Une belle expérience dans un hôtel historique
Pros:

L'accueil parfait du personnel, le petit déjeuner (et le dîner au même endroit), le décor de l'accueil, le groupe de musique classique de grande qualité qui joue le soir dans l'accueil, la salle de bain. Le lit était parfait.

Cons:

Chambre vieillissante, matériel dysfonctionnel (tv dans la salle de bain, les tiroirs peu pratiques)
Le lieu pourrait être sympa, mais la vue mer n'est franchement pas terrible, et l'aménagement pour sortir à pied dans le secteur n'est pas fou (mais tout n'est pas de la responsabilité de l'hôtel)

Excellent
Pros:

Excellent stay.
Tiny criticism, no teaspoons in restaurant. Everytime i ordered or went to the coffee station there are NO teaspoons. How are you supposed to stir the sugar with your finger?
As I say, a very small criticism, but my stay was Excellent as always 😊

Cons:

Teaspoons

Hit or miss
Pros:

Multiple visits to this hotel but different experiences, depending on the season. Lobby is stunning but the ease of check in - again - depending on the season. I would agree that rooms are classic yet elegant. Hotel also holds lot of history as they hosted grand personalities.

However, last visit during my husband's convention, I felt discriminated. I wanted to eat in the lobby wearing casual (not lounge/homewear) with my daughter, two groups cut the line. The first one was understandable as they were seniors citizens but the second group were group of middle aged wearing suit and tie. I tried to talk to the manager so they can manage the system and he offered me to use other parts of the restaurant which his staff did not offer to me. Nobody said sorry but I let it pass. Maybe I was just hungry.

I ate in the Lobby restaurant again the day after, along with my husband and daughter the next day. The usual, I was wearing casual and my husband was wearing suit and tie because of it was his convention. I personally ordered but when the order came, they set up my husband's table and they did not set up mine. This is my first time be treated this way. Not even in other five star hotels. I reported to the manager on duty and saw her jotting down the details and she mentioned she will contact us but she never did. Regardless of status, they should treat everyone with respect. Everyone is paying here, regardless of their social status.

Never again. I, a Filipino, discriminated in Manila at THE Manila Hotel by my co-Filipinos.

An iconic landmark to stay at in Manila, offering a warm welcome and a memorable overall experience.
Pros:

From the entrance to the lobby, everything at TMH feels welcoming and inviting, with staff that truly elevate the experience. Had an amazing stay.

Cons:

The rooms could be better equipped for tourists, particularly when it comes to accessible electrical sockets.

Séjour hyper décevant ,je déconseille +++
Pros:

Hôtel impersonnel
Salle de bain des années 80,pas de sèche cheveux pourtant nous avons réservé une suite
Eau froide pour la douche le soir et le matin très désagréable
Petit déjeuner énorme mais pas fameux

Cons:

Service lamentable
Pas de sourire ,une usine
Nous avons demandé de prendre une douche avant notre départ comme nous avions un vol pour la France on nous a demandé 24 euros pour 2 douches
Du jamais vu et pourtant nous avons beaucoup voyagé
Nous regrettons l’hôtel que nous avions pris près de l’aéroport à notre arrivée beaucoup moins cher et vraiment beaucoup mieux
