The Swagman is a home away from home for many Australians visiting Manila and a must for first time visitors to meet and speak to longtime visitors and residents about travel tips. I have visited the Swaggy on numerous occassions but never stayed there until recently, when during typhoons Pedring and Quiel my regular accommodation was flooded, and what a... More

My family stayed here only for one night, thank goodness!!! We paid P3,400 for an Executive Room but got very disappointed with everything this hotel offers, except for the free airport transfer & the hot shower. We had to ask for towels and bath mat twice as the receptionist ignored our 1st request. The toilet was leaking!!! We had to... More

Good location, fair rooms but watch yourself. The taxi's outside are part of the Manila Taxi Mafia who refuse to use the meters, double the price of the fare, etc. The staff sells tickets to SWAGMAN Travel, SWAGMAN "Fly The Bus", etc but refuse to claim responsibility if something goes wrong. For example...I bought a Fly The Bus ticket for... More

Stayed here one night just for the airport transfer.,..never, ever again. What a dump. Got an economy room, and while you are never expecting miracles with anything economy, this would be the low end of the scale for budget backpackers, price was not economy, but the room sure was. Nearly every tile in the bathroom was broken or marked in... More

Do not bring your wife here! The majority of the clients here are older Aussie men, spending a night (or less) with very young Philippino women. I'm not passing judgement on this; but it's not a place to take your wife! We were here for lunch last year, and were impressed by the lobby. Decided to stay here for our... More

When they say Budget, they mean Budget. Bed bugs, noisy elevator, no towels, busted tiles in the bathroom, rooster outside, hookers on the corner at night, cancelled (guaranteed) reservations, and every other negative aspect mentioned in the other reviews were so true. The free airport pickup is so lame it's rediculous. If your worried about the $10 taxi ride from... More

Horrible hotel. Our guide pre-paid for 4 double rooms. They offered us a "family" room that sleeps five. No towels in any of our rooms. No problem extending our stay past checkout as they had hourly rates available, if you get my drift. Will never stay here again.

Went back to see if things had improved since my last visit and they hadn't. Booked a superior room which is described on the website as "RENOVATED", next morning I complained as it was obvious nothing had been done to the room since the 1980s, the receptionist moved me to another room which was much nicer. She explained that only... More
