Red Planet Manila Binondo
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a clean, cheap base in Binondo within walking range of Intramuros and Chinatown. Skip it if you need space to spread out or hotel extras, as rooms are compact and the facility list is short.

Budget travellers who spend their days out exploring are the clearest fit. The reference price was €27.73 a night, 63% below the sample median of €74.83, and guests rate the place 8.2 out of 10 across 2,081 reviews.
The property lists free parking and family rooms, which helps road-trippers and families on a tight budget. It also tags itself as pet friendly, though the terms are not confirmed.
Look elsewhere if you want a pool, a gym or a restaurant on site. None of these appears in the data. Travellers with large suitcases or long stays may find the compact rooms limiting.
Location and getting around
The hotel sits at 251-61 Juan Luna Street, Binondo, with a location score of 8.5. Guests say Chinatown and Intramuros are within walking distance and point out a convenience store next door.
San Agustin Church in Intramuros is about 1 km away, roughly 13 minutes on foot. Rizal Park is about 1.8 km, around 23 minutes. Malacañang Palace is about 2.2 km, close to 28 minutes. All three are walkable on paper, but heat and traffic can make a taxi the easier choice.
These walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
Cleanliness earns the most praise. Reviewers describe tidy, modern and well-kept spaces, with spotless floors and bathrooms.
Location is the second strong point, mainly for the walk to Chinatown and Intramuros and the shop next door.
The weak spot is room size. Rooms are compact and short on storage. Many guests still call them cosy and functional, so this is more of a heads-up than a deal-breaker.
Price and what you get against our other Manila picks

Why it made our top 3
We compared 18 eligible properties in Manila. This one had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale pick was set aside, which earns it the Budget slot.
Its score of 8.2 places it 14th of 18 by review score, so it is not the best-rated hotel in town. It is a solid score for the price, backed by more than 2,000 reviews.
