Miramar Hotel Manila

Very nice hotel in good location. Helpful staff. Old wooden architecture is beautiful. WiFi signal was poor in my room, so it 's worth checking the signal if you plan to use it.

You have to give a 1k security deposit upon check-in but you’ll get it back upon check-out. The hotel is a walking distance to Luneta Park but the surroundings do not feel safe as there are a lot of homeless people sleeping around the area, even beside the parking outside the hotel. The room was gloomy and somehow creepy. The paint in the room was yellow so you’d feel a little bit uncomfortable because the lights are dim as well. I booked this hotel because me and my partner just wanted to relax and chill over the weekend. The furnitures in the room were old. The 32-inch tv was placed inside a big cabinet which was really creepy as they could just have placed it in a table instead. The tv/ref cabinet seemed to look like an egyptian coffin because of its design which was placed at the foot of the bed. The elevator was outdated and it took us like 30 seconds to get to the 4th floor. The bathroom was really huge. The shower poured water like a faucet. It really gave us the creeps as when you step out of the bathroom there’s this huge cabinet that can fit up to 4-5 people with a large mirror. We had chills instead of being able to chill so we ended up checking out at 11pm as we are unable to sleep peacefully and just decided to stay at my place. This hotel is good for tourists but it won’t really give you your money’s worth. There are lots of newly built hotels in the area that’s within this hotels price range that you may want to consider.

We stayed at the hotel for my sister's graduation the following day. The room was spacious. However, the air conditioner was not cool enough to ventilate the entire area. The lights were only yellow light, hence, it was difficult to see the natural color of the skin when applying make up. Aside from that, the place was good and it was near the hotel where my sister's graduation took place. The bistro inside it prepares good but a little pricey food.
