Bayleaf has great comfortable beds with very stylish rooms and toilets. Buffet breakfast has a quality spread that's guarantee to satisfy. Great location for those who wants to explore the old city of Manila and walk the wall during sunset. Fast internet all over the hotel, even in rooms, Getting to the big malls will require a taxi ride.

I liked this hotel. It is clean, located in Intramurous Manila, the staff is friendly and responsive, not very expensive (we got a special rate from our partners). There is no spa/gym/swimming pool though. The breakfast is fine, could have more variety of juice choices though. The restaurant on top of the hotel (Sky Bar) is nice with a 360... More

The breakfast buffet was very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. They should employ local people - "pedicab drivers" as a tourist guide around Intramuros. This would ensure the tours are regulated and the tourist would feel safer knowing these drivers are employed by the hotel.

Arrived at noon had to wait for a room, the person before us got taken to his room and rejected it because it was to small, then our room was ready straight away, we suspect the rejected room but as we were only staying two nights we accepted it, the room was not user friendly, the colors in the rooms...

I wanted so much to like this hotel but on balance, that really isn't possible. It is not cheap and I expected at least 4 star service for the price but sadly that is not what I experienced. Perhaps a list of Pros and Cons will illustrate: Pros - Location! Excellent for exploring Intramuros, great views. - Polite staff -... More

I would highly recommend visiting the hotel, and especially the roof top bar. A great 360 view of the city at night that over looks the golf course, city hall, and other sites around Manilla. Friendly service, good food and reasonable prices as well!

Located in the historic, walled former city center that is witnessing a renovation and revival, The Bayleaf was a definite refuge after busy days in the City. Clean, Well-Designed, with a nice breakfast and wonderful view (the rooftop bar also is great for a sunset drink). This was our first time in the Philippines, so weren't quite sure where to... More
