The Henry Hotel Manila

As I have said before, this hotel has secluded old world charm at a reasonable price. The staff are great. And this time I got a room where the shower did not flood the floor. :>) The balcony had a great garden view. This is my hotel of choice in Manila. And it is quite near little shops for necessities-- not like the big hotel chains along the bay that are often isolated from anything.

One gets three devices for WIFI, but the third device may be rejected by the system. My advice is to go to the front desk, they will give one another password for the third devise.

Perfect combo of retreat and proximity to city life

From the moment you enter, you are transported to another time. There's an unhurried air around the place. Lovely garden, historic home as the centerpiece. Staff is exceptionally well trained and will do their absolute best to accommodate your request. Popcorn at 9pm to munch while watching a movie? You bet. If you want to get out for shows, shopping or sight seeing, you are very near Mall of Asia and Intramuros. Highly recommended.

The website is very clear on the square footage of each class of room and because it is a historic home that has been converted, I expected the room to be on the small side. However, when I stay again, I'll ask to have a look at the available rooms before I take my key. My room was quite small and that was fine since I was alone. If I had been with a companion, it would have been too small.
