Savoy Hotel Manila near Airport NAIA Terminal 3 MNL  ★★★★
"We stayed at Savoy Hotel for a couple of days. The staff were very accommodating, and the breakfast was good, though it could use more drink options. The location is convenient, as it is close to malls, restaurants, fast food outlets, convenience stores, and the airport."

Belmont Hotel Manila near NAIA Terminal 3 MNL ★★★★
"I stayed here for a layover, and the location is unbeatable, literally a 5-minute walk to NAIA Terminal 3 via the covered walkway, which saved me from Manila traffic hell. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and my room was clean with a really comfortable bed. Bathroom was a bit small, but fine for a short stay. Breakfast buffet had good variety, but I had to wait in line for a table during peak hours. Perfect for transit or early flights. Not a luxury resort, but convenient, clean, and great value for what it offers. I'd stay again if I have a flight to catch."

Stone House Hotel Manila ★★
"I stayed at Stone House Manila for a one-day transit before heading back to my country, and overall it served its purpose well. The location is very convenient, especially for a short stay. It’s close to key spots like , , and Robinsons Place Manila, making it easy to grab food, do a bit of last-minute shopping, or just take a quick walk to relax before the flight. The room itself was simple and basic. It’s not luxurious, but it was clean enough for a short rest. The air-conditioning worked fine, and the bed was comfortable enough for a quick overnight stay., for a short transit stay, it’s a good budget option — convenient, affordable, and practical. I would consider staying again if I just need a quick place to rest before a flight."

Bayprime Hotel ★★★★
"I chose to book this hotel again primarily because of its convenient location near my travel site. However, I believe the pool services could be improved by ensuring that towels are readily available to guests. On my final day, I received a call from reception at approximately 11:30 a.m. Since I was not expecting any calls, I did not answer. A second call followed at 11:45 a.m., which I then answered. The purpose of the call was to provide an “early reminder for checkout.” While this initiative may be considered a courteous gesture, it would be more appropriate if such reminders were offered only to guests who have opted in to receive them. Otherwise, a reminder call placed after 12:00 p.m. would serve its intended purpose more effectively, as it would then address overdue checkouts."

Their breakfast is quite varied and nutritious with plenty of choices. The breakfast area is organised as a street with vendors, mirroring the differentiated offer."
