Miramar Hotel

This property has a great location (walking distance to Ocean Park 10 minutes), it's a 2 to 3 star hotel built in the 1930th, old but in general well kept, would definitely need an overhaul inside, however, its surprisingly clean (even old), the bathroom in my room was spotless (room 506) on the 5th floor looking out into the side city part, one can see a glimpse of the bay and main road, the staff is friendly and welcoming, Has a bistro attached, the food is ok, don't expect too much but it's ok As the title of my review already said, it's ok value for money spent considering its Manila and next to Rizal park

We stayed here because a friends apartment was too overcrowded for us. At first glance it seemed okay. A little old, a little tatty but not bad...We stayed two nights. First problem? The price, apparently we got a 50% discount and it was still about $80 per night. That is too high. The rooms are tidy but old. The aircon vents directly so it's very noisy (it was hot so it was necessary to have it on and the street was noisy too so we couldn't open the window). There was a strange smell about the place - like damp or mold - it's not strong but ever present.. The staff were helpful but the place had a abandoned feel to it.. We didn't take advantage of the free breakfast so can't comment. Would I stay here again? Only if it was about $50 a night... Oh, and the Wifi was really unreliable and timed out after a set period (it was free though)...

The place was a rustic older building that was clean and had well utilized floor space for the size of the room we had. In regards to the furnishing of the room that is. Everything in the room worked well from the A/C to the refrigerator, TV and etc. The room service was reliable and the service of the hotel staff was very good. But both of us were very unsatisfied with the food we ordered from in-house restaurant. Would recommend if you stayed there that you eat out.

A have stayed in this hotel several times and also other hotels nearby over my 20 years of coming to Manila. A few helpful pointers for you: 1. Staff, on the whole pretty good . 2. Restaurant is fine. 3. When showering, you WILL get hot water....it may take minutes, but it will come. 4. avoid rooms at either end of the building. At one end U have the noise of Roxas Blvde, at the other U have the noise of late-night karaoke. 5. Wi-fi is poor. This is why I will not come back. I was there for 4 nights in August, then 3 nights in August. The wifi was never good enough. I tried 1 laptop, 2 phones and many locations around the hotel. At most times, the wifi was not working.. 6. the room guide will mention the "Business Centre" where U can get printing done. Not so. I went to Front Desk during business hours as I needed to print a plane flight confirmation and I was told to walk 2 blocks to an internet cafe on M H Del Pilar in the rain for this service. Folks, I know that this place is not 5 star but you would expect functioning wifi and perhaps access to a printer during business hours. I won't return which is a pity as the building is quite lovely and location is fine

The building itself is a beautiful survivor of WWII. It has a very distinct Art Deco look to it but it feels a bit old inside and not in a great way. The hotel rooms need a redesign to play up the art deco. It seems that it was someone's notion of art deco in the early 90's when it was last spruced up. The air conditioning is a major point where they can begin renovations. It can be centralized to avoid the non working, ugly wall units that ruin the feel of the place. The bathrooms are ok, quite large but needs serious updating. The toiletries need to be vastly improved. Air conditioning is super important to maintain comfort in the sweltering Manila heat. Wifi also needs improvement. Paint, wall paper, all of these are cosmetic changes to maintain the art deco feel of the hotel.Hire a great designer and not the person that did the Luneta hotel because that is also really bad.

I stayed here in 2014 and I was expecting their service will be better but I was wrong. I stayed here on June 21-23 this year and I was a bit disappointed. The wifi is extremely unstable and slow. I left my phone charger and when I return to get it, they no longer have it. I was sure I left it there but they said all the things left by guests are given to lost and found management but they don't have my charger. I know it was cheap however, what if it was of bigger value, will they return it?

Firstly booked direct with hotel for a 3 night stay, took about 10 emails back and forth to get booking arranged and even then dates kept getting mixed up their end. Anyway arrived and had to wait for room to be ready, thankfully a Starbucks is across the road. Anyway sadly made the mistake of booking to include breakfast and after visiting on the first morning and there was nothing healthy on the menu and they were not flexible with what we could order we walked out and went to Starbucks for some oat meal. Receptionist then started to get the hump and wanted to know what was wrong, as we wanted the future breakfasts cancelled and she just wouldn't help. Anyway we went out and left the key for room cleaning only to come back 6 hrs later to find out door open and no one inside. So how long has the door been left open for anyone to walk in and steal our things? The manager was called after this instance and then told about breakfast but still no refund (money grabbers). The final straw was the scream from my wife when a mouse was seen running around the room. Also why do they insist on giving you a room near the road when they have lots to choose from? Tired, dated old hotel with a miserable receptionist. I can not recommend this hotel and can see why it had few guest as no one wants to stay.

This hotel has excellent service. The rooms are quite comfortable and spacious. The business lounge food was good and offered a good variety. I was greeted each time I entered the hotel - regardless of time - so I felt welcome.

Booked here because its near where i'm going. As we enter, front desk clerks did not even look at us. The guy who showed us the room is much more helpful than those who are in front desk and i give only him 5 stars . I booked through agoda so theres a small problem...the front desk did not even checked if i have another reservation which led us waiting 30 minutes before we get a room.It was the guy who showed us the room that helped us get the right room which led to 10 mins waiting. The room seems clean and its not huge as what other reviewers say. Lightning is very poor. AC is very soundly. No iron at all. Wi-fi is very slow. The FO staff kept my ID which is supposed to be returned after they see my ID. I totally forgot about it and when i called front desk they asked me if i needed it when they should have returned it right away and then i became worried and i called again and ask to deliver it and they deliver it after 30 mins or an hour. The next day front desk staff and security helped us get a cab so thank you for that.
