Looking For Another Cheap Hotels To Stay-In In Manila?
Share:
If you depend on the internet, it’s difficult to search for cheap hotels in Manila. Even if you type-in “cheap hotels in Manila” in Google or Yahoo, usually the results are not what you’re looking for.
In my experience as an avid internet researcher for frugal traveling and as a frequent visitor to the Philippines and Southeast Asia, the only way to find a really cheap accommodation in most Asian countries, even if we think internet search results is getting close to what we’re looking for – the best way is to be there and talk to the locals.
Referring to Manila in this post, the cheap hotels I experienced being in are mostly in Quezon city. One of which I already wrote about in my previous post.
In this article, again I’d like to point all you frugal travelers to another cheap hotel in the Philippines I discovered in my latest visit to Manila. Included here are pictures and contact information of the accommodation and again, let me just say again that since this is a budget place, the room is small, similar to the other cheap hotel in Manila post I did way back.
Find below the information about this cheap hotel in Manila I’m talking about:
Name: Honey’s West Apartelle

For those readers who leave comments asking for other information, call them if you need more info. I just write about all the info I find while checked-in at cheap hotels in Manila locations.
Hope this post help those frugal travelers like me.
Updated feedback from reader Robert (January 2011):
Cheapest room rental: 800 pesos per day
One time deposit na 150 pesos na makukuha mo ulit upon check-out. (I should have included that pero nawala na sa isip ko. Thank you, Robert). Click this link to go to Robert’s review of Honeys West Apartelle.
Another update from Robert (February 2011):
According to Robert, you may avail of 12 hours stay for 600 pesos. I did not ask for that info or talked with anyone there about it. Salamat kay Robert, nadadagdagan ang mga info dito. Here’s the link to Roberts additional comment: click here
Here’s a video of one of the rooms at Honeys West. This room has 2 single beds. Ok for 2 persons but I think 2 people will also fit in each bed, as long as they’re not too chubby, so that’s 4 persons in the room if that’s the case. Please post your comments. Salamat po.

wow tnx for the info..alin po ang mas maganda na tutuluyan?eto o yong sa isa mo po post?
and by the way,may bigger rooms ba?thanks
hi vj,
para sakin, maganda sila pareho – meaning yung kwarto saka yung paligid. pero kung convenience ang pag-uusapan, mas gusto ko yung park villa kasi malapit sa mga kelangan ng biyaherong tulad natin. walking distance lang ang tropical hut, meron din grocery na malapit at saka laundry sa malapit sa tropical hut. tungkol sa malaking kwarto, di ko alam kasi panay single bed lang ang nasubukan ko. tawag ka na lang sa kanila. thanks.
i see..that’s great!umm,aside from these 2,may alam ka pa po bang apartelle na medyo mas malaki2 rooms?or may nasubukan ka ba na ibang pension house/apartelle?
hi vj,
meron akong nasubukan na malaki talaga ang kwarto, pero hindi sa quezon city, sa manila. walking distance lang sa baclaran church yung lugar. ang pangalan mabuhay manor – http://mabuhaymanor.com.ph ang website nila. malaki talaga yung kwarto, as in meron syang 2nd floor. 2 ang washroom, 2 queen size bed sa upper floor, sa lower floor meron kang sariling kitchen, sariling receiving area na merong sofa bed. siguro kahit mga 8 kayo kasya dun sa suite. syanga pala yung suite room ang tawag yata – family suite room. ang tanda ko ang binayaran ko dun eh 6,000 pesos per day. pino-promote namin yung mabuhay manor para sa mga balikbayan na taga-canada pero pag ako lang, dun lang sa mga cheapo-cheapo isa lang naman ako pag andyan sa pilipinas. puntahan mo yung website nila kung interesado ka.
lol very nicey :P, thanks sa info,
thank you sa compliment and you’re welcome, luci.
hi! pwede kaya magstay dyan for hours lang? mga 6 hours to 12 hours?
@chris, sa palagay ko hindi pwede yung short stay kasi napansin ko panay overnight ang mga nagre-rent. pero di ko sigurado yun. best thing to do para sure, tawag ka sa kanila.

i wanna thank the owner of this blog. if it wasnt because of this blog, i would have spent much much money. i followed the advice of the blogger and yes i stayed in this hotel for 5 days. ung latest price nilas as of january 2011 is 800 per room. but during the first day, meron kang deposit na 150 pesos na kukunin mo siya pag check out mo na. the room is actually descent .. aircon, clean bedsheets, with tv, clean bathroom, and free towels and even toiletries like shampo and soap. and sa labas ng room, it feels so home, kasi meron silang parang tambayan na para ka lang nasa bahay. and the place is in a very nice location. one ride to sm, trinoma, mrt north ave, that wil only cost u 7 pesos per route, tpos malapit lng sa mcdo, although medyo malayu kunti , pero to me malapit siya kasi from labas ng hotel eh makikita mo ung mcdo along west ave lang. and dun naman sa end point ng west ave sa quezon ave eh meron naman dun shakeys, and greenwhich, tskaa along the way lang sa west ave andaming restaurant. i even saw a buffet resto na 300 pesos ata ung price.. .. i like the place thats why on feb 1, 2011, il be travelling back to manila. and dun parin ako mag stay. cheap na, and friendly yung mga staff. .. before i forgot., dont forget to bring bottled water pala kasi they dont serve it for free and mahal kung sa canteen ka nila bumili.. yun lang yung glitch. bumili ako ng gel sa canteen nila, ung sachet lang .na usually its nly around 3pesos sa stores, sa kanila 15 pesos.hahahah asan ka pa. hehehe.. pero overall.maganda ang place.. to my standard ok na siya kng nagtitipid ka…
@robert, salamat naman napakinabangan mo info dito. and thank you din sa additional feedback mo, makakatulong yan sa iba pang readers nito. siguro, much better eh isasama ko yang feedback mo dun sa blog post kasi kapag dito sa comments, baka mapailaliman o hindi mabasa ng ibang visitor nitong website. kung meron kang ibang experience na mga mumurahing hotel o apartelle dyan – welcome kang isend sakin yung detalye (iloveadobo@yahoo.com), doesn’t matter kung english o tagalog o taglish – para maipost dito and syempre sa pangalan mo ang credit. kahit saan sa Pilipinas na hotel, kahit dyan sa probinsya mo – basta murang accommodation welcome dito. salamat ulit.
youre welcome po, i went back to manila last feb 1 2011, and stayed there for another 4 days. so update ko lng siya and also add more details about the place. well, to start with, the same price parin siya na 800 pesos per 24 hours. the good thing about this apartelle is hindi katulad sa hotel na 12noon check in time at 12noon check out time, dito kasi, kung what time ka mag checheck i, eh un din yung check out time mo. and they also have 12hours , it cost 600 pesos. last january when i went there underconstruction yung carinderia, but last feb 1, 2011, nag open na ulit.the food are cheap. yet masarap. sa maalala ko, the prices of ulam are from 25 pesos to 45 pesos. depende kung anung ulam. meron din silang combo meals, like tapsilog, etc, and that cost 50 pesos.. aside from the usual 800 pesos per day nila na price, they also offer a bigger room for family which can accomodate 6 person( di ako sure, pero as far as i can remember its 6 or 4.,)i forgot how much but dont you worry guys because I will be back in manila again by second week of march,lol. I will be going out of the country and before ako aalis ng bansa eh stay ako sa manila for two days. , another thing i wanna add which is a little negative about this apartelle is yung changing of linens nila. napansin ko kasi, kung hindi ka mag rerequest ng change of linen eh di din nila papalitan. hehe, but good thing i always ask for change of linen every other day. the staff are really friends basta ba wag ka lang masungit kung mag aaproach ka. the owner is actually an ilocana, nakauspa ko na kasi siya when i was there, she was curious kung taga saan ako and why i frequently check in sa apartelle nila. lol. right now, may under construction na buildng beside this apartelle, i dont know kung another apartelle na namna yun. minus point of this apartelle is hindi ito wifi , but i have talk to the owner and they said, na they are thinking about it. i hope by the time na babalik ako by march 13, eh wifi na yung area. in all fairness to this apartelle malakas yung aircon nila super.lol. sad thing is, medyo manipis ang kumot sa totoo lang., when i go to this place, dun ako parati sa baba, kasi tinatamad ako na umakyat baba , so i dont know hows the room upstairs, but so far sa experience ko, ok naman, hope this helps alot to those who are looking for place to stay. by the way, to the owner of this blog, i mentioned your blog to the owner of the apartelle and told me na paki sabihan daw kita na thank u for a free advertisement. ;)
thanks again, robert. wow, sana nga magkaron sila ng wifi para naman di na kelangan maghanap pa kung saan-saan kung paano kumunekta sa internet. gamit ko kasi pagtawag sa family overseas, eh skype – kasi malaking mura. malaking tipid din na maka-connect man lang ako sa skype para naman yung load ko sa cellphone pag andyan ako, hindi agad maubos. mahal ang overseas sa cp, ‘no? hindi naman ako marunong mag-text. lol.
pwede ba mgpareserve or book, prior ka mag stay
@jay-ar: ang alam ko first come, first serve sila meaning dapat andun ka para magbayad agad. di ko natanong yun. pwede pakitawagan na lang sila? thank you.
@ jay-ar. they dont do advance reservation.. i have asked that sa front desk nila. tama yung sinabi ng owner ng blog na u have to be there talaga. dont worry, kasi marami naman sila rooms na available… hope that helps..
@robert, thanks for confirming that. hindi ko natanong yun nung mag-check in ako dun. basta pagdating ko, meron room na available agad kasi.
thanks thanks! ok lang ba dun kahit 24 hours stay??
@ Jay-ar: last March 7 sinubukan ko magpa-reserve by phone sa Honey’s West, nilista nila pangalan ko saka cp number ko. Pagdating ko dun, tinanong nila ko kung meron ako prior reservation – meron silang listahan ng mga nagpapa-reserve. So, sinabi ko kung anong pangalan ng nagpa-reserve, yung date nung magpa-reserve kami at saka yung phone number ko. So, hino-nor naman nila yung reservation ko.
Now, hindi ko lang alam kung SOP nilang bago yun kaya ang pinakamabuti, tawag ka sa kanila para malaman mo kung pwede na nga ang reservation.
Yes, oo pwedeng 24 hours lang. Kung anong oras ka pumasok, ganun oras ka din magtse-check out. I hope that helps.
ahh really thanks, last question kasi plan namin tlga ng partner ko sa sogo kami mgstay kaso di ba hindi nman pwede lmabas dun para bumili ng food, dun po b pwede ka lmbas like sa mga usual Hotel na pwede ka kmain ganun!
Ganun ba sa SOGO? Di naman siguro. Bakit naman di ka pwede lumabas kung gusto mo? Pero dun sa Honeys West, anytime mo gusto lumabas, walang pipigil sayo. Basta siguraduhin mo lang i-lock ang kwarto mo para sa safety ng gamit mo. Pwede mo dalhin ang susi, pero kapag nawala mo yung susi, sa kanila na yung deposit mo – ganun yata.
thank you tlaga ahh, ayun alam ko kasi ganun kasi di ba naglolock door un na magbubukas lang pag nag surrender ka nang susi mo.
thank you sir i love adobo and Sir Robert sa blog really help us nag stay kami dito last thursday, this place is really nice and peaceful nga! hehehe! grabe the best place and we decided na bumalik ulit dun, maganda kasi…

hope that helped.
Hi po, may room po for 8 persons?
@tine – di ko sigurado kung meron silang room na pang-waluhan. ang nasubukan ko last time 2 single bed sa isang room – pero di ko sinasabing wala silang ganun kalaking room.
buti pa, tawag ka na lang sa kanila para sigurado. thanks.
alam niyo po ba kung ano po ang age limit nila para makapagpabook ng room? thank you po.
@kayne – magandang tanong yan, ah. pero di ko masasagot yan. pero kung papa book ka lang by phone, wala naman silang tinatanong kung ilan taon yung kausap nila. tanda ko cp number lang at saka pangalan ang tinanong.

how safe yong place sa honey west my 24 hours security ba sila
thnak you
@Jeff – thank you naman napakinabangan mo info dito. Malayo sya sa MOA pero ang sakayan sa harapan lang mismo nung apartelle. Tapos 24 hours ang security kaya safe talaga yung lugar. Para malaman mo kung pareho pa din ang presyo, tawag ka muna sa kanila.
hi hello.. 750 only in 1 day stay.may mga advance deposite bang binabayran or wala na.???
@Tifany – pakitawagan sila baka kasi nagbago na ulit presyo nila. Last Jan. 2011, 800 na plus 150 deposit. Kung sakaling meron silang price change, paki-comment naman dito para mailagay sa update sa main post. Thank you sa inyong lahat.
