Casa Joaquin BnB, Manila  

If you want somewhere quiet, where you can work or unwind, away from the noise of Traffic, Tourists and Nightclubs, then you couldn't find a better place to stay !
If you want affordable, but also excellent Value for Money, then again you will struggle to find anywhere better.
Casa Joaquin's greatest asset, is also it's biggest problem !
It offers the weary traveller a quiet oasis in which to Relax, partly because it is located in a Quiet Residential District, some distance away from any busy parts of Manila. But because of this many taxi drivers have difficulty finding the place. Our Airport taxi driver couldn't even read the Map I had printed out for him, got lost, & after what felt like hours, charged me 1,000 Pesos !
All Credit to Casa Joaquin - after booking via Asia Rooms, they emailed me, warned me of this problem, and said if I gave them the Flight Number and Arrival Time, their car could collect us from the Airport and bring us straight there, for a charge of 500 Pesos.
The room was Comfortable and Clean, my only complaint being the lack of a TV in the room itself. There is a lounge with TV but that's not much good if you like to watch TV in bed..
Breakfast is included and was very good.
I've left the best till last !
Already I rate Casa Joaquin very highly, but where it truly excels is with the friendly and excellent service from the two ladies who Manage the establishment.
If you are going to Manila for Shopping and Night Life, then Casa Joaquin's remote location could be a problem, but if you want somewhere Clean, Comfortable & Quiet, with Excellent, Friendly Service, and outstanding Value for Money, then stay here.
Casa Joaquin had a few "surprises" up it's sleeve, and they were all nice ones !
Such as :- when we extended our stay we qualified for a free night per week booked.
Don't be put off by their low charges, because you do get quality service !
Would I stay here again ? ....... Definitely.
