Hotel H2O

📍 Manila Ocean Park, Behind the Quirino Grandstand, Rizal Park, Ermita, Manila
★★★★ 8.1 (334 reviews)

"The bonus was we arrived very early. Like 8am. She told us we can check in early but it would be 2k pesos. We declined and hung out at the lounge. She told us we can check in for free at 10am. We had a visa appt, and originally booked a cheaper hotel. We saw the reviews of the other one and decided to cancel. We saw H20 had a kiddy area with slides and splash pad, so we decided to splurge and enjoy it. We booked for 4 days. Only to find out the splash area was under construction. The pool was freezing, so my 8 month didn’t want to get in. We went to the outside one and it was smelling like a septic tank or sea lions, or something.. and could use a cleaning. we didn’t stay long. Our fish tank was nice when the fish came, in our room But it was rare. We were the last room, so maybe they didn’t come down as much.. staff was friendly and accommodating . But when I asked if we could walk in the Aquirum since the kiddy pool was not working. They said no, it’s an extra payment. Trip gave me $39 in trip coins, that we used. But the feeding of penguins were the same price or more to do then the actual ticket to get in."

"Our family had a decent stay at Kingsford Hotel Manila Bay. The room was clean and the staff were courteous. The highlight of our stay was definitely the food, which was delicious and offered a good variety. While the facilities and overall experience were satisfactory, there is still room for improvement compared to other hotels in the area. Overall, it was a comfortable stay and a good option for families."

Savoy Hotel Manila near Airport NAIA Terminal 3 MNL  ★★★★
"This hotel was a decent pick for a one-night layover. Right across the back alley, there's a Popeyes, which I personally think is even better than Jollibee. There are also plenty of other restaurants in that same back alley, or you can take a 15-minute walk to Airport Terminal 3 for more dining options. The location is definitely convenient. While the facilities are a bit dated, they're well-maintained and clean, which makes up for it."

Stone House Hotel Manila ★★
"I stayed at Stone House Manila for a one-day transit before heading back to my country, and overall it served its purpose well. The location is very convenient, especially for a short stay. It’s close to key spots like , , and Robinsons Place Manila, making it easy to grab food, do a bit of last-minute shopping, or just take a quick walk to relax before the flight. The room itself was simple and basic. It’s not luxurious, but it was clean enough for a short rest. The air-conditioning worked fine, and the bed was comfortable enough for a quick overnight stay., for a short transit stay, it’s a good budget option — convenient, affordable, and practical. I would consider staying again if I just need a quick place to rest before a flight."

Hotel H2O ★★★★
"One of the most unique hotels in the Philippines, the ocean rooms have a full aquarium wall that's connected through all the rooms of that side. Different fish pass by at different times from room to room. They have great breakfast as well with a view of Manila bay while bacon is available on request for a small fee. Sunset views are awesome and dinner menu is well structured. While most of the hotel is spotless the main corridor outside the rooms could be cleaned more regularly as everyone is passing for there to get to the rooms. There was something odd in the morning just around the end of breakfast time. We could hear the chairs from upstairs being dragged on the wooden floor loudly around 9:30 am to 10:00 am, we were woken up several times as we tried to sleep after an early breakfast. The rest of the time it was whisper quiet and serene."
