Hotels near Golden Mosque, Manila

I would love to be able to rate this hotel 9.5 out of 10, because of its beauty, and because of the great staff. However the room I rented had the following issues. 1. The room normally stayed around 26°C (78.8°F) to 27°C (80.6°F) with the AC running on the highest setting. 2. The shower had a drain issue, and water overflowed throughout half the bathroom floor. 3. The TV had about 5 channels in English, and the picture was horrible. Very fuzzy with intermittent audio. 4. The WiFi was mediocre, and would occasionally disconnect from the internet. 5. The view through the window was just other roof tops. 6. It's a little far from the airport. It is a very beautiful hotel, with an outstanding looking lobby, and a great ground floor restaurant. The staff is outstanding. When I first entered the hotel and the room, my first thought was that I was never leaving this hotel. That is until I ran into the room AC issue. I could not stay there more than 2 nights with such a hot room.

Pros: This hotel is close to a market and a small mall. If you want to experience the natural ambiance of Manila, you can stay here. The staff is friendly and check-in is fast. There's a 1,000 peso deposit. The rooms are spacious and clean. The air conditioning is cool. Security is guaranteed. Con: The hotel is old and far from the city center and the airport. The breakfast was terrible, not much choice, just plain rice, boxed meat, and orange juice. There were also waffles. Luckily, there were waffles so I could still have breakfast.

Stayed here 9 nights in a Deluxe Twin Room on the 14th floor and overall it was very good value for money (paid about 2131 AED for the stay). 👍 Highlights Staff – Easily the best part of this hotel. Everyone was extremely polite, friendly and genuinely helpful throughout the stay. That level of hospitality really stood out and made a big difference. Cleanliness – The room was kept clean every day and housekeeping did a very good job maintaining it. Breakfast buffet – Surprisingly good variety. They had fresh omelettes made to order, pancakes, waffles, sausages, bacon, cereals and other options. The flavors leaned more toward Western breakfast styles so it didn’t fully match my Indian palate, but it was still a solid breakfast with plenty to choose from. The Mongolian rice was actually excellent. Location for convenience – The hotel is right in the Binondo / Chinatown area, with plenty of restaurants around. There’s also a Starbucks and a nice café just steps from the hotel, plus an Anytime Fitness nearby. For my work it was very convenient. ⚠️ Things That Could Improve Check-in process – I arrived around 10am hoping for early check-in, but still had to wait until the standard 3pm check-in time, which was a bit frustrating after a long trip. Facilities feel dated – Some things like the hair dryer, TV and especially the gym equipment feel quite old and could definitely use an upgrade. AC issues – The air-conditioning was slightly unpredictable at night. Not a big issue but you could wake up at 4 AM sweating🫢 Room service food – Not great. I ordered a chocolate lava cake that looked nice with two scoops of ice cream but the cake itself was quite bitter. Minibar – Completely empty, which was surprising especially since the hotel takes a 10,000 peso deposit at check-in. 📍 Area There are lots of food options nearby and the location is convenient, but the area can feel a bit rough late at night, so I preferred staying indoors after dark. Final Thoughts Overall I’d say about 3.5 stars but rounding up to 4, mainly because the staff were genuinely excellent and the stay was good value for money. Would I stay here again? Yes — for the value and the staff. I’d just probably skip room service next time.

The location is very very good, The staff are so much accommodating.Its my 1st time there and no doubt to book again soon, with more nights stay I guess. maraming Salamat sa magnadang service. The only kapanghinayang is Yun wifi connection sa 208, haha. Sana maimprove nyo please! I need to go outside the room near hagdan para nakapagsend lang, hehe Aside from that, all goods nko. thanks.

We stayed at this hotel for my son’s JS Prom, and it was a pleasant surprise to see that both the facilities and rooms are still well-maintained despite the property being older. However, the breakfast buffet could use improvement, as the quality of the food didn’t quite meet expectations.

Located in a very convenient community, with a 7-Eleven right downstairs, which is great for quick snacks or drinks. You can easily call a Grab or a car service directly to the hotel. It's close to all the major tourist attractions. If you enjoy walking, you can explore everything on foot, including all the important historical sites in the Philippines. I really liked it here! The accommodation was quiet and peaceful, and I felt the price was good for the value. It was clean and comfortable, just what I'd expect from a hotel. What I liked most is that once you get your bearings, you realize it's close to all the main attractions. It's also not too far from the train station; you can take the train almost to the last stop and then walk about 1.5 kilometers to reach the airport.

I checked in on January 12-13. Checking in was smooth and the room was clean. They provided soap and 2 bottled water but no toothbrush and shampoo. The bed was a bit hard and the pillows were small however the AC was made up for it. What I like about the view by the elevator is the church of Nazarene, it was like the view from the back of the Vatican. The shower was hot and the water pressure was just perfect, however sometimes the shower drains were slow. They should have put another bath mat just outside the bathroom entrance, the one they placed was not that absorbent. The TV was great because they had smart tv but sometimes the internet was slow and disconnected sometimes. I noticed that the building shakes sometimes like there is after shock, at first I thought it was and read one review also mentioned that, they said it's because of the vehicles passing by outside. The menu they have inside is a bit pricey but no problem for me because outside there is a lot of resto you can find. Locking the main door was annoying sometimes because they were using the hard key and had to leave the key in the reception every time I left. Also, the bedsheets and linen were clean but just a few stains. Overall, it was a good stay for its price.

The location was excellent, it is a 2-minute walk to Robinsons Manila which have lots of establishment and restaurants nearby.

Cheap, great location near the park. This huge room has 60 beds, good for people who don't mind sharing. There are no curtains, so it's really just for sleeping. Besides the beds, there's only a bathroom, no other space. The downside is there's no hot water, only cold.

I enjoyed staying at Venice Star Grand hotel. Overall I was satisfied. The location is just perfect in Chinatown near. The service was great, the restaurant just a door away at ground floor serves good budget food.
