Top hotels in Matandang Balara
Grand Westside Manila Bay
Their dry sauna is great. Sauna enhances your immune system. Their steam room is moldy. They should disinfect if completely. They say they do airport pickup. It didn’t work for me the 2 times that I was there. Fortunately it only costs less than $5 to get a Grab.

Level of service was sub par. Breakfast was a zoo and they didn’t ever refill the breakfasts items. Over crowded and unpleasant experience. The rooms were small and basic. .
