Does anyone have any experience staying here?
IF so, could you give me a few Tidbits on the place.
Thanks

beggar boys can't walk so fast (you ever see a filipino walk fast. saunter is about their max speed0 so they soon lose interest when you see you are in your serious striding mode. but won't stop them trying to get a handout or a "hand-in" as you zoom by.

Posts: 4567Microtel in Pasay
One of the hotels on Hotman's list is Microtel.
http://www.microtelbywyndham-manila....FUhJpgodv3QAQw
Has anyone stayed there? It looks as if it is right next to Mall of Asia. Can you walk over or is there some kind of wall forcing a walk around. The web site shows a pitafully small rooftop pool.
I can also see the Metrostar ferry from which you can take a bay cruise or go to Cavite.
This looks really interesting. X

All that said, I would consider staying there again if I saw a good deal on Agoda, but I wouldn't pay full price. Right now I see deluxe rooms for about $85 USD breakfast included. I've seen better deals, but this is certainly in your price range, and if someone else is footing the bill then who cares anyway.
One last thing. Getting from the Heritage to EDSA can be a pain, even though it is across the street. If I remember right there is a barrier in the middle of the street so you can't just dodge traffic and run across. There is a pedestrian bridge not too far away, but it is really sketchy. I walked it once and was hit up for change about every 10 feet. The girl I brought back later refused to cross that way claiming it wasn't safe, that we were likely to be assaulted, and insisted we take a cab instead. Just an FYI.

Posts: 258Thanks.
Thanks Hudsori,
I appreciate your help.
This will be a 5 day business trip and I will only have the evenings free so no chance to get to Angeles. I do like freelancers but also enjoy bar girls some evenings.
I have a couple of 'Freebees' lined up but location is not a problem for them (they are both able to travel!)
It looks as if, from the three hotels that my business partners suggest as being in a convenient location to THEM that my best choice may be The Heritage Hotel, unless anyone has a better suggestion!
Hotel costs are not a major problem. Something around US$150 / day would be just fine.
Hotman.

Anyway, of the three hotels you listed The Heritage is across the street from the EDSA Entertainment Complex, a spot of several go-go type bars where the girls are barfined. The Microtel is too far removed from anything but mall wandering and the sunset. The Midas (on Roxas Blvd) is roughly halfway between EDSA and Ermita, where there are freelancers at MBC, Amazonia, and G Point bars and Robinson's Mall.
If you're here for a 3-5 day all-play stay, I. E. No business meetings, you may want to consider Angeles.

Posts: 258Philippines VIRGIN!
Hi Guys,
I am making my FIRST trip to Philippines shortly (Manila.)
My local business contact has suggested one of the following hotels.
The Heritage Hotel Manila
MIDAS Hotel Manila.
Microtel Mall of Asia.
The Heritage looks good but I thought that I should check that the location is OK with the local ISG experts.
I would appreciate your advice.
Hotman (a Philippines VIRGIN!)

There is a Eurotel a hundred meters further north too and much further to walk.
All the other Sogos and Eurotels are a 30 min taxi ride away in Cubao, or the short term hotels in San Juan.
