Majestic Hotel (formerly Octagon Mansion Hotel)

Simple budget hotel, don't expect too much.

It was good and clean and the staff were so nice to me. The location was perfect for me. I extended my stay there for three more nights

The location is good: around 30 minutes to Imtramuros on foot, and 20 to National Museum of Anthropology or Fine Arts. There's a supermarket and several cafés and restaurants nearby. The room is a bit small but okay. Breakfast was also good (you get to choose from some dishes on offer). But! Starting from the arrival the service left much to be desired, to say the least. Early check-in would cost me more than two nights on Trip.com (i specifically inquired on the platform to find out where it was a mistake, but it wasn't). Then the luggage storage would be for free for the first five hours, and then 50 php per hour - they didn't even notify me about that, and i just came across this information by chance. Even worse, one receptionist told me it was okay to leave my luggage at the hotel overnight, but the other one said it would cost me a one day room rate. I explained all this to the receptionist, but with no understanding on their part. That was extremely disappointing, especially because i had already made plans based on this and had to rearrange them on the spot.

Location is good if you are going around Manila. Bell boys were very kind and assisting but the staff at the reception area keep on chatting and do not mind the guests.

Was a great stay would definitely make a return! The staff was also extremely helpful.

What truly made this hotel stand out was the exceptional level of service. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure we had a perfect stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable experience. I will definitely be returning! Absolutely Exceptional Stay!
