This is worst place to stay in Malate Manila, price is high at 1700 Peso which to my opinion is worth the most 600 pesos. Reception area is superb as this is the deceiving part, you must ask to view the room before you even want to book. A/Cond is falling apart and noisy and the room is very dim,... More

Not the flashiest place, but the character of the building is great, smell the oil as they oil the wooden areas, very basic, had a deluxe room, own bathroom, staff friendly, street outside busy, but you do not hear the noise, only 10 mins, walk to Robinsons Mall, lots of eating places around you.

I'm surprised this has so many good reviews, I guess those are from a long time ago before there was better alternatives. We paid the same amount here as we could have paid to stay in the Tune Hotel around the corner, which is br. Ahhh Philippine wifi! Having just written a million reasons not to stay here the wifi...

Just had a very bad experience with this hotel. Noisy rooms, cockroaches all over, dysfunctional shower, dysfunctional internet and worst of all - dysfunctional personnel, that steals, lies and covers up for each other. Stayed there before leaving for a week to Boracay and forgot my jacket in the room. I called the hotel the day after and was told... More

We arrived here at 4am having booked for the following night. The older woman on the reception desk was probably the most unfriendly person you could ever wish to meet! We were shown to our room (no 313 - old and tired) but charged at half-rate for an early check-in - perfectly reasonable. We were straight to bed and asleep... More

After our last 2 experiences in Manila this place was a breath of fresh air. If you are backpacking and are on a budet please stay here and not at the other places. This place is clean, has friendly staff, the room was bright and its a million times better than the place up the road! Put simply, please stay... More

Upon arrival to the pensionne we were greeted by a security guard with a big smile. What a great welcome to the Philippines! I had stayed there back in the early 1990's and am just as happy with this stay as I was back then! They are in the process of making renovations to the place and I must say... More

The energy when you enter the Pensionne is radiant and warm. A sense of comfort comes over you in moments. The staff is charming, kind and accommodating. The room was spacious with a bright, refreshing pallet of colors and very clean. The courtesy staff was excellent and kept the room tidy each and every day. Malate Pensionne is in the... More

It's a pension house and mostly for backpackers, but the service and staff were really nice, they were doing some refurbishment on some part of the place, but it was not a big deal , the time we went there was a sunday so no work for refurbishments. The room was nice and not congested, clean and tidy.outside the Pensionne... More
