I have stayed here maybe 5 times in the past 10 years, with the most recent visit being in March 2013. I also stayed here once in 1998. I do not believe the rooms in this establishment have ever been refurbished since 1998. In 1998, on my first stay here, upon opening my room door for the first time, I... More

I am reporting on a rather unpleasant incident regarding the Swagman Fly the Bus March 24-27, 2013. I have used this service from manila to Angeles several times over the years. On March 24th we arrived at the Ermita Swagman at 11:00 am expecting to take the 11:30 bus to Angeles. When attempting to pay for 2 one way seats... More

This is a hugely important and historic hotel most known for the quantities of booze and babes (that is likely a stretch) consumed by its residents. Any randy Aussie north of the 50 year mark and visiting Manila has shagged here at least once--Bedbugs be damned!! The rooms aren't the attraction, it's the residents. Think of Crocodile Dundee, but missing... More

The Swagman in Ermita, Manila has had it's day I'm afraid. First stayed there about fifteen years ago and thought it was overrated, over priced and old then - nothing has changed except it is more overrated, over priced and run down! The only good point is the Fly-the-Bus transport system that runs through the Swagman organisation. I stayed in... More

I have stayed at this hotel regularly over the past few years and sadly seen both the condition of the hotel and the service decline. I was to be picked up from my Qantas flight at 7 pm on 21 December and was left behind. If you travel to the Philippines or for that matter any place I would suggest... More

I have stayed Swagman Manila many times.Really only the location is favourable.They have a free airport pick up and drop off but this is covered by the above average fees they charge for rooms.The rooms are small,cleanliness is questionable and even their food is over priced but adequate. Their saving grace is they know the meaning of COLD beer!. Swagman... More

We were offered a room at the last minute due to our ferry to Sabang being cancelled. Although grateful for the room, we could not spend more than a night there (and we have backpacked the world over). The room was depressing and dangerous. The aircon ran (not dripped) like a tap. And when we turned it off so that... More
