2-Star Hotels in Metro Manila, Philippines

I stayed quite a lot of days at room 412 waiting for my travel VISA ac was standard clanky but good enough for my sleep, hot shower is perfect，towels clean, bring your toileties, would be nice if tv signal is good, pillowcsse needs new ones, it was all Clean though, however if you had some noisy guests midnight with their doors, it would not like it. 8/10

I stayed at Hotel Sogo for 5 nights and 4 days during my convention at SMX. Overall, my stay was comfortable and convenient. The hotel is near SMX, which made it easy for me to travel to and from the convention. The room was clean and organized. The bed was comfortable, and the air conditioner worked well. The staff were polite and helpful whenever I had questions or requests. Check-in and check-out were smooth and fast. The place felt safe and quiet, which helped me rest after long convention days. The food was okay and affordable. The hotel is also near malls and restaurants, which was very convenient. Overall, Hotel Sogo is a good choice if you are attending an event at SMX and want an affordable and accessible place to stay. I would recommend it for short or work-related stays.

Facilities: Well-equipped. Cleanliness: Spotless. Ambiance: Elegant. Service: Excellent. The location is very easy to find, right on the street, next to a BDO bank, and there are many dining options nearby, which is super convenient. There are large common areas on both the 5th and 2nd floors, and the internet connection is also very good. All the staff are very friendly.

This was one of the best hotel I stayed at in Manila. I had some hesitations about the shared toilet and bathroom, but they were quite clean by Philippine standards. The hotel even has a pool, so you can sit by the pool in the evening and meet other guests. However, our room didn't have a window and was a bit damp. The only downside of the hotel is that the surroundings aren't very safe. You need to be cautious around the hotel if you're a foreigner. Mall of Asia is only 10-minutes by Jeepney. The hotel is also close to the airport for those leaving the city.

The room we booked was too tiny. Din expect the room can accommodate 2 person, as described. There is literally not enough space on the bed itself. What should be a queen size bed is only a super single plus bed size. We had to curls our legs while sleeping. We requested for drinking water but the receptionist said we only entitled to 2 drinking water once. We stayed for 2 nights there. That was quite a small favour to ask normally every other accommodation would provide that. Another significant downside is the noise! It’s really noisy even 3 in the morning because of the location and room that we were given is facing the main road and pedestrians bridge. Last but maybe the most regret we had to face is the room is blazing hot. At noon the room was directly facing the burning sun light not even the blinder could cover it. I have proof in the photos where our room was filled with sun during mid day. If I can find something good about our stay maybe the elevator and WiFi that actually works. Good job on that. Aside from that, Definitely won’t be coming back here again.

Our second time to stay here and no doubt, the staffs are very approachable and easy to transact with them. Regarding the room, the previous one is better than now but nonetheless, both clean and has free wifi. Recommended!

The hotel is located in a local area where residents gather, and unlike a tourist spot, you can walk around without being bothered by touts, which feels very safe. There are many local Filipino restaurants nearby, making it an excellent choice for travelers looking to experience authentic local food. Perhaps because I was on the top floor, the shower pressure was terrible, more like a drizzle, which was frustrating. I had to use the hand shower in the adjoining toilet to rinse off soap. There's no elevator, so you have to use the stairs, but if you have heavy luggage, the front desk staff will help carry it for you. As others have mentioned, be aware that you'll be charged a significant fee if you use the electric kettle, mugs, forks, or spoons provided in the room (so just don't use them if you want to avoid the charge). The best part, though, is having a private room at this price.

I stayed here for almost two weeks. Unfortunately, the housekeeping service was disappointing. They only changed the blanket and pillowcases but did not clean the room. I also heard them knocking and cleaning the neighboring rooms, but when I asked for my room to be cleaned, I was ignored. I hope the management can improve their service so guests receive proper attention.

The staff were accomodating. Pet friendly. Only that the tv cant be use because of signal as the staff says when we call for assistance.
