Hi
We have to spend 3 nights in Manila soon, and wifey to be is insistent that staying at the Copacabana is a good idea. She says it's near the airport, near Mall of Asia etc, and it's not a too long taxi ride to the embassy which we have to visit early the following day.
Well, looking on tripadvisor (I know it's full of fake reviews, but take it as an average and it's still good), it's a different story.
Very hard beds, like a prison, tired, very noisy from outside - roads and some sort of nightclub etc.
Missus to be though insists she has stayed there loads of times when she had to go to Manila, and it's good, it isn't noisy.
For the price (It's not THAT expensive, but all the same for £40 a night I'm sure I can find something better, and neither of us are into swanky hotels), well I don't know.
The clincher seems to be the journey to the embassy the following day, but taxis aren't that expensive - are they?
Just wondered if anyone has any experience, because tripadvisor is frankly shocking about this place, and the thought of three days there.
Course, I could just go ahead and book elsewhere, but seriously, if I did that, and the other place turned out to be a dump, then I just know I'd never hear the last of it. Years down the line....................well!
