Armada Hotel Manila Philippines

We enjoyed our stay. Staff are courteous, room was spaceous and clean, wifi was working, and hair dryer was there. Don't just expect their refreshments to be 'fresh' especially the complimentary coffee, creamer, and sugar. Overall, good. Though the gym was dark!

Hotel situated 15 minutes from the only beach in Manila, (nothing interesting on the beach, can't even bring bottle of water on, stopped by security) Hotel staff is friendly and nice, BUT..... Welcome you with 2000pessos bill as a deposit. What for? See the picture. Cockroaches and a mouse in the room, new towels have stain on already when changed as well as bed sheet and a duvet. Recommend to keep taking a pictures of every stain and damage in the room, towels, bed sheets otherwise you'll be charged for it. Restaurant is good twice a week specific chef is in the charge, otherwise near by 24/7 aristocrat restaurant. Swimming pool is nice, sunshine limited by 3 higher buildings near by, so lucky you if you got some. Over all, hotel is one of a few cheap options to stay in the centre, no overnight visitors (note for sex tourists), close to the beach, marina, Sunday market but......lots of begging people around area.

My family and I enjoyed our stay in this hotel. It was small from outside but big enough space for the rooms. The receptionist & all the people working were all good. Very helpful & caring. The best was the breakfast buffet. They served different dishes varieties every day. That's why I'm giving all 5 stars ratings, but that was 10 years ago. I happened to see the reviews this time & I felt sad because we wanted to come back, but having second thoughts now.

The room is clean. It looks good but you can def notice that the hotel is quite old. Overall, it’s a good hotel. Good location too. Staffs are kind and accommodating. Stayed here for work.

I rarely rate hotels, but I feel compelled to share my disappointing experience at what was supposed to be a 4-star hotel. From the start, things went downhill with a broken phone line in our room that was never fixed despite multiple requests. It quickly turned into a hassle as I had to run back and forth between rooms just to communicate simple requests. To add to our frustration, our room wasn't cleaned on the second day of our stay. After an hour of waiting for housekeeping, I followed up only to find they'd forgotten about us entirely. Even after going down to the front desk at night for basic services like trash collection and towel replacement, we were left with an unkempt space; they didn’t even sweep the floor! This experience turned what should have been a joyful Christmas celebration into an absolute nightmare—truly unacceptable service that didn’t match even half of what was promised.
