Do you want the best value hotel in Manila?
I believe the Executive Plaza Hotel on Mabini in Ermita is the best value.
It is the best value if you book it in the right way.
Do not just walk in and expect them to quote you the best price because the walk in price is high.
If you want to pay the lowest price for a hotel in Manila you have to book it through a travel agent who has a special arrangement with the hotel.
It seems people are always telling you about the fantastic deal they got on accommodation from here there and everywhere. I have been traveling to the Philippines for many years and have stayed in a few different hotels.
Even though The Philippines is a relatively cheap country, when you are staying in the capital, things can get expensive.
Hotel accommodation is no exception.
Add to this the fact that hotel management likes to charge different prices for different classes of tourists and you find choosing a good hotel for the right price becomes a difficult task.
I remember a few years ago when I was traveling with a friend who refused to book in advance, trekking through the streets of Malate and Ermita.
We were trying to find a good deal on a few nights stay in Manila.
Not wishing to appear a wimp, I followed my friend as he inquired about the nightly rate of various hotels.
It was a tricky affair. We would see a banner outside a hotel advertising a particular promo rate only to find from the manager that there were no more rooms left at that rate, or that the rate only applied to Filipinos not foreigners.
Now that I know my way around Manila, I prefer to have my bookings arranged in advance. Over the years I have changed my preferred hotel several times, and I believe now I have got the best deal on value from using a particular method of booking.
It was about a year ago a fellow traveler put me on to this travel agent who got me a great deal on The Executive Plaza in Manila.
It works like this. You don’t have to actually go to their office. All you do is email them and once the booking is confirmed they send you a confirmation number to take to the hotel. You pay directly to the hotel.
At the time of writing this, I am paying 1850 pesos per night.
The Executive Plaza Hotel would be about a three star.
Here is the web site of the agency I book through, which is called Action Travel.

They also have good deals on other hotels in Manila.
