Visiting Manila? While Manila’s nightlife isn’t quite as wild and varied as what you’ll find in Angeles City, it’s still a fun place to party and meet new people with a good range of bars and guest friendly hotels.
Most guest friendly hotels in Manila can be found in one of two areas: Makati (specifically, the area around P Burgos Street) and in the general area of Ermita and Malate districts. This is also where you’ll find most of the city’s nightlife.
In general, prices for nightlife in Makati are a little higher than in Ermita and Malate, although the area is a littler nicer and you’ll probably feel more comfortable there if you’re a first-timer. Manila has terrible traffic, meaning you’ll want to book a hotel close to the area you plan to go out in to avoid getting stuck in any traffic jams.
As a huge city, Manila has a diverse selection of guest friendly hotels, from budget options to a large range of five-star luxury hotels. Prices are generally very good and the city offers great value for money overall, although the nightlife is cheaper in Angeles. We’ve listed all of the guest friendly hotels in Manila below, along with guest ratings, a general price range, area information and a quick review for each hotel.
