Amazing place.
It's a love hotel that could actually work as a stopover if you're ready to experience Manila as it truly is. I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness: no insects in the room, no dirt, and a clean jacuzzi, which isn't always the case even in more expensive hotels in Moscow. One of the hotel staff, a gecko, clearly protected us from insects!
However, the bathrooms definitely need fixing. The pipes on both floors are leaking, which has led to a persistent puddle of stagnant water that never dries up.
The mattress was firm, perhaps too much so for our liking. And the stairs are quite steep, which might not be comfortable for everyone.
The hotel staff were generally friendly; I'm sure they would have been willing to help if needed, but we didn't have any issues. However, no one took the initiative, so over our three-day stay, we weren't even offered fresh towels or trash removal, which was a bit disappointing.
The location is convenient because it's close to the airport (this was a big draw for us, as we only had two days in Manila). But on the other hand, stepping outside the hotel plunges you into the surrounding poverty: markets, homeless people. In the evenings, it felt a bit uncomfortable getting around without a taxi. I'd recommend taking a taxi every time you return after sunset.
And yes, being close to the airport means plane noise day and night, so be prepared for that.
All in all, my wife and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel, and we might even consider returning next time.

The room was excellent for the price of £27 for a day .
The room is clean and comfortable to stay ,staff are friendly and very accommodating. Near the airport.Highly recommended for the travelers.
The room is huge. It even has a karaoke inside. The jacuzzi never failed me. Used it 4 times in a 24hrs stay. The bed is huge and the food tastes really good.
The toilet flush is a bit weak. For the lightings, your option is either to have all lights in the bedroom on or off. No option to just turn on a lamp.
But my overall stay is worth it.
Our stay at Victoria Hillcrest Hotel was very pleasant. The location is convenient and peaceful, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The staff were very accommodating and always ready to assist, which made our stay even more comfortable. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind and enjoy a quiet getaway.
