Hi, I am going to Manila with my girlfriend in june and we are looking for a very cheap but nice hostel/hotel to stay in. Hostelworld doesnt really have anything so if anyone knows any hidden gems that would be great. Thanks, Bri.
Cheap hostel/hotel in Manila
If you want to stay in Makati (Manila's business district), CEO Suites (632) 897-7272 is the cheapest i could find, PHP 2,317.50 standard room inclusive of breakfast & tax. Next is City Garden (632) 899-1111, Php 2,900++ with breakfast.
Take care!

You didn't mention how much per night "cheap" means to you.
Here is a link to a hotel in the Ermita area on Mabini Street.

Good points for this area are that this hotel is close to Robinson Mall which you can easily walk to in a few minutes, for the new Mall of Asia a meter taxi cab ride is around 70 pisos. There are restaurants, internet shops and banks and ATMs in this area.
This hotel is not far from the casino on United Nations and within walking distance of the MRT.
There are bars in this area if that is a concern to you. LA Cafe and G Point Pub are two that I recall. G Point, on Padre Faura, has decent food and drink specials every day.
Other hotels are in this area, some are cheaper and some are more expensive. I often book one or 2 nights at a new hotel and take some time to look around for a change if needed.
well when i mean cheap i mean a hostel that has a double room in it. I am used to travelling on my own and always stay in hostels. Just somewhere to sleep thats all. So the cheaper the better, I just didnt want to stay in a place that was really unpleasant.
