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.
Updated feedback from reader Marian (April 2012):
Room rental is still 800 pesos per day. She rented a family room which has 1 queen size and 1 twin bed and the rent is 1600 pesos nightly. Extra person is 100 pesos, additional bed 100 pesos. Read Marian’s comment here. Salamat ng marami, Marian.
We have update from reader Ann (March 2013):
Apparently, their rates stayed low at 800 pesos/day and additional person is still 100 pesos. That’s good news to us frugal travelers, at least we have a place to stay at in Metro-Manila that is still below the 1000 peso mark. Go here to read Ann’s comment. Maraming salamat, magandang binibini! Sana nag-enjoy kayo sa Honeys West.
Latest updated information from reader Dolly (June 2013):
For all those asking for some details of renting a room or rooms at this accommodation, please refer to the comment contribution of reader Dolly here. Dolly did a great effort in getting those important information for the benefit of people searching for cheap accommodation in Manila (errr, Quezon city pala). I hope some of the readers review the info she provided. Thanks very much, Miss Dolly for your update. I appreciate it very much.
Hi nais ko lamang po sana mag tanong sa inyo kung ang room po ba dito is may water heater? and kung allowed mag smoke sa room kasi may mga napasukan na akong apartelle na di puwedeng mag smoke sa room. thanks po :D and any update sa price nila for 24hours.
Bryzkie, walang heater ang shower nila. Sa experience ko, parang hindi yata umaakyat ang tubig sa shower head kaya tabo-tabo lang din paligo. Hindi ko alam kung bawal manigarilyo sa kwarto, tawag ka sa kanila para matanong mo. Tungkol sa update ng presyo, meron update si Marian nito lang April, PHP800 per day. Eto yung link. Update mo kami pag nag-check in ka. Thank you.

hi! ask ko lang po directions manggagaling kasi ako sa victory bus station sa kamias paano po commute papunta doon? baka kasi maligaw ako eh.
Sorry Raj, di ko din alam ang way pag gumamit ng public transport. Ang alam ko lang between EDSA at saka Quezon Avenue yung Honeys West along West Avenue. Ang mabuti siguro, tumawag ka sa kanila para sa info na kelangan mo. Thanks.
hi. ask ko lang.. how far is this haus from oceanpark?
Sorry po, Miss Bless. Di ko alam ang eksatong layo nya sa Manila Ocean Park. Pero sa palagay ko malayo dahil sa Quezon City ang Honeys West tapos nasa Roxas Boulevard ang Ocean Park, kung tama ang memory ko.
How much po kaya pag 12hours lang?
Hi Rhane. Sabi ni Robert dito, 600 pesos lang. Pero nung Feb. 2011 pa yun, kaya di ko alam kung nagbago sila ng rate. Pakitawagan na lang sila. Favor lang, pwedeng paki-update mo ko kung magkano na ang bago nilang rates? Thanks.

@Erica, sorry, ha? Ngayon ko lang nakita comment mo. Anyway, pakitawagan na lang yung hotel kasi di ko alam kung ano ang eksaktong patakaran nila sa tanong mo. Salamat.
Hello! Alam nyo n po Kung magkano yung rates nila ngayong February 2013? Tnx!

Salamat sa bagong update, Ann. Buti ganun pa din ang presyo katulad nung 2011 report ni Robert at saka 2012 ni Marian. Thank you kindly.

Ask ko lang po,meron po ba silang service for pick up sa airport?
At ung flat screen and eating area kasali po ba sa bed and bathroom un? Anong room po ung my flat screen at eating area?
Ask ko lang po kung pwede teenagers below 18 na mag check in dito. Thank you po :)
Ask ko lang po kung pwede teenagers below 18 mag check in? Thanks po :)
@Jane, hindi ko alam ko meron silang airport pickup service pero kung ako sayo, magta-taxi na lang ako from the airport. Baka kasi kung meron man sila pick up service, siguradong mas mahal yun kesa taxi galing sa airport. Tungkol naman sa flat screen tv, halos puro flat screen tv na ang nakita ko last time na mag-check in ako sa Honeys West at saka meron eating area ang mga kwarto kahit na maliit lang. Tawag ka sa kanila kung meron ka pa tanong. Enjoy mo ang stay mo sa Honeys West Apartelle.
January & Andie, hindi ko alam ang ruling nila tungkol sa age limit. Subukan nyo tanungin na lang.
Kakastay lang namin dito for two days. Doon kami sa single room. Ayos naman siya, malaki kasi kaming dalawa so tamang kasya sa bed (hehehe), yung TV sa room namin is hindi flat screen.
May wi fi pero hindi rin naman siya dependable kasi di ka makakonekta ng maayos kahit katapat na namin mismo yung office. May table sa tabi ng bed na may isang baso, pitsel at ashtray.
May water dispenser naman sila sa may office, may fridge din sila na nagbebenta ng mga drinks at may mga tsitsirya pero di ko alam kung magkano nila binebenta.
Nagtry breakfast kami sa canteen sa loob, doble ang presyo ng inumin, example yung coke na worth 10 pesos sa kanila is 20 pesos, spam is worth 30 per slice. Ang inorder namin is 3 slice ng spam, 3 cup ng rice, 2 tortang talong tapos isang royal sakto and that is already worth 200 pesos na.
Marami din nagpapadeliver dun since malapit naman sa mga fast food. May mga numbers din naman sila ng mga kainan sa office so at least di na kelangan search sa net.
Katapat din ang Baliwag at Puregold Jr kung may bibilhin, tatawid kayo sa kabilang kalsada.
Hindi sila tumatanggap ng reservation, pwede ka tumawag sa mismong araw na magstay ka tapos bibigyan ka ng leeway. Galing kami ng Cainta so binigyan kami at least 2 hours pero pag wala pa cancel na since madami nga talagang nagchecheck in sa kanila. Pero bago kami nagpunta nabanggit sa amin na usually napupuno sila ng 9 pm at nauunang napupuno ang mga rooms worth Php 800 so at least may idea kayo what time ideal magpunta para di maubusan ng kwarto.
Extra pillow is 30 pesos each. May shower naman yung premium room. Bibigyan ka rin pala ng packet na may maliit na soap tsaka shampoo. Isang sakay lang siya papunta SM North/Trinoma and vice versa so kung gusto gumala madali lang at madaling makabalik kasi daanan ng sasakyan. May mga ATMs din na malapit lakad lakad lang ng konti in case kelangan niyo maghanap.
By the way, when you check in may papipirmahan sa inyo tapos meron din sa likod. After check out inspect nila room at kapag blood stain charge ka ng Php 150 (Ito yung natatak sa isip ko) tapos papabayad din kapag may nasira ka.
2 lang basis ng check in, 24 hours and 12 hours. Daily basis din ang pagbayad. Natandaan ko nakalagay is no payment, no extension. Hehehe.
So there, buti na lang at masipag ako magresearch ng pwede matuluyan dahil napakamahal ng mga hotel/apartelle na maayos/disente at malapit sa mga sakayan. Next na cheapest na yata na nakita ko is sa City State Hotel sa Quiapo which 1125 for 24 hrs tapos nasa 900 plus yung 12 hours. Salamat po Adobo Republic napaghandaan ko stay namin sa QC :-)
Thank you sa follow-up, Raj! Malaking tulong sa mga readers nitong site na ‘to ang dagdag na info mo dito. Inedit ko lang ng konti para magkaron ng paragraph para naman hindi mahirapan magbasa yung mga iba. Idadagdag ko din sa update sa main article ang mga observation mo para updated lagi yung article. Pag nasa Pilipinas ulit ako, susubukan ko yung State Hotel na binanggit mo dito. Salamat ulit ng marami!
