This is a nice budget-range option in Manila, well located in Ermita. Rooms are large and clean, but lack atmosphere. Basic breakfast at the adjacent coffee shop. The staff is very friendly and helpful!

I specifically chose Casa Bocobo for its proximity to Luneta. I need such space for my long-distance endurance run training which Luneta has consistently provided. Well, not only did I get an awesome distance to Luneta, but I also experienced the efficiency of its people, a nice-sized room, and good breakfast. It honestly made me feel I was at home than staying in a hotel.
Upon arrival was greeted by a porter who knew we were weary travelers hand carried our luggage to our room. Our room was spotless and had a fridge and kettle for making coffee. There was a restaurant downstairs with delicious world class and affordable food for all tastes. There was even live music which was very pleasant. In the morning there was a complimentary breakfast for al 3 of us with brewed coffee. This place even has it's own airport shuttle which beats the price of the taxis and all with a smile and calling us sir and ma'am. I cannot speak highly enough about this hotel. When traveling to Manila I highly recommend it. It's a little further from the airport but within comfortable walking distance to malls convenience stores travel agents and nightlife if you're into that
it’s affordable and near the US embassy, St Lukes and CFO office. I would love to recommend it others who are applying for a US visa. The staffs are friendly, rooms are clean and the food at the restaurant is yummy yummy. Love to come with my hubby for the third time.
I always do my review by Criteria/Category and everything about this hotel is amazing!
Rating 5/5 ⭐️
LOCATION ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very Central location. Robinson’s Place Ermita is a few minutes walk. There’s a 24/7 convenience store just a few steps from the hotel front door. There are a lot of Restaurants/Food places nearby. It is right in front of Rizal Park and Intramuros is a few minutes away. A lot of other tourist destinations are also just a few minutes away by foot or by car.
STAFF ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Everyone — from the guard, the front desk, the housekeeping, the cafe staff, everyone! They are all very warm and hospitable. I cannot stress this enough. The staff in this place really are very pleasant and surely underwent proper training.
LOBBY ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The lobby is cold and smells really great — which I love! There are computers in the lobby but I’m not sure if it’s free coz I didn’t have time to use it or ask about it. It feels very relaxing and cozy!
ROOM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wasn’t really expecting anything but the room is very clean and spacious! The bathroom is also very clean and the towels, although are not that white anymore, it doesn’t really look old. There’s also a full body mirror which is great to check out your OOTDs. The room smells great and there’s a window in the room which is a plus coz it doesn’t feel suffocating.
FOOD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wasn’t able to eat my free breakfast for the second day but I am very satisfied with what they served on the first day. There’s an additional ~₱20 if you ask them to put it in a take out box (Which I personally think is ok because I think you also have the option to put it in a regular paper bag). The servers are also very accommodating and kind.
PRICE ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For everything that I’ve mentioned, the price for this hotel is NOT BAD. In fact, it’s very worth it. I paid around ₱2,000+ per night for the Standard King room and I was very satisfied and I felt my money’s worth.
OVERALL ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think the only thing that’s “off” is that there’s no elevator, but it’s actually really ok. There are people on standby to help guests with luggage/s to and from the room. I was really impressed with this hotel. I would definitely recommend it to others and I would definitely come back.
Good Job!!!
