Hotel Sogo EDSA Harrison is a basic, budget-friendly property located in Pasay City, right off the EDSA. Rooms are plain and bland – some lack windows -- and equipped with just basic amenities like small flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are tiny and toiletries are not provided. A simple restaurant is open for all three meals and serves regional as well as international fare, plus room service is available. Beyond this, there’s not much more in terms of features. Overall, it’s an average choice for undiscerning budget travelers looking for cheap hotels in Pasay or those with flights to catch at the nearby airport, but it’s worth shopping around. The nearby Heritage Hotel Manila is a bit more expensive, but offers more features like a pool and fitness center, plus rooms are bigger and have more amenities.

Essentially an upscale airport hotel, the 342-room Manila Marriott Hotel is located within the Resorts World complex and caters to business travelers and well-heeled transit passengers passing through Ninoy Aquino International Airport. The cookie-cutter chain hotel rooms are expectedly upscale and comfortable, with deep soaking tubs and huge flat-screen TVs. Hotel features include six dining options, a small outdoor pool, extensive business features, an excellent fitness center, and full-service spa. The surrounding Resorts World complex is also home to a casino, dozens of restaurants and bars, a mall, and movie theaters. Rates are some of the steepest in Manila -- Maxims next door is one of the only hotels that's pricier -- and free Wi-Fi is limited.

The Kabayan is a decent budget option in Pasay, near the airport and public transport. Rooms are tiny and barebones, but rates are some of the most affordable around, and freebies such as Wi-Fi and a hearty Filipino breakfast add value. Probably the most outstanding feature here are the Japanese-style Kapsule Rooms, which offer more privacy than dorms and a unique experience (yet not one for claustrophobic travelers!). A cheap cafe serving up traditional Filipino cuisine, on-site parking, and airport transfer service (for a fee) is all there is in the way of amenities.

Opened in 2016, the 347-room Conrad Manila is a sleek, luxury property connected by walkways to the SM Mall of Asia and SMX Convention Center. It's ideally located both for business travelers and tourists, and views of the amusement park and bay are lovely from multiple vantage points. Rooms are swish and decorated in mostly neutral tones, featuring rainfall showers, smart TVs, and Nespresso machines. However, lower-category rooms lack tubs and Wi-Fi is only free for Hilton Honors members (though it's free to join). Excellent features include a high-end spa, outdoor pool with a bar, well-equipped gym, a well-reviewed international buffet restaurant, and Chinese eatery. Those looking for a similar stay closer to Manila’s historic center might want to check out the long-established Manila Hotel.

Located within the Resorts World complex, the all-suites Maxims Hotel is a luxury property catering to high rollers. The 172 rooms are spacious and equipped with upscale amenities such as interactive TVs with wireless keyboards, DVD players, and deep soaking tubs. Villas have private pools, kitchens, and massage cabins. Maxims has all the features expected of a high-end hotel, including a large pool with cabanas, several dining options, a spa, and a fitness center. Freebies include Wi-Fi, breakfast, shuttle service to the airport, and parking, but rates are some of the steepest in town. The neighboring Manila Marriott Hotel has similar amenities and more reasonable rates, though no casino.

For travelers interested in shopping at the SM City Mall of Asia, the mid-range Golden Phoenix Hotel Manila fits the bill, as it’s just across the street. It’s a modern hotel with 281 contemporary rooms that cover all the amenity basics from minibars to kettles, as well as plenty of hotel features like an outdoor pool and small gym. While the hotel provides most things any traveler might need, it feels a bit average in terms of style. The breakfast buffet offers Western and Asian cuisine, but it costs a fee, and the restaurant doesn’t receive rave reviews. There are also reports of slow Wi-Fi and cleanliness issues throughout. If a location closer to the city center is of importance, Ramada Manila Central is a good alternative with similar amenities (minus the pool).

Hotel Jen (formerly Traders Hotel) is an upscale business property located in northern Pasay, a few miles from the airport. Rooms are spacious and contemporary, with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and modern bathrooms. There are two solid (if slightly pricey) restaurants, two bars, a decent gym, and well-equipped meeting rooms -- but no full spa. The pool area is pleasant enough, with a small bar and a kiddy pool, but is in need of an update. The location right on Roxas Boulevard is convenient for moving around town, although heavy traffic is to be expected during rush hour, making the theoretically 20-minute drive to Makati and the historic center an hour-long trip at times.

The Heritage is an upper-middle-range business hotel that’s starting to show its age. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, but decor is a tad dated and bland overall, with blonde wood furniture and beige carpets and upholstering. There is a decent pool, a well-equipped fitness center, and a solid restaurant -- but the main draw for many guests is its location near the airport and the Mall of Asia, the largest shopping center in the country.

This Microtel is an average mid-range pick in Pasay, near the famous Mall of Asia. Its 150 rooms are clean and have all the basic amenities -- including mini-fridges and LCD TVs -- but are a little plain for the price. Hotel highlights include a lovely rooftop pool with striking Bay and sunset views, and a small restaurant offering an average international menu. However, many consider this hotel to be a little overpriced for what it offers. Plus, there is no free Wi-Fi available in the rooms.
