been staying here since the 90s when it was holiday inn. for last close to 20 yrs been coming back for main reasons : close to airport, inexpensive, great health spa. some 5 yrs ago it was renovated to look more upscale but the rooms are somewhat old. staff usually friendly and fast. i stay in traders club floors and... more

Stayed here for a week - both in a standard room and then upgraded to a suite. Hotel is pretty basic and could do with some refurbishment. Staff were always nice although the receptionists weren't totally gifted in the cranial area. Rooms were clean and functional. Cerainly Ok for the business traveller - having said that next time I have... more

My recent stay in your hotel TRADERS MANILA...was nothing but disaster. I've been to hundreds of hotels and therefore know what service to expect. BAD SERVICE was all i got. The receptionists were mean and condecending to one of my muslim colleagues. Not giving proper respect to her title of Doctor and just calling her by name is just one... more

Very nice place in a central location. The service here was excellent, the rooms were clean and well appointed. We didn't try the house dining options, but they looked very very good. It's a short drive to the historic part of the city and a very short drive to the huge 'mall of asia'. Also close by are the Cultural... more

Stayed there many times and have never been disappointed. Great views! The rooms are also clean and spacious. OK, drainage may play up now and again (when you're having a shower), but that can't be blamed on the hotel. Staff are most courteous without being servile. 10/10 for these guys. Great location for the Cultural Centre/Marina/restaurants and a leisurely stroll/fast... more

I will never stay at Traders Hotel again! The hotel has a mildew smell and mildew on some areas of the hotel as well. The bathtubs were clogged and had rust around the metals. My children even found roaches on the walls. The hotel lobby is swarming with prostitutes waiting for business men. The staff was very friendly and accommodating,... more

I have been to the Philippines six times now. I have stayed every where from Baguio to Mindanao, and I usually can say good things about all accomodations I have stayed at..except for this one. First off the room..no light bulbs in two lamps, towels frayed at the edges as if they were 10yrs old, the phone in the room... more

Manila is not my favourite city, so finding a reasonable hotel can be difficult. Once you arrive at the Traders, you can be taken in by the impressive foyer with efficient and friendly check-in. Once past the foyer, reality strikes! For you are in a 1970s-built hotel with poor quality construction and equally poor finishes. The rooms smelt damp and... more

We normally stay in mid-range (3* & 4*) hotels when we travel. Having read most reviews for Manila on the TA site and noticed that many 3* hotels got mixed reviews , we thought it would be better that we spend a little extra for a 4* hotel, hence our choice of Traders. I must say we are disappointed. We... more
