Try inquiring sa Hostel 1632:http://www.hostel1632.com/

when and if you call, tell them you don't want free breakfast, you just want a room to stay in. robinsons is just a block away so madami ka makakainan.. me and my kids just bought prepackaged, meals at 7eleven when we stayed there for our medical last may.

there is also eurotel, which is directly infront of robinson pedro gil entrance. you might want to check it out also.

Good luck and God bless.

I ended up staying at Jade Vine Executive Inn. Lowest room rate is 1,350 and in very good location. Across the hotel is where St Lukes is. At the same line where the hotel is located is the way to the Embassy.
