Kabayan Hotel Pasay

Entrance looked grand. Location is good only for converter to the airport. It is in a run down area of Manila. At check in they want to upgrade us from our booking to the new section of the hotel, but the news rooms didn't have a refrigerator. So we stayed in the older section. It looked good until we got into the room. It was dirty at light switches and the AC, the shower had mold in it. The refrigerator was unplugged. The furniture was peeling it's finish, wall paper had small tears in it. The cable TV was limited and the picture was horrible, had snow all over it. The shower had mold in the grout lines and everything was antiquated. There was hot water and the bed was comfortable. The AC worked but was an old square window type and noisey They didn't have an ice machine so if I wanted to have a couple of cocktails before dinner I had to go to the dining room to get a small bucket. We were very disappointed in the breakfast. We expected a buffet and were given a menu with 4 selections. You could have rice or white bread, one egg and a choice of meat or pork. We went with the pork and it was so so. If you wanted a small plate of watermelon it was an additional 80 pesos. There is no bar or lounge. Never saw a swimming pool. They did help arrange for a taxi van to the airport. The people that work at this hotel are very polite and helpful. Dinner is all filipino food and good for the most part. I recommend the ceveche and calamari appetizers. I do not recommend the beef Kari Kari unless you like beef fat in peanut sauce. I was very disappointed in this dish of food

The hotel is strategically located near to the NAIA terminal 3. Easy for us to catch up the next morning flight to Boracay. Just 15 minutes away.

This is our second time to book a room at this hotel but this time it is a bit longer. And thank God we got a nice room where there is a queen l-sized bed and a bathtub. I also like that there mirrors on almost each side of the room. The tv does not have Netflix though so, we used our own account and device to watch series during our chill time. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a very welcoming environment from the staff.
