Manila/Makati Hotels getting more pricey?

[blackcat22]

Anyone else noticed that Makati hotels charges per night stay have doubled since 2010?

For example in 2010 A.Venue Hotel near makati avenue was about £32 per night when I booked in 2010 similarly Picasso boutique hotel not far away have nearly doubled from about £38 to £78 in 2yrs.

I'm defo sure that other areas in manila have nearly doubled too in a short pace of time.

hhmm... I wonder if this is the barmy south east asia business mentality kicking in again, where if you lose half your customer, charge the remaining customers double price to make up the difference in drop in trade. Then as a result they lose even more customers and they go belly up and looking up to the sky wondering why.

As i'm heading out to manila this weekend so started looking up hotels and noticed the surge in prices in Hotels that I've enjoyed staying in the past.
