Hotels in Pasay: Where to Stay Between the Bay, the Mall and NAIA

Pasay is the part of Metro Manila most travellers pass through rather than plan around. The airport spreads across it and neighbouring Paranaque, the Mall of Asia complex fills its bayfront, and the road to the cultural venues runs along its western edge. Picking a hotel means picking which pocket of the city to wake up in.

Rates start at PHP 1,305 a night and reach PHP 5,605. The ladder does not run from cheap to good in a straight line. The lowest prices and the strongest guest scores both sit in the Mall of Asia district, while the two most expensive rooms in the table are four-star airport hotels.

Best Hotels in Pasay

The surprise when you sort by price is the condotel entries. GemstoneBR in SMDC Shore 2 Residences carries an 8.9 from more than 900 reviews at PHP 1,516, the strongest score-to-sample ratio in the table; its sibling on Roxas Boulevard, GemstoneBR in SMDC Coast Residences, is a point behind at PHP 1,372. Both are apartment units with a kitchen rather than serviced hotel rooms, so you trade front-desk service for space.

The middle of the ladder is where the conventional hotels sit. Golden Phoenix Hotel Manila gives four stars and an 8.3 from more than 1,100 reviews for PHP 2,869. Hotel101 - Manila at PHP 1,718 is the standardised option inside the Mall of Asia Complex, with a queen bed, a single bed and a kitchenette in every unit.

Two entries need reading with care. Hotel Avelon shows a perfect 10 from three reviews, so the score proves nothing yet; the PHP 1,593 rate is the reason to look. Mall of Asia Pasay Staycation is the cheapest room at PHP 1,305 and the weakest score at 7.1 from five reviews. On the airport side, Savoy Hotel Manila near Airport NAIA Terminal 3 MNL and Belmont Hotel Manila near NAIA Terminal 3 MNL both score 8.8, but Savoy holds more than 3,800 reviews against 2,600 and asks PHP 4,309 against PHP 5,605.

Where to Stay in Pasay: Neighbourhoods by Trip Type

The districts that hold almost every Pasay hotel answer three different questions, and the price gap between them is wide enough to matter.

Mall of Asia (MOA) Area suits first trips: shopping, concerts and seaside walks inside one complex. The band runs from PHP 1,305 for a staycation unit to PHP 11,026 at Conrad Manila, with Hotel101 and Golden Phoenix in the middle.

Newport City wraps around NAIA Terminal 3 and suits stopovers, casino nights and airport access. Prices start at PHP 4,309 at Savoy and climb to PHP 12,418 at Hotel Okura Manila at Newport World Resorts, with Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts at PHP 9,568 between them.

Cultural Pasay and Roxas Boulevard is the older bay strip: museum hopping, bay views and local food. Its band is the narrowest, PHP 1,967 at Selah Garden Hotel Manila to PHP 2,811 at The Heritage Hotel Manila, with Midas Hotel and Casino on the same stretch.

Two budget belts sit outside those districts. Libertad and Taft Avenue are the cheap end, close to LRT stations, and EDSA-Pasay Rotonda is a transit hub with bus terminals and MRT access nearby.

Popular Areas to Book Hotels in Pasay

Mall of Asia Area

This is the widest band in the city, PHP 1,305 to PHP 11,026. At the bottom, the staycation units and Hotel101 give you the complex without a bay premium. In the middle, Citadines Bay City Manila at PHP 7,687 adds a pool, a kids' play area and kitchenettes. At the top, Conrad Manila at PHP 11,026 sits above S Maison with direct access to SMX and the arena, and Lanson Place Mall of Asia Manila at PHP 9,770 offers serviced apartments for a longer stay. Choose Citadines with children, Hotel101 without.

Newport City

The band is PHP 4,309 to PHP 12,418, and the logic is terminal first. Savoy and Belmont are the practical stopover hotels. Holiday Inn Express MANILA NEWPORT WORLD RESORTS by IHG at PHP 4,443 is the cheapest room in the complex; Hilton Manila Newport World Resorts at PHP 9,568, Manila Marriott Hotel at Newport World Resorts at PHP 9,664, Sheraton Manila Hotel at Newport World Resorts at PHP 8,964 and Okura at PHP 12,418 form the five-star tier. For one night before a flight, Savoy is the sensible booking. For a weekend with a pool before a flight, Okura is worth pricing.

Cultural Pasay and Roxas Boulevard

The tightest band, PHP 1,967 to PHP 2,811. The Heritage Hotel Manila is the classic pick, with a casino and the Cultural Center of the Philippines nearby. Selah Garden Hotel Manila is cheaper, garden-themed with an outdoor pool. Midas Hotel and Casino sits between them but shows no nightly rate, so compare it directly.

Hotels Near Popular Attractions in Pasay

Hotels near SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Arena and SM Mall of Asia

Three venues sit in the same complex, and the hotels that serve them are the Mall of Asia group. Conrad has direct access to SMX and the arena, Golden Phoenix is the four-star option between them, and Hotel101 is the budget-plus base for arena nights.

Hotels near the Cultural Center of the Philippines, PICC and the Roxas Boulevard museums

The Heritage Hotel Manila is the pick for the CCP side of the strip, with the venue close by, and Midas sits along the same boulevard. Hotel Avelon, on Roxas Boulevard, is the small four-star alternative with a thin review record, and Selah Garden is the budget option for this stretch.

Hotels near NAIA Terminal 3 and the other terminals

NAIA has four terminals across Pasay and Paranaque, and they are not connected, so the terminal decides the hotel. Savoy and Belmont are both about 300 metres from Terminal 3 and reachable on foot over the Runway Manila footbridge; Hilton is about 500 metres away behind a covered walkway. Terminal 1 handles most international flights and Terminal 2 handles Philippine Airlines, and Hotel101 is roughly a ten minute drive from both. Terminal 4 takes low-cost domestic flights, so confirm the terminal before you confirm the room.

Types of Hotels in Pasay

Luxury hotels in Pasay

Pasay's luxury stock sits in Newport City and on the bay. Okura is the most expensive room among these picks at PHP 12,418, followed by Conrad at PHP 11,026 and Lanson Place at PHP 9,770; Marriott at PHP 9,664 and Hilton at PHP 9,568 sit just below, and Sheraton at PHP 8,964 is the lowest-priced five-star.

Budget hotels in Pasay

The floor is low. Airport Hostel Manila at PHP 566 is the cheapest bed among these picks and is built for layovers; Urban Travellers Hotel at PHP 1,132 adds an outdoor pool; Shore Residences Mall of Asia Stays by Pbyy at PHP 1,209 offers condo-style rooms with residential pools. Above them, the staycation units and the two GemstoneBR properties cover PHP 1,305 to PHP 1,516.

Family friendly hotels in Pasay

Space and a kitchen matter more than a pool once children are involved. Hotel101's standard unit sleeps three with a kitchenette, Citadines adds a kids' play area, and Hotel H2O Manila at PHP 3,934 sits inside Manila Ocean Park.

5 star hotels in Pasay

The main Pasay grid holds no five-star hotel at all. The five-star rooms are all in Newport City or on the bay. Below them, the mid-range hotels cluster between PHP 1,967 and PHP 2,869, and 3-star hotels in Pasay shows what the next tier down looks like.

Boutique hotels in Pasay

Boutique in Pasay means small and independently run, not design-forward in the international sense. Selah Pods Hotel Manila at PHP 1,516 is the closest fit, with colourful rooms and a rooftop pool. Selah Garden runs the same idea with a garden and a chapel, and Hotel Avelon is a small four-star on Roxas Boulevard.

Best Time to Visit Pasay and Book a Hotel

The dry months from December to May are the busy half of the year. Christmas and New Year come first, then Holy Week, when domestic travellers take long weekends and rates climb. The wet season from June to November brings afternoon rain and lower rates, and it suits a trip built around malls, casinos and convention halls.

Pasay also runs on events. Concerts, expos and conventions at SMX, the World Trade Center and the PICC fill the hotels around them, so check the venue calendar before you fix your dates.

Tips for Booking Hotels in Pasay

Decide the district first, then compare rooms inside it. A cheap room on the wrong side of Pasay costs more in transport than the difference in rate.

Check the terminal before anything else. The four NAIA terminals are separate buildings, so a hotel that works for Terminal 3 can be the wrong choice for Terminal 1 or 2.

Ask what breakfast adds and whether the rate is refundable. At the lower end breakfast is often excluded, and a flexible rate is worth paying for when a flight time might move.

For scale, PHP 1,000 is about US$16, close to the cheapest nightly rates in the table. Treat every figure as a from-price for the coming week, not a fixed rate for your dates.
