Manila Travel Forum

Going to manila along with 6 to 7 companies and going to stay for 7 days and 6 nights... anybody who knows a cheap, accessible place that can accommodate 7 people (can be 2 rooms) somewhere in makati, ortigas or near cubao ... which is also differently-abled friendly place...

Depending on what you mean by cheap but the Great Eastern is 1400 standard room 1800 Delux view is the differance. You would need 2 rooms.Look at their nweb site they have 2 hotels 1 in Makati one in Queizon City

The Eurotel
Araneta, Cubao
at Sampaguita Bldg.
Cor. General Araneta and Gen. Roxas st., Cubao, Quezon City

Araneta offers many malls, restaurants, food courts in the malls, entertainment, 2 metro lines (LRT2 and MRT3), many intercity bus terminals and jeepneys/FX terminals (at Farmers and Ali Mall). Not much air pollution and pedestrian friendly area.

I would recommend Astoria Plaza Hotel in Ortigas, 2 bedrooms, because it's not only equipped with a kitchen, it has a shuttle that goes to Megamall, Robinson's and Shangrila malls. These malls are 10-15 minute walk away from the hotel so it's convenient.

You definitely do not want to stay in Cubao as not too many tourists stay there. For an overview of what to see in Manila, here is my article http://www.ehow.com/how_4861843_beat-heat-manila.html

For more information about Makati and Manila, you can visit my VT pages as they are one of the top 5 pages.

I stayed at the Eurotel after getting off the bus from Vigan once and you don't want to stay there.Its a sex hotel 4 8 12 24 hour rates and couples lined up to get in.The aera is good by the mall.
