Swagman Hotel -- Stay or Nay?
free shuttlel to/from airport, friendly staff, close to nightlife
7
I was traveling to Manila on business. Since this was my first trip, I wanted to make it easy on myself to get to the hotel. So the free shuttle pick-up from the airport was a big appeal.
I had read some blogs that said how some new travelers to Manila had bad experiences with the taxi. Since I was arriving after a 13 hour flight at 3:30 am, I expected to be in mental and physical condition to haggle with the taxis.
Before boarding my flight from SFO, I sent an email to the Swagman hotel staff confirming my flight schedule. I let them know what time I would land.
When I arrived, they had a staff member waiting for me outside the arrival terminal with my name on a placard. They even announced my name on the intercom because I was a little late exiting the airport. This was a positive experience.
The ride from the airport to the hotel took about 20 minutes since there was very little traffic this early in the morning.
My room was ready for me when I arrived at about 5 am. Their was not hassle about early check-in.
I had coffee in the hotel dining room. Their was free wi-fi. The coffee is excellent by the way -- fresh brew from an expensive coffee machine. I ended up having 2 cups.
The deluxe room was pretty modest. I stayed on the 7th floor where their is an atrium and skylight.
There is a shower, Western toilet, and single sink. There is no bathtub in my room. They also don't provide you with a hair-dryer or shampoo so bring your own.
The bed is fairly comfortable. There is a vanity area with chair and mirror. I had a red futon which was comfortable.
The TV had basic channels. The TV sat on top of the mini-fringe.
The floor was vinyl.
There is a buffet breakfast in the morning. They served traditional Filipino food and Western items like sausage, potatoes, and eggs. You can have your egg prepared to order.
As a guest, the buffet was greatly discounted so it made for a cheap meal.
Overall, I was happy with the experience. I w

Better among the average hotels
7.3
I was satisfied staying in this hotel. Very economical and
good food available here. Best part was that I was picked up from the Airport by the hotel staff and also dropped back
after the check out.Staff is very friendly and they give quick
service. Taxies are easily available outside the hotel.
Would like to stay again whenever I am in Manila.

swagman -the good the bad and the ugly
excellent airport transfer service
pleasant staff
good restaurant easy access to ermita nightlife

Swagman is an economy class hotel with lots of good features but is badly organised with regards to room cleaning ( so many traineees not allowed to clean rooms!) and I wonder about cleanliness as the cockroaches are enormous and climb walls (and even in beds?? - I worried about that!).
However I would recommend it to the economy traveler but make sure you don't get the cellar rooms - it has no windows!)
Nightlife Tip:
make sure u only use main roads as in back streets u may be robbed. Make sure u never use unauthorised moneychangers especially if a boy on the street stops you and takes you to one.

普通だが、送迎つきの迎えはオカマで挨拶なしに目つきで乗れと指示、後は携帯やりっぱなし

空港に送ってもらったとき、航空会社を聞いてきたので
フィリピン航空と答え、ドライバーにも念をし、降りる際にも
再度フィリピン航空はここか？と聞いたら「YES」と言いやがった。
結果は余裕を持って搭乗しようとしたらフィリピン航空はターミナル２だ
と教えてもらい、行きかたを尋ねると遠いからタクシーと言われた。
結局、間に合ったがずっと走らされ預け荷物も全て着ない持込になった。
部屋は狭いし、暗いし二度と使わない
