My husband got a bad stomach after eating in their restaurant. The room was not clean and smells bad. The bed was not comfy. It is a very old hotel and needs an upgrade really bad. The location and view is average. The service was good.

I like the idea of a central downtown hotel; however, some are more stressful to get into to: and this is one of those – twice I had trouble finding it in a taxi and motorcycle – it’s often confused with the Peal garden about 8 VERY busy blocks away! The facility is mostly modern and clean, but it’s not... More

I imagine this place was pretty flash back in the day. You can catch glimpses of this but sadly not much has been done to it since so is looking a tad worn and worse for wear in places. However for a cheap budget hotel, the pleasant helpful staff, outdoor rooftop pool, free Wifi in the lobby (on the 9th... More

Let's start with the positives. The staff are very helpful and the location is in the heart of Manila. Sadly, this hotel needs a serious makeover. The rooms are shabby, often with broken fittings, unreliable air conditioning and poor showers. Sorry to say, I cannot recommend it to anybody.

We were forced to return to this hotel as my work mate thinks it has a great gym, which it does! But that is it, the 2 slow lifts, and rude staff make it a terrible stay. The 3rd worker's lift which is near the internal stairwell hasn't yet been fixed, so they clog up the visitor's lifts. Wifi only... More

We stayed a total of 15 nights over December and January period, checking in and out several times when we went out of town. The hotel is not very expensive, however I have paid less for a much better experience.

The Pearl is a good choice when you are looking for a reasonable priced hotel in the heart of Manila. Staff seems to be well trained and all of them were friendly. Room service breakfast was disappointing.
