The Bayleaf Intramuros Hotel

Wonderful Hotel. They were able to help our group get breakfast individually packed in our early mornings in Manila. They were able to exchange US currency at the desk for us. Room was clean and perfect. Food was lovely and roof bar had the most amazing view, but best of all about this hotel is its amazing staff and so friendly and helpful led by a great manager too. Every day, you're greeted with a big smile and they are happy to help you with anything they can. Had a great stay here and a brilliant wedding thanks so much.

Intramuros is a good location for a couple days to begin exploring Manila, so this is where I spend a night and 2 days. Its safe in the day, but I would not walk around at night in this area. We stayed in a superior room with views of the old city walls. Large comfy bed and a large bathroom too. They daily complimentary water was Appreciated. The only small critizism I have was that if the door did not fully clsoe, it sounded an awful alarm, but I guess that is for our protection. We decided to try the rooftop bar the second evening, and were just planning to have a quick drink and enjoy the views before going on to dinner elsewhere. We had such fantastic service yet again (helpful, very attentive, engaging without being annoying) that we decided to stay for dinner. We were starting to get tired of philippino food every meal, so we order a bunch of different starters and sharers (nachos, calamari, flatbreads and dips and spicy prawns). All were delicious, light and tasty, and perfect with a cold beer. As we were there on the night of the independence celebrations, we were able to enjoy the fireworks from the rooftop.
