Plaridel hotel rooms a the Independent

"The room was quiet and very accessible to the Mall"

"This is a nice hotel right in old Manila. That means narrow roads, foot and vehicular traffic with hit and miss sidewalks, crowded, chaotic with people from various walks of life. It’s right beside Binondo church (Dominican 1596) and it’s the “first Chinatown” across the river from Intramuros which is the Spanish colonial fort. The modern infrastructure like electricity and communications can be seen to be retrofitted as times modernized; these were the first models of lessons learned in the present urbanization playbook. In many ways the place is frozen in time and for me, that’s the charm."

"Staff very professional and polite; rooms are kept clean and tidy; casino has a variety of options."

"The hotel is consistently high quality in facilities and service."

"Breakfast was ok but I have seen and tasted better. Staff service made it up. They were very hospitable. "

"This place is recommended"

"Excellent service, great location."

"Strange entrance being joined to the mall, but a cool location! It's a nice safe place to visit Binondo and close to all the shopping areas. The room was quite big and had everything. The room layout felt like a big suite"

"Wonderful stay and near restaurants. The rooms were clean and staff very courteous and friendly "
