Top neighbourhoods in Manila

Intramuros

Step back in time as you wander Intramuros, Manila's 16th-century walled city packed with Spanish colonial charm. Fort Santiago's dungeons, Manila Cathedral's baroque grandeur, and San Agustin Church's stone carvings tell fascinating stories of the Philippines' past. Horse-drawn kalesas clip-clop along cobblestone streets while museums and cultural performances bring history to vibrant life. Colonial-themed restaurants serve delicious Filipino-Spanish fusion in atmospheric heritage buildings. Most attractions are within easy walking distance, though the cobblestone streets can be uneven. For a truly immersive experience, stay in one of the boutique hotels housed in restored colonial mansions.

Malate

Malate delivers Manila's nightlife magic with bars and live music spots clustered around Remedios Circle and Adriatico Street. This cultural hub boasts the historic Malate Church, Manila Zoo, and art galleries that showcase Filipino heritage. College energy from De La Salle and UP-Manila campuses mingles with the neighborhood's budget-friendly vibe. Getting around is a breeze with two LRT stations and plenty of jeepneys cruising the streets. Affordable hostels and mid-range hotels cater to every budget traveller. Food options range from sizzling street-side barbecue to traditional Filipino restaurants that keep serving well into the night.

Ermita

Ermita delivers Manila's cultural heart with stunning ocean views and endless discoveries. The National Museum complex showcases Filipino masterpieces while Rizal Park's green lawns stretch towards the bay's edge. You can hop between historic landmarks, shop at SM City Manila, or catch performances at cultural centers that highlight local heritage and arts. The dining scene spans from hotel restaurants to local spots serving Filipino fusion along the Baywalk promenade. Three LRT stations make getting around a breeze, connecting you to Manila's top attractions without hassle. Hotels range from historic luxury properties to mid-range options perfect for culture lovers.

Binondo

Discover the world's oldest Chinatown in Binondo, where incense-scented temples neighbour Spanish colonial churches and colourful shophouses. Ongpin Street buzzes with vendors selling everything from traditional medicines to gold jewellery. Foodies flock here for authentic Chinese-Filipino cuisine, from steaming dim sum to fresh lumpia that'll make your taste buds dance. Finding a meal in Binondo is an adventure all its own, with hole-in-the-wall noodle shops and bakeries selling warm hopia pastries. Most visitors explore on foot despite the crowds, as narrow alleys hide the best treasures. While accommodation is limited within Binondo itself, nearby districts offer plenty of options just a short ride away.

Quiapo

Manila's Quiapo neighbourhood has lots of places to visit, such as Plaza Miranda and Quezon Bridge.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Manila

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Manila is during May, August, and September, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a budget-friendly experience, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended to fully appreciate the city's rich history and culture. You can explore notable landmarks such as cathedrals and churches, enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Chinatown, visit monuments, and indulge in shopping and dining experiences. Additionally, Manila offers a variety of cultural events, live music, and entertainment options, making it a great value for money destination.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers travellers the opportunity to uncover hotel deals for Manila by checking the Dealsopens in new window and Last-Minute Deals sections, where discounted rates may be available close to travel dates. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you're more likely to see flash sales and special promotions. Moreover, the Smart Shopping tool via the app is a comparison tool that could help you evaluate hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you are informed of any changes in availability or price reductions for a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates could help you find a more favourable rate for your stay in a hotel in Manila. If you're seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised atmosphere and may offer better value. When you make a booking through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could lead to a more affordable option for you.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Manila's superb public transport connections, you may find a more affordable independent hotel located further afield that remains well linked. For those eager to discover alternative, less congested neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money available. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more genuine and budget-friendly experience.
