We recently stayed at the Bayleaf for 3 nights whilst in Manila for a family wedding. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and provided us with great service at all times (particular thanks to Rodel, Kim, Aldrin, Paulo and Geraldin). We had 2 rooms very close to each other on the same floor. It was great that our children could... More

Stayed at Bayleaf Hotel for 3 days 2 nights. Upon arrival, me and my fiance were greeted warmly by the staff. Everyone was courteous and friendly. Sir John Enriquez made sure we were comfortable in our room and if we need any assistance, they will be happy to help. The room was clean and stylish. Bathroom was big and amenities... More

The location is good for church weddings and historical attractions. The roof deck is really cool with a nice view to boast, staff are also friendly and they also have a free breakfast... I only wish that they have a swimming pool, a gym and other amenities to relax. :)

Especially I have to point out the service of the hotel. Every wish was tried to make come true, even if they were time critical. Rooms are clean, modern and very nice. An absolute highlight is the rooftop bar with a beautiful view over Intramuros and the the rest of Manila (order a mango shake). Intramuros is also one of... More

I stayed 2 nights with this hotel. Francis Serrano in concierge was great, he answered my email requests all within 3 hours of me sending the request and I haven't even checked in! Staff was friendly and greeted us by name as we entered the front doors. Internet is free which is great. The room was clean and had a... More

I stayed here for one night before travelling on to the islands. The rooms were very, very nice with stylish interior design. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Only disappointment was the lack of a pool or gym. However, the beautiful skyterrace definately makes up for that. A big plus also goes to the breakfast. Very good value for... More

Being a boutique hotel, I kind of expected that size of almost everything will be reduced in half - the elevator, the hallway, and the room. I was right :) BUT the hotel was true to this statement - big things come in small packages :) The room we stayed in, despite it being not as spacious as others, offered... More

I'm simply befuddled by the great reviews of this hotel. I chose it for our three nights in Manila based on reviews and also because I was interested in the location, which seemed a better fit for us than the more generic areas of Manila. We ended up staying only one night, though all three were prepaid, and moving to... More

Greetings from The Bayleaf! Allow us first to publicly express our apologies for that uneventful stay in our hotel. The review you shared is certainly not the usual type of reviews that we get constantly but even so, as a young hotel organization we could only learn from it. We thank you for taking the time to share your comments.... More

Getting to the hotel could be a bit of a hassle if you're coming all the way from the airport, especially during rush hour. Then again, if you intend to visit the historic walled city of Intramuros anyways, booking with this boutique hotel is a smart move. We brought a car with us, and the basement parking was a relief...

Stayed here for a night on arriving in Manila and then again for our return journey home. Our room was clean and had a great view of the golf course. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
