    It was flooding when i checked in there so it was hard for me to get a taxi or book grab but they cannot do anything about it. I just hope they can assist with booking an emergency or urgent transportation especially for clients traveling to the Airport. There’s no Hotel Restaurant or Bar

    Clean, comfy bed, staff were helpful and accommodating.

    it would be great to have a microwave in rooms

    a really comfortable place to stay. my husband and i stayed here for 2 weeks and it was the best place we lived in manila. the room was comfy and well equipped with almost everything needed. there were even a working place what was really convenient for my husband. as for me, i worked in co-working space or at starbucks located at the same building. the hotel has everything you need for comfort staying - water dispensers, mugs, shampoo+conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste and even a smart tv with streaming services. on the second floor there’s a gym, co-working area and washing/drying machines. on the roof you can find places to chill and cook anything. the staff was really friendly and welcoming, they always helped me to solve all the issues and the room cleaning ladies are always who can cheer up for the whole day. a massive thank you for every single person working here. if i come to manila again i would definitely stay here!

    No telephone inside the room so every time we needed something such as additional toilet paper, we either had to call the hotel using our mobile phone or go down the front desk

    Contemporary design of the room, water dispenser was available in each floor

    Not Perfect, But Friendly & Clean Hotel w/Attached Starbucks.

    My big issue - the room had no mini-refrigerator and I had to use the water dispenser near the elevators to fill up. Manila is hot and this is simply not acceptable. Another strange thing is that the room service knocks on the door regardless of the "do not disturb" sign. Also, the AC was noisy and the TV channels were boring.

    The hotel is clean and tidy with a Starbucks on the ground floor. Although very close to the red light zone of Manila, the location is great - just a ±15-minute ride from Makati, the Baywalk, Santiago Fort, and SM Mall of Asia. The staff is always helpful and you have a nice gym and co-working space. The WiFi was good.

    When we came to check in we were 20 minutes early. It's ok that early check-in wasn't possible, but the staff wouldn't allow us to sit inside the building. We were told to leave and go to the mall and not come back for at least 30 minutes. Really weird experience. We ALWAYS rate things 10 stars, but I just can't in this case..... We were only staying for 6 hours before a flight.

    Love the Lyf style hotels. We stayed at one in Cebu so we decided to stay at Lyf in Manila.... Not sure if we regret it.
