We went for drinks in the bar which has great ambiance. Because virtually all of colonial money was destroyed bu Japanese forces at the end of the war, and also due to American bombardment and artillery, intramuros district provides a glimpse of how Manila looked like when it was one of the jewels in Spanish crown. We had Mai Thai which was expertly made and not too sweet which otherwise spoils this great cocktail.

Bad comunication: I send email before check in asking about Airport transfer and never got a reply, at check in didn't get any info. The hotel has some particular rules: wifi code need to be collect every day as electronic door key need to be validate every day too
Overpriced: 1 bottle of refill water a day, mineral water at 71 pesos for a small bottle (normal price between 10 and 25 pesos). Restaurant: bad food, slow service and expansive
Comfort/service: small and soft bed (linen and towels with holes), bad shower with no pressure and cold water. Old air conditioning. At check in: no liquid soap in dispenser (never refill even after asking), no electricity in 1 of the 2 plugs (fixed by maintenance), no light on the bed side table lamp, no toilet paper. Telephone NOT working. Filty and smelly fridge, impossible to save some water in it. Television with bad signal, channels impossible to be seen
Noisy: nearby Barbaras Restaurant (just few meters form our room) with live music every night. Hotel staff cleaning the corridor and listening music at 2 am
Overall: look for another place, not worth the money.
I have stayed at this hotel many times. I love the location and the warm feeling I get from the old architecture in this hotel: lots of wood and vintage tiles, reasonably spacious rooms, plush red carpeting on the stairs, etc. However, the rooms just keeps getting more and more run down. Torn towels and small tear in the bed sheet (not a problem). The shower had a mere trickle coming from the shower head. I asked to switch rooms since I was staying for three nights and they kindly obliged but the shower head in the new room only emitted 5 pencil rays of water. These are easy fixes but I get the sense the management does not really care to maintain what should be a jewel in the old city.
Like most of the hotels within Intramuros, White Knight is a bit expensive for its rooms for its tier. But they make up for it through their ever courteous staff. Rooms are clean when we arrived. But this hotel is usually booked by persons attending weddings so you might experience a bit of inconvenience from time to time. So far as I know, the hotel doesn't have its own parking space, to say the least, so you need to park your car at the surrounding lots which would fine you for a small fee.
We stayed there for a photoshoot in Intramuros but to my surprise, there’s no iron inside the room nor an ironing service even though it’s written as one of their services.
We stayed in the suite but was very disappointed. It’s so outdated, expensive and dirty. Staffs are friendly though but I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND STAYING HERE. It’s just not good value for money as there are other better alternatives having the same rate or better.
Apologies to have written this review but I feel responsible to share my experience with others. ☹️
We loved this quaint, pretty, Spanish Colonial-style hotel. It’s pretty old but super clean and has wifi and a restaurant, Surprisingly, it is actually affordable. Our room on the 2nd floor was quiet and comfortable, and the staff was awesome, especially Johnathan. It has all these cute little courtyards with lovely tropical plants. If you want to experience old Manila’s Intramuros, the walled city, the White Knight Hotel Intramuros is perfectly situated. It’s close to a lot of famous churches so just tell the taxi driver it’s near San Augustin.
