Hotel H2O is the first and only marine-themed urban resort hotel in the Philippines. Opened on April 10, 2010, the hotel is part of the Manila Ocean Park complex in the Philippine capital’s historic Rizal Park. It has been designated as the official residence for guests and patrons of Manila Ocean Park.Every part of Hotel H2O has a connection to its namesake element, water – from its next-door proximity to Manila Ocean Park; to its location on the edge of Manila Bay; to its signature aquarium wall that adorns the inner guest rooms and grand ballroom; to the seafood specialties of its main F&B outlet, Makan Makan Asian Food Village; to the healing, negative-ion treatments of its wellness center, Zenyu Eco Spa. All these make Hotel H2O perhaps the most visually distinctive urban property in the country today.

Hotel H2O Manila Excellent Hotel for Families Thank you so much Hotel H2O for one of the best stays we had in a hotel. We love the hospitality and accommodation. My kids also super love the room- we were at the Aqua Supreme room. From booking, help over the phone - Ms. Maris, Ms Ella, concierge service to check in (Ms Kate, Ms Kaye) to the chef and staff of Makkan Makkan, to the excellent Spa service too - only there was no hot bed treatment available:( To the team who fed the fishes too when we requested. Thank you so much again for the warm welcome and for going the extra mile in making my daughter’s 5th birthday be memorable. More blessings and power to all of you po. We will be back in September or October 2023. Many thanks to all of you. Aimee

Perfect weekend getaway for couples. The room is very spacious and nice. The view is fantastic! It comes with a ticket for 2 in Manila Ocean Park, a welcome drink, and free breakfast buffet. Worth the money. Good experience. Would definately go back and highly recommend this place.

Hotel is located next to Manila Ocean Park. The reason I booked for this hotel is the room rate and to accommodate the number of our family. Though, I was not amazed with the hotel overall experience. From the drop off area, especially at night, I feel it is unsafe and not suitable. The ramp going to the main level is dark at night, no lights at all. Hotel hallways carpet has musty smell and smoking smell and looks dirty. Specially the rooms carpet, it is old, worn out and musty smell. One of the room we have, the in-room phone is broken and covered with full dust. The other room, ceiling has black stain or mildew build up from the AC condensation. My room closet door was broken. Dining options is not much on this hotel specially at night. You have travel outside to find some place to eat. It is ok hotel if you are looking something affordable but I would not recommend to have a good experience.

In the past 3 years worst experience we had was in this hotel. We booked the highest category suit room thinking to have a nice time. The first day was okay although there was very little pressure of water in the jacuzzi. The horror starts next day from the morning after we came back to our room, having our breakfast, the AC wasn't working properly. The room was sea facing and it was a hot day, first we gave it to the heat and sun facing room that it's taking time to cool but after an hour we complained about it to the reception, the technicians tried for several hours without any result. By that time our vacation already got spoilt, we asked for changing the room, to which, we came to know that's the only room in that category. Now we went for downgrading the category to escape the heat. The horror doesn't stop here, when the time came for refund, neither they gave us any compensation for what happened not they refunded the differential amount for the lower category room STRAIGHTAWAY which we were compelled to change. Moreover l had to chase up with them on email for reversal of my money (differential amount) for 1 and half months. After several mails that happened. I learned my lesson to never ever book the highest category rooms Cuz ppl don't generally book them so they are mostly unmaintained.

Front desk and concierge don't have propper communication. The fact that the front desk is far from concierge we advice them to prepare our luggage downstair in advance for us to pick up our things when we get back, we are on a hurry as we are running out late for meetings. After an hour we arrived at the lobby and they are just about to pick up our things. Addition to that lugagge upon arrival was delayed too. Rooms have small cockroach and lots of ants too. They should have pest control since infants and toddlers are staying in your hotel to.

Dear Mr. Kurtkevin, Thank you for your review. The hotel and Manila Ocean Park is in a process of upgrading of our facilities and the relocation of the Front Desk and Drop off area is something we are seriously considering to avoid further inconvenience in the future. Our sincerest apologies for the discomfort you experienced. With regards to the cockroach in your room, our Executive Housekeeper met with our pest control company provider to ensure that all areas are rigorously attended too in order to eradicate the possible recurrence of such a situation in the future. Best Regards, Arish Gonzales Asst. Front Office Manager

We stayed at deluxe bay room, i think all of what you think of is okay for me. Jacuzzi, view, spacious, etc., Down side is, you can hear the loud music from bar or resto, tv from other room. Need to have a white noise or just bring ear plugs if sensitive yung ears mo.

Stayed in a park view room. They advertised the check in time to be 2pm but when we got there at 230pm, the rooms were not ready yet and no apology on their part and was told to just sit down and wait. When we got to the room, electric plugs were not all working, some plugs were loose. The mini ref was not really working even after adjusting the thermostat, the drinks remained warm. In terms of service, it took a lot of time to get service. From the frontdesk, housekeeping and restaurant. When we dined in, the food arrived and the staff did not setup plates and utensils. They also do not serve service water and you had to still buy if you want water. We had to wait and the food got cold for them to provide plates and utensils. Pool was also not in a good location and it was really not maintained well. For a hotel that advertises itself as a luxury hotel, the experience was really not up to standard.
