Cheap place to stay during medical and interview in Manila

[Matt&Kristine 0]

I had my fiance stay at Townhouse. It's more like a hostel than a hotel, but very reasonably priced! For a room with a shower (cold, though) it's about $13. The phone no. is 02 854 5399.

Try the Best Western Hotel La Corona, Ermita. It's near St. Luke Medical Center and US Embassy. It's just a small hotel but I found it safe and clean hotel with great services and nice amenities. Their rate is quite reasonable and they serve complimentary buffet breakfast. It is also near (few blocks away) the shopping mall, Robinson.

Here is the Best Western, I agree its not a bad place

I've stayed in Best Western Hotel La Corona on the night before my husband left back to the US. Their room was nice but the building seems old and "scary" looks like a haunted place bwehehe...i know i'm just weird. I had a bad experience inside their old looking elevator co'z i was stuck inside for like 10 minutes coz it wont open. So when i went back to my room i decided to take the stairs and the hall way looks scary coz the light will turn on and off when u walked in bwehehe...looks like the things you've seen in horror movies. Maybe i'm just too gay. bwehehe

Anyway, thanks again for all the info. I was thinking about staying in Cherry Blossoms hotel coz that's what my sis was telling me too. I'm just wondering how far is it from the embassy?

My fiancee stayed at the Swagman Hotel when she traveled from Mindanao for her medical and for her interview. Very close to both ST Lukes and the Embassy. Clean good food, safe, provides free airport pick up and drop off. Great breakfast buffet. Web site is www.swaggy.com Resturant/Bar is open 24 hours and has 24 hour room service. In room mini bars, hot showers, maid service daily.

Internet cafe and travel agency on 2nd floor, onsite Western Union Money Transfer.

My fiancee and I stayed there when I traveled over to bring her back to the USA after she received her visa. I have stayed there numerouis times and for the price and amenities I feel can not be beat. Only thing that was a disturbance is the people outside the front pester you to buy their things they are selling. I just ignore them.

Good luck to you!

I would recommend City State Tower Hotel its so nice there and safe and cheap.Stayed there few times when hubby visited us,during my daughter's CRBA appointment at USEM and my medical and interview.

Close to Robinson's Place and restaurants and Manila Bay.

Its very close to St.Luke's and USEM and its a sis-com of Cherry Blossom..we stayed at Cherry Blossom too before.

Also,StoneHouse are nice and cheap 5 blocks from City State.

whenever my dad comes home from another country and we pick him up at manila for a short family vacation; We usually stay at City State Tower Hotel, it's a nice place, they're fairly cheap too about Php1,500/night for a single room and about 1,900 i think for the doubles;

if u want you can call em up to verify coz last time i stayed there was '07 my parents stayed there last dember 08

City State Tower Hotel

1315 A. Mabini St. Ermita, Manila

tel. no. 400-7351 to 61

. there's chowking on the next block, robinson's mall is about 5 minutes by foot; i think theyhave a free shuttle for teh airport too; you can call em up and find out but yes, it's nice. It's actually where a lot of balikbayans stay at
