Hotels in Manila — Book & Earn Cashback

Makati for most visits — the broadest hotel choice, the restaurants and bars, and streets that are pleasant to walk. BGC is newer, greener and easier on foot but further from the historic sights. Ermita and Malate put you next to Intramuros and Rizal Park at lower prices, and Pasay makes sense if you have an early flight.

Two is enough for Intramuros, Rizal Park and the museums, plus an evening in Makati or BGC. Most travellers treat it as an entry and exit point for the islands rather than a stay in itself, and give it a night at each end.

December to February is the coolest and driest stretch and comfortably the best window. March to May is hot and dry, with May the severe end of it. June through November is the wet season, with typhoons possible and street flooding common enough to disrupt a short trip.

The City of Manila is the old core on the bay, containing Intramuros, Ermita and Rizal Park. Metro Manila is the surrounding conurbation of sixteen cities, which includes Makati, Bonifacio Global City, Pasay and the airport. Most hotels described as being "in Manila" are in the metro rather than the city, and given the traffic, the difference is worth checking before you book.

Good value for the standard, with international brands in Makati and BGC priced below their equivalents in Singapore or Hong Kong, and a much cheaper tier around Ermita and Malate. The list on this page is priced live for your dates, so you are seeing real figures rather than an estimate.

Yes — the rate is shown on each property before you book, exactly as it is everywhere else on DerlengFree. It is credited to your balance as LENG after your stay, and you can hold it, convert it to USDC, or cash it out. You pay for the room normally.
