Golden City Hotel - Manila

Good site near LRT-1 Carriedo station. Nearby large street markets. If you like the area in which practically you won't meet Europeans, this place for you. The hotel rather clean (only in a bathroom on a floor there lives a mold), conditioners work perfectly. Beds excellent. In my presence there was no declared free Internet access, but near hotel there […] is an excellent Internet cafe. WiFi signal practically isn't present in the rooms.Cellular networks signal is also tooo weak. The price when booking on the Internet is significantly lower than if you pay in hotel. Yes, in this hotel credit cards aren't accepted. The personnel very polite, especially the more senior man who is sitting near an entrance door (alas I don't remember his name) - he's always ready to help, prompt, carry out. For the money hotel is really excellent. If I return to Manila, I will surely stop here. Read more

That's ok for some nights but many problems with WiFi and internet in room, need to go to entrance to get good network.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Very good location-close to MRT but the surrounding area is not very clean. There are convenient stores and fast food restaurants around which is a plus. The room has air-conditioning which is a big plus but otherwise just a room with basic necessities.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For an inexpensive hotel, this place was great with a/c, cable tv, and wifi in the rooms.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the hotel is basically a overnight stay type, cheap and very basic. tiny room with queen beds but with either a boxspring or a mattress and not both. the floor tiles are not glued on so it is uneven, somebody can trip and get killed hitting the bed`s frames sharp corner. I slipped on the wet floor once and hit the corner. everything is so tightly packed, […] no room for a dresser to put our clothes in. toilet and shower in a small space, so when you shower the whole washroom is wet. the hotel is only one year old but everything is already falling apart. the staff is very helpful and friendly but the hotel is just not good enough.

The hotel had roaches. The bed was as hard as the floor. It was located in a very bad part of Manila and I felt very unsafe being a single woman traveling by myself. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I needed to find an affordable option for a three week stay in Manila with my girlfriend. I choose this hotel because of the price and the many positive reviews at the time I booked the room. Since I booked the room, there have been a series of negative reviews of the hotel, many people having stayed only one or two nights. Perhaps things have changed […] in recent months but let me try to set everything straight. The hotel staff were always pleasant and often helped us find cabs when we needed them. Because we stayed so long, they comped us free dinner one night from the hotel restaurant, the Phat Panda. (Decent food, not great). When I checked in, the room was dirty. There was a fair amount of hair and dust under the bed and in the corners. The bathroom had a lot of crud built up on the floor, the sink, etc. There were some flying insects and quite a few ants. I also killed three cockroaches over the course of my stay. Rather than complain, knowing that this was my home for three weeks, I took it upon myself to clean everything. The bathroom was then spotless. I bug bombed the room and I found the ant nest in the corner and took care of that problem as well. The staff came and cleaned the room on most days for a modest tip and things were pretty tidy from there out. One person complained about a foul smell in the entrance of the hotel in one review. That was true when I got there, but they replaced the carpet which I think was the source of the problem and now the smell is gone and it looks a lot better. A lot of people complained about the beds being very hard, and that is true too. My girlfriend actually liked the bed, and I slowly got used to it. It also wouldn't hurt to hang a painting or two in the room. The tv was ok, but I don't watch much tv. The hotel itself is in Chinatown in Manila which is a very busy place during the day. I never felt unsafe during the day, but I'm sure there are lots of pickpockets around. At night there are some homeless people around t Read more

It was nice although I think the location of the hotel was not easy to locate.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The best part about this hotel was the location. Some would say it's a bit rough but we loved it, right in the middle of it, not many tourists around here. I wouldn't come with children and when I went to 7/11 after midnight, I left my fiance in the room but generally its safe if your smart. Staff were really helpful, especially the amazing security […] guard. We stayed here at the beginning and end of our trip. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Awesome location, right in the heart of the city. Internet is a bit week on the third floor but we got moved as soon as we could. Staff are great and the security guard has a lot of info! Great place to stay for a couple night. We're heading back for the last couple nights for our trip.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We stayed here for when we were about to take the board exams. Very cheap, and you get just what you pay for. Don't expect anything special. Location is very convenient though. Plus points for free wifi and cable tv.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I didnt understand the ‘dangerous’ reputation of previous reviews. As a white female travelling alone in Manila for 22 days I never once felt unsafe. I stood out & was immediately noticed as I walked down the street–but it was a feeling of surprised curiosity rather than danger. Room wasn’t anywhere near as dirty as I feared based on reviews. HOWEVER […] staff will only clean your room every 4 days (this also means 4 days of rubbish build up). I also found I had to buy my own toilet paper, and the ‘provided toiletries’ was for the first day only. Although there is a shower included in the room as promised this is only a connected shower head within the bathroom – there is no actual shower recess. Certainly wasn’t the Western idea of shower I had assumed. Wi-fi proved is temperamental – there was only 1 place I could get a connection within my room, and other guests were usually found sitting in the staircase or downstairs with their laptops as couldn’t connect to weak signal in room. If ur someone who is fully comprehending of what a budget hotel price means for the level of provided accommodation you could not go wrong with this place. If I was to travel budget again I would certainly return here (the location alone is an immediate selling point) but if I was to have more of a holiday/ luxury feel I would suggest u accept u will have to pay more for a higher class of accommodation. Fantastic for proper travellers as opposed to ‘holiday tourists’–definitely somewhere to consider Read more

This hotel locates in not good area, very dirty and noisy neighborhood but only 2 min walk to LRT carriedo station, might be the best thing to this hotel.

this hotel is far from manira airport. people like worker in front of hotel are not hotel worker, and you shouldnt ask them to take taxi because it makes taxi fee far higher.

We enhoyted our stay at the Golden City hotel. The hotel is located in a very colorfull part of town (close to Chinatown and all the sights). The nabourhood is a bit rough - don't walk intoxicated and alone here at night, but that properly goes for must areas in Manila. The beds were covered with a plastic sheet. This makes them a bit hot to sleep in. Hotel […] staff were extremely friendly and helpfull. We will stay here next time also. Read more

The hotel is just perfect for me as it is central to the places I need to visit. Very accessible by LRT, Taxi and public transport. I think I shall choose this hotel next year for at least a couple of weeks. Wifi signal is strong...love it.

Most locals say that this area is quite bad to go at night. Apparently there are a lot of snatchers in the area. The hotel maintenance is poor, the rooms are not clean and the entrance of the hotel stinks. In both rooms, the bathroom was not clean and in the "suite", there where papers, old flowers and hair under my bed. Additionally, the beds are […] really hard (box-spring), it takes a while to get used to these. Read more

This is not a touristy location so don't expect to see foreigners around. The hotel is only 2 mins away from the train station. The neighbourhood is lively with stalls set up on the roads and they're open from morning till late at night. If you don't like crowds, this is not the place to be. The room is small but clean. The bathroom is tiny but clean. […] If you don't plan to hibernate in the room all day, this is a good option. Enjoyed my stay. :) Read more

If you are a foreigner or balikbayan looking for a taste of Manila, Quiapo is as Filipino as it gets. And for those who are on a strict budget, the Golden City Hotel is not a bad option. Yes, the area is dirty and busy and can be dangerous at night but that goes for most locations here in Metro Manila. Pros: - Low Rates - Very friendly, courteous and […] helpful staff - Water Heater, powerful aircondition, free WiFi - Has its own Restaurant with affordable and decent food - Filipino-Chinese area; beside Quiapo church and Carriedo LRT station Cons: - Lack of a safe and access cards for the doors can be a safety and security concern - The washroom was literally smaller than a standard-sized bathtub. You will be sitting on your toilet while taking a shower or using the sink. - Noise from streets can easily be heard through the windows - Free wifi may not reach all rooms and signal fluctuates - Hard beds - Room was not clean at all... hair and dirt from previous guests were on the bed and floor - Aircondition did not have controls. You need to plug it in/out to turn it on/off. Read more

The traffic noise is annoying and nonstop 24-7. Mosquitoes ate me alive during my stay due to a lack of screening on a outside vent. Close to the LRT station was a plus. Staff made some attempt to make my stay pleasent. Room cost is reasonable.

I had to stay in Manila for the weekend to purchase supplies for my business. I found Golden City Hotel Manila and the price was affordable for my short stay plus it was quite close to my supplier.

駅から徒歩数分。ジプニー乗り場も近く、マラテ地区に行くには便利。もちろんタクシーもすぐに捕まえられる程度の交通量あり。 食事はホテル一階に食堂があり、歩いて数分で中華街もあり、食事には事欠かない。 携帯電話が窓際しか使えない。清潔度、部屋の造りは料金を考えると、「こんな物か…」という感じ。

在唐人街，周边环境只能用脏，乱，差来形容。房间有很大的霉味，边边角角都有蜘蛛丝。床单也很不干净，大人小孩都睡得全身发痒。楼梯随处可见大小强。整体酒店看起来象大众旅馆。如果不是已经扣款，一看这情况肯定马上走人。这么差，没有任何性价比可言的酒店就不要在网站上推广了。

처음에 현지분들이 골든시티호텔을 잘 몰라 찾아가는데는 좀 애먹었습니다. 다행히 구글에서 지도 프리트해서 드라이버에게 보여줘서 잘 찾아갔습니다. 제가 갔을때는 크리스마스시즌이여서 엄청 막히고 고생해서 갔네요.. 택시타고 찾아가기는 조금 힘들지만, 이용면에선 아주 만족합니다. 5명이서 갔는데 더블배드2개 들어간 방 2개예약해서 갔습니다. 침대가 넓직하니 잘 잤습니다. 건물은 좀 옛날 건물이긴 하지만 방도 넓직해서 좋았구요 인트라무로스갈때는 기차를 이용했는데 바로 한정거장만 가면 되서 이용하기 좋았고 시내이동하다가 괜찮은 택시기사 만나서 다음날 약속잡고 공항까지 그 택시기사가 픽업나와서 편하게 갔었습니다. 주인아줌마도 인상은 […] 우락부락 하셨지만 막상 뭐를 물어보니 아주 친절하게 대답해주시고.. 가격대비면 이용도는 정말 만족수준입니다.
