3-Star Hotels in Metro Manila, Philippines

I recently stayed at Kabayan Hotel with my girlfriend for two nights, and we booked a standard twin room. The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with comfortable beds that helped us rest well throughout our stay. Even though it was a twin setup, it still worked fine for the two of us and didn’t feel too cramped. The amenities were simple but functional, and everything we needed was provided. Housekeeping kept the room tidy during our stay, which we appreciated. The staff were friendly, approachable, and always ready to help, making our overall experience smooth and hassle-free. For a two-night stay, it was definitely comfortable and convenient. I’d gladly stay here again in the future.

The biggest highlight is the location. It’s right across from NAIA Terminal 3 via the Runway Manila bridge, which made arrival and departure incredibly stress-free. Being within Newport World Resorts also meant easy access to restaurants, cafes, and entertainment options without needing to travel far. The room was clean and well-maintained. It’s not very spacious, but it had everything needed for a short stay: a comfortable bed, strong air conditioning, and reliable Wi-Fi. Housekeeping was consistent throughout the stay. Service was efficient and polite. Staff were helpful, especially with check-in and basic requests. Overall, it’s a great choice for a short stay, layover, or business trip, especially if proximity to the airport is a priority.

Good place and safe . An excellent customer service very helpful for a person whose flight is too early in the morning to request for Rhianna’s breakfast to be packed . Perfect swimming pool for senior and kids are separated. Thanks and highly recommended why? Breakfast buffet is perfect so many selection . Try it and you will be satisfied!

My 4 night there was so great, if you book there make sure to get the higher floor the sunrise and the sunset was so great, the swimming pool thats amazing always clean. The front guard I don't know his name but he is the one who accommodate me when I first arrived the he is so welcoming, not like the other guard hahaha

Location to PITX (and thus, airport) is so convenient. Pool is nice, just check the times its operating. (Same as with the Gym) As for the room, its mostly nice apart from the TV being all-mandarin (use a dongle if you want youtube!), Wifi randomly dropping at times (and the 5G band being extremely unreliable), aircon remote randomly not working, some paint job being chipped away at the far side of the room beside the balcony, and the shower ceiling randomly having a temporary cardboard job. Service was nice, though I highly recommend buying some airtime to your number, as you either need that or doing the whole song and dance of going to the lobby and back up, and as with me having others in my journey meant that I always ask the security to tap his card to get back to my floor. Speaking of security, there’s a baggage scanner installed near the elevator lobby, so be mindful of that. I chose the option with no food, so we went instead to a hot pot restaurant at the ground floor. There’s also some parking outside. City Center Executive is part of the whole Imperial Plaza Residences complex, so on top of everything that I mentioned in this review, be extra mindful of the residents and try not to bother them.

The hotel is located in a commercial area, with a mall on the lower four floors, which is very convenient for shopping and dining. The environment is excellent, and the service is also good. The rooftop pool is very clean, and in the evening, you can enjoy the breeze and have a drink up there.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how exceptionally clean and well-maintained the hotel was. Every area—from the lobby to my room—was spotless and inviting. What truly made my stay memorable, though, was the warm hospitality of the staff. Everyone greeted me with genuine smiles, was attentive to my needs, and went out of their way to make me feel welcome. Their professionalism and kindness created a comfortable, home-like atmosphere. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable stay with outstanding customer service. I would gladly stay here again.

I was satisfied with my stay in these apartments: convenient location to the SM Asia shopping center, very clean, everything you need for a comfortable stay is available, also a guarded area, a wonderful swimming pool with recreation areas.

Everything works fine except the room availability, which is subject to admin limited capacity to accommodate requests. Appreciate that some rooms are not available. It happens. It would be nice to set expectations before guests arrive or even before they book the room. This way they may be able to strategise and consider the possibilities. The photos are helpful as well. This I and other guests depend on heavily. My case is that non,smoking with window room is non-negotiable due to health restrictions. Thanks to the staff for understanding and assisting during the stay.

Family and friends group trip, the hotel was great. The reception staff were super helpful, carrying our bags to the room at check-in and collecting them from the room at check-out. It's ten minutes from the airport and has a good location; just a minute's walk to restaurants, McDonald's, and a pharmacy. I recommend it.
