The Extra Good:

I really liked the location of Casa Nicarosa. You are within easy walking distance to Manila Bay which has amazing sunsets, some local eateries with great prices as well as a short cab ride away from the main tourist sights of Manila.

The Extra Bad:

The price was a bit steep for the area. I found out that I could have stayed at nicer places for the same price, but they didn't have online availability so I couldn't book them.

Final Thoughts:

Casa Nicarosa was a good place, minus the somewhat steep price. The staff were friendly, rooms clean and the hotel was secure. If they lowered the prices a couple of dollars, then it would have been a great stay.
