Sure the neighborhood could use an overhaul but the Diamond Hotel in Manila is a great place. The people that work here couldn't be more helpful and you can tell that their friendliness is genuine and not fake. If you're working out of the embassy for any length of time, the Diamond Hotel is the way to go.

i am a 3rd yr HRM student from a respective college..we've experience so much comfortable, relaxing and refreshing..the scenic in the bay was very great..the place was really solemn in nighttime..the price are very reasonable because of its great accommodation..the buffet service was really great..and the place was really accessible..hope to experience my on the job training in this hotel:)

Everyone is very polite, the buffet is pretty good and the hotel is somewhat overpriced and rundown.

There's a whorehouse across the street above/behind the coffee shop. The bomb searches are a little different as are the guards across the street with machine guns.

The beach is probably the most filthy and polluted one I have ever seen. ...

A very very nice and comfortable hotel...
The best hotel ive ever been to..
WOW..
Inspite of the rates..it is worth the price..
i recommend you to stay here

The rooms are in excellent shape. Bathrooms are up to date. Beds were standard size and did not smell. My family enoyed our stay. The only thing that needs improved is it would be nice if American Filipinos with family ties still in the Phillipines could be charged the local fee rather than the non local fee for rooms. But all in all we enjoyed our visit to Manila and the Diamond Hotel.

The Manila Diamond Hotel is over priced by American Standards, $125per night. It needs to drop the price on rooms and commit to the fact that middle class american tourists with families with family ties to the Phillipines do not want to be overcharged for rooms that have standard sized beds, a bath, tv and small fridge.

Its expensive to travel to the Phillipines. While I am there visiting family, I do want to pay American prices. We were charged American prices for a over priced room which was on the small side. While I admit, the service was good and we found an excellent Japanese eatery and Seafood eatery nearby one of the best things in traveling is being able ...
