Manila Hotels

Thanks G, I got that part, but you missed the vital part of my question.

". where there is no-hassle coming and going. " (ie; come and go as I please with no questions).

Just go to the map screen on Air BnB and scroll over to the area you're interested in. Wait 30 secs for a refresh and all the local options will be there.

Handy as it shows proximity to any malls, eateries etc that you might want to be near.

I use this more than text based location searches.

I was there like 2 y ago, looks like new and at that time they vad nice promos, don't remember more than it was Nice price, no problem with "visitors".

And the best is that its almost on Burgos st. Maximum like 100 m.

But like I say, that's 2 years ago!

Thanks a lot at Pat69. I think it's just been build 2 years ago.

I will try it in April / May and will report here. Which room category you had? Rooms were big enough?

I tried the search engine, but either I don't know how it works or it sucks.

Can anyone direct me to an Airbnb in the Tondo / Binondo / Chinatown area where there is no-hassle coming and going with decent wifi?

Anyone with experience of hotel Victoria or hotel Sogo in Malate?

Is that only ST hotel??

Is it aloud to go there without a car at all?

I used Victoria once in the middle of the 90's, but that time I sneaked in there in a cab with a temporally friend, had to do it in secret!

Is it still the same?

Does anyone know the Ritz Asor Hotel in the Makati area near Burgo St. Is guest friendly or not?

Hotel looks very new and quite nice.

Thanks!

Found a place at the end of P. Burgos street in Makati, price is reasonable for what is offered. Room is nice and tidy, staff have no uniforms but for 1185 a night I don't mind. I think it was called San Agustin Residences or something. No signage, WiFi is decent I usually bring a few of my regulars there most of the people I saw there were locals who had work nearby.

I've stayed at the Berjaya a few times which was ok for a couple of days. The upside is that most of the rooms are facing a quiet side street. The downside is that the rooms are not very well kept (eg. sticky furniture). The Berjaya has a breakfast buffet so I guess they offer a breakfast option for two as well.

I've stayed near Greenbelt too a few times (but not at the hotels you mention) and that was much better than staying near Burgos. Better and more food options and a nicer environment overall.

What got my attention with the Prince Plaza II was the huge one room suite with a couch and a hot plate cooking area. That's the type of room I prefer, can't stand those apartment hotels where the rooms are subdivided making the space seem that much smaller. Going solo I don't need two rooms, prefer one large living space preferably with a couch. I did check out the hotel on tripadvisor and have to say the guest photo's are an eye opener, I can see why people are saying the hotel is 'dated'.

Narrowed down my hotels to three medium priced hotels, all have pools but only the hotel by the greenview mall offers a breakfast option for two for a few bucks more. The hotels are the Berjaya hotel, the 1898 Hotel Colonia and the Prince Plaza II Condotel. I like having a couch in the room which the Prince Plaza has. I'd guess being close to the mall would allow me to find freelancers as well as meet any internet girls before taking them back to the hotel. So what's the better option: being close to Burgos or close enough for a quick taxi ride? But I'm also looking for a hassle free hotel where I can easily bring back multiple girls without an issue.

P.S. I hate auto correct changing tower letters to words.

Then please click on 'Edit Post' after you have uploaded your post and correct the auto correct. It will not auto correct twice.

I have nothing good to say about Berjaya. Reception was a bit rude. And they wanted to charge me extra for an early check in. When checking out they demanded to see the receipt for the deposit.

In my experience AirBnb often offers better value for money than hotels, especially for stays longer than a couple of nights when cleaning fee is spread across the nights. I was looking for a place in Makati for the upcoming trip in March, was wondering if anyone has any specific tips at least about the condo complexes to look at?

Also, what is the story for bringing visitors? Some listings flat out say this is not allowed, some even say its not allowed by condo rules. Some are silent on this issue. In the past, I've had mixed experiences in other countries where some places completely refused to allow a girl in, some were somewhat hesitant, some didn't have any issue with it. What is the norm in Manila and again does anyone have tips for proven girl-friendly condos?

Thanks so much everyone!!

I stayed at Jazz Residence a few times. Most places I got were Airbnb but also took a 6 month lease there.

Even though some places say no visitors it is up to the guards to enforce. I stayed in Towers A,'be' and 'see' the and in all of them never had an issue with visitors, sometimes 3 or 4 at a time. Never saw an ad for tower see so cannot comment on it.

If they come alone or obviously look like working girls they will be asked to sign in and leave ID. No call to your room for verification coming or going. They doneed yop know your name an.

Just about any time I was with a girl or more who looked like a regular girl, especially in in afternoon no issue. Once a girl became a regular visitor, she would be able to just walk in.

Jazz is about 600 m from Burgos street and a 10 minute walk to Greenbelt. Facilities include nice pool and gym. Usage is supposed to be only for residents or a 150 p cost (300 on weekends and holidays) but when I was Airbnb I just walked in, signed the register like I belonged and if asked said I just moved in and did not have my tenet ID yet (tales a few weeks to get.). Never refused access to the pool, sometimes with guests and did not have to pay.

You do not want a south view in tower 'be" or to be in tower A due to traffic noise. Worst was a low room in tower "the" the the north side, just above the air conditioners and near to traffic with adjacent building blocking view. Best room I had was high pool view from tower 'A'. It is far enough away from the other towers that nighttime balcony sex was possible, good view and quiet. North view Tower 'D' cannot be seen from the street if high enough so daytime balcony sex is achievable. (Best time was daytime balcony 3 some. LOL).

P.S. I hate auto correct changing tower letters to words.
