We found Mabini Mansion due to the urgent need of a place to stay. Searching online for the cheapest rate around Malate area, we decided to give this hotel a try. It's one of the few that's below Php2000. We skipped Tune Hotels Ermita as we've stayed there already. Mabini Mansion Deluxe Room goes for around Php1680 per night, no breakfast. |
Too bad the photos from their website looks nothing like the real thing, but those were the exact photographed locations. Must be the lighting and tons of editing. |
After paying and sorting your room at the concierge, an attendant will accompany you to your room. Corridor is bit outdated. Got me quite confused whether I see dirt or just old stuff. |
Still using the sturdy standard key for rooms. |
Kitchenette. Came in handy actually. Complete with utensils, plates, pans, knives, etc.. Everything is accounted for and will be checked before you get cleared to go. |
TV, bathroom, closet, kitchen |
Kitchen drawer. Don't mind the peeled paint. Kitchen counter is granite. |
Make sure to run utensils under hot water before use. I'm glad they used soft lights, made the place look cozy. |
Twin beds. Don't ponder too much on the sheets' cleanliness. It may or may not be newly washed. You'd never know with the color. But everything was in order. No bugs or roaches. |
Hot water works, which was great. Full-on tiled wall. |
Lavatory counter with mirror. No bidet. Complimentary soap and toiler paper roll. |

Sinigang na Baboy: Php330 This is just 1 order, but they split it in 2 large bowls. I appreciate their quantity, definitely for sharing. The chilis, calamansi, and fish sauce were complimentary. |
- Location-wise, it's perfect. Out the door, straight to hailing jeepneys going downtown Manila. Or walk a few steps to UN Avenue where there are restaurants, banks, spas; and about 2 blocks walk to Robinsons Mall and Roxas Boulevard (other direction).
- Service is good. Staff are polite and prompt, no grumpy faces.
- The hotel itself has been renovated, but I vote for modernization. Anyway, it's great for 1-2 nights stay.
