    Would benefit from in room fridge (or make it optional) but totally fine for short stays

    The best hotel for your money, what a hidden gem of a hotel.

    So much to explore, so little time! Already looking forward to trying all the facilities next time. 🤣

    This place ticks all the boxes for business travelers: affordable rate, top-notch service & facilities, and a killer workspace. Plus, the vibe, room design, and overall feel are amazing!

    The bathroom door latch was not working. I had to use the toilet and take a shower with an open door. The drain at the shower was clogged. I had to stomp on the drainage hole (with stran) hard and several times to get rid of the clog. It worked.

    This hotel is really nearby my place of stay. I booked because of a no-wifi advisory in my condo. This hotel is superb! Staying there made me 10 years younger! Hahaha! Hip, trendy and cool. Love the colors! Comfy bed and a huge room. At the stunning roof deck is where you can have your food stuff be stored and prepared, a huge fully equipped kitchen and dining area is available there.

    The staff were amazing, so helpful and kind; the best hospitality! This is our second time staying at Lyf during our Philippines trip, our stay was very comfortable with everything we could need for a stopover in Manila. Great location close to airport and shopping mall. Very spacious and comfortable room, self-service laundry, a gym and communal area. We'd highly recommend Lyf to anyone starting or ending their Philippokes trip in Manila.

    The AC is extremely noisy, so bad for a new installation and remote didn't work all the time (same in 2 different rooms) The toilet seat was not cleaned properly and shower evacuations was not ok.

    Nice hotel, with great location (old town at 15/20min walking) and the Robinson mall if you want to buy things. A Starbucks is at the entrance for the breakfast. Staff is nice and helpful The room are nice, water fountain are available, a rooftop is available with a kitchen.

    We had a great time at Lyf Malate Manila! The property is very modern, with a lot of facilities and exceptionally clean. Also we felt really safe!  The most important thing is the kindness and the reactivity of all the members of the personnel. They made us feel more than welcome! They really deserve congratulations for their hard work. Special credits to Mr. Perry Lozano, who was very helpful with us! If we come back to Manila we will definitely choose again this place to stay.

    Delightful spot in Manila

    I really wish they had a bar. It was disappointing that there was no real onsite bar or even mini cafe to have some food or a drink after a long day. There is a Starbucks next door but wasn't really what we were looking for. The bathroom is really small and that would be my only complaint about the room. The place is a bit far out from the best spots in town but getting taxis was easy,

    I really loved how helpful the staff was and the two bedroom we stayed in was so spacious and comfy. There are also some really cool instagramable spots in the building for you to take photos. I stayed here twice in our stay so it's really great and affordable.

    Nothing.

    Four separate rooms with either queen bed or two single beds, 8 people can comfortably fit in. Two separate bathrooms, 4 separate sinks are so comvenient. The big dining table and fully equipped kitchen enabled us to have our gathering with food and drink easily. The whole flat is clean and neat, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The roof top is a surprise bonus, we had a blast singing karaoke there. There are many food options within walking distance. Another plus point is, check out time is 12pm.

    Surveillance cameras everywhere and in the room there is a „motion sensor“ (the receptionist explained) right above the bed which looks like a camera as well. Kind of scary

    New hotel. Nice staff. The offered us late checkout for free since our flight was scheduled early evening. Thanks for that

    No hot water for shower in my room. Communal area ironing is an inconvenience. Lack of drinking water in room is problematic. Night time location - told it can be dangerous to walk in the area.

    New and clean hotel with excellent decor. Concept of shared living is interesting to a point e.g kitchen, rooftop, ironing, laundry etc. Daytime location is minutes walking distance from Robinsons mall. Friendly staff especially Mr Tarrayo who was helpful and gave good advice. It has Has a nice gym.

    When I arrived the water heater was turned off, so there was no hot water. The AC however was set to 16 degrees, and the room was actually that cold. It was freezing in there. There was a dog sniffing my luggage prior to check-in. You also don't check-out immediately. They also check-up on you if you've left the DND sign on the door.

    The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space. Everything was clean and tidy and the weird layout with all those pipes sticking out is actually extremely comfortable.
