We booked a single night when we had miscalculated the length of our stay and had to fill in. This was not quite an 11th hour booking - but almost. It was 2300 when we arrived and we were tired. The TV didn't work. There were no towels. The bedside lamp didn't work either. Each a small item but very... more

Touching base in Manila & wandering into this place seemed ok for a budget traveler. The Malate area is a bit of a colourful location with a vibrant nightlife scene which makes this hotel a good place to settle. The Malate Pensione has a dark wooden interior with such floorboards, staircases, doors & furnishings a little like an English pub... more

The wooden rooms are very basic. It's ok if you're just spending the night since it's decently priced. The room wasn't impecably clean, but acceptable. It's well located, close to several restaurants. more

I stayed in Malate pensionne for 5 days with my family in the philippines. The room we had was an en-suit family room which is suffcient enough for the 4 of us.

My boyfriend and I booked the Malate Pensionne (via email) for a few days stay in Manila on our way back home from an 8 month traveling stint. We're no strangers to 'interesting' rooms, but this room was downright uninhabitable. We checked in and were asked to pay cash for the first night of accommodation, so we did. After carrying... more

Went to Manila for a day for US Embassy appointment last June 2008. We have to choose a pensionne, where we can leave our stuff and most of all where we can just take a walk going to US Embassy. The appointment was 730am. Luckily, I found Malate Pensionne- the cheapest. The rate was 1400 Php, with aircon, with TV... more
