Every time an Agoda customer checks out of a hotel we send them an email asking them to write a review of their stay. This is the only way reviews can be submitted. Every review must then be approved by our content team before being posted on the Agoda website. Therefore, unlike many other travel sites, ALL Agoda reviews are certified and genuine.

Disappointed - did not get what I booked
4
I was flying into Manila late at night, catching a bus the next morning, so I booked a one night stop at Swagman for 3 reasons: 1)Free airport arrival transfer, 2) Free wifi, 3) A bus to Puerto Galera leaves from the hotel lobby (overpriced, but most convenient). In the end, #3 was all I received.
My free airport transfer never showed up. I bypassed the empty taxi queue and walked around for an hour looking for my pickup while the taxi queue had grew long. When I finally paid over 200 pesos to get a taxi and arrived well after midnight, I did not even get an apology from the staff. (Talking to guests later I found several others never got their transfer.)
They supposedly gave me a room upgrade. When the porter opened up my room, flipped the light switch and nothing happened, he looked confused as he flipped it a few more times, but then gave up, said, "Here ya go boss," handed me the keys and walked out. I sat in the dark and called the front desk, who moved me to another room. It was then I discovered, "we used to have wi-fi, but there was some problem with it, so we don't anymore." I went down to the lobby/restaurant where they claimed to have wi-fi, and attempted to get online and order overpriced dinner. No one ever asked if I wanted to order, which was fine, as the wi-fi didn't actually work anyway. In the end, I had to go behind the front desk and use their computer to send an important email and got a bite from the 7-11 on the corner.
The bus they operated the next morning to Puerto Galera was comfy on the way there, cramped on the way back, so that part was decent. But considering this dumpy hotel cost double what other dumpy hotels in the area cost (that I've stayed in), and only about $20-30 less than a few of the nearby quite decent hotels (that I've stayed in), I should've stayed elsewhere and taxied over to the bus in the morning.

Swagman: great place to jump off your PI stay
Good location, great food, travel services and packages
7.3
A little overpriced for the size and condition of the rooms, but the convenient travel services and good food overcome the issues with the rooms.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Travel agent services and bus/shuttle services are easy and relatively cheap.

Good stopping off place in Manila
Close to airport and Robinsons Mall
5.3
i have used this hotel many times it is a great place to stay for a night when coming and going from manila.
the thing i like most about staying at this hotel is the free airport pick up and drop off service. however on this trip my airport pick up was not there and i had to catch a taxi. this has happened to me twice now. come on swagman buck up. the last thing you want after a long flight is the hastle of finding a taxi and negotiating prices with the driver.
Nightlife Tip:
Very close to g point and the LA cafe also close to Robinsons Mall

the only negeative is that their hotel phone in the room is that U can only make local calls in Manila to land lines only.U can't even call a mobile # or any where else in the PI,and NO long distance!!!....Which I think for a hotel such as this not to have that today is really bad!!!
