Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Pasay

4 stays · 4 aparthotels and 0 serviced apartments

Pasay is one of the cities of Metro Manila, and it is where aparthotels and serviced apartments make the most sense for travellers who need a practical base. The city holds much of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport complex, a large waterfront mall and entertainment district, and the Manila Bay shoreline, so stays here range from a night between flights to several weeks of business or family visits. An apartment with a kitchen and laundry is useful when you are juggling long days in a large metropolitan area.

Where to stay in Pasay

Bay City and SM Mall of Asia

  • shopping
  • families
  • events

Wikipedia describes SM Mall of Asia, opened in 2006, as the largest shopping centre in the country. Wikivoyage lists it with an arena, a science museum, a convention centre and an ice-skating rink. Staying near the waterfront puts evening meals, entertainment and sea views close by, though traffic around the complex can be heavy at peak times.

Roxas Boulevard

  • bay views
  • culture
  • first-time visitors

Wikipedia lists Roxas Boulevard among the city's main thoroughfares. The Cultural Center of the Philippines and related cultural complexes occupy reclaimed waterfront land beside it, and Wikivoyage places the Centre on Roxas Boulevard. It is a good base if you want the bay and the cultural venues close to your door.

Taft Avenue and Libertad

  • transport links
  • long stays
  • budget-conscious

Wikipedia lists four LRT Line 1 stations in Pasay, Gil Puyat, Libertad, EDSA and Baclaran, and MRT Line 3's Taft Avenue station. The area around Taft Avenue puts you on the rail corridor, which is a real advantage in a city where Wikivoyage warns of heavy traffic. Wikivoyage notes that the EDSA Extension is a major highway, which matters for light sleepers.

NAIA Terminal 3 area

  • early flights
  • transit stays
  • business travel

Wikipedia says the majority of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport complex is in Pasay, with Terminals 2, 3 and 5 under city jurisdiction. Wikivoyage lists Terminal 3 as the terminal for Cebu Pacific and other carriers. Staying near the airport suits early departures and late arrivals; check which terminal your airline uses before booking, as the terminals are not interchangeable.

Getting around Pasay

Wikivoyage describes Ninoy Aquino International Airport as lying in the southern part of Pasay, with Terminal 1 handling most international flights, Terminal 2 serving Philippine Airlines, Terminal 3 accommodating Cebu Pacific and other carriers, and Terminal 4 serving domestic carriers. Because the terminals are separate, confirm your own terminal with your airline before you travel.

On the rail network, Wikipedia says LRT Line 1 has four stations in Pasay and MRT Line 3 has a station on Taft Avenue; Wikivoyage describes the EDSA Rotunda as the transit hub between the two lines. Several expressways, including Skyway, SLEX and the NAIA Expressway, link the city to its neighbours. Wikivoyage names jeepneys as the main local transport, with tricycles also available and ride-hailing apps recommended for convenience, and warns that heavy traffic discourages driving.

Living in Pasay for longer

Pasay is a dense city, and day-to-day life revolves around malls, transit stations and the waterfront. For a long stay, choose a base by the LRT line if you plan to commute, or near the bay if you want a more relaxed pace and sea views. An apartment with a kitchen and washing machine is a practical choice, and a supermarket within reach of the mall district keeps routine shopping simple.

Local attractions beyond the mall include Star City, which Wikivoyage describes as an indoor, air-conditioned amusement park, and the Cultural Center of the Philippines on Roxas Boulevard. The city's neighbours make good weekend alternatives, so consider the guides for Makati and Taguig if your work is in those business districts. If you are moving rather than visiting, read about serviced apartments for relocation.

When to visit Pasay

PAGASA describes two major seasons: a rainy season from June to November and a dry season from December to May, with the cool part of the dry season running December to February and the hot part from March to May. Its national averages put January as the coolest month at a mean of 25.5 degrees Celsius and May as the warmest at 28.3.

Wikipedia's article on the Philippine climate says dangerous storms occur from July through October. If you travel in those months, follow PAGASA announcements and allow flexibility for flights. PAGASA's cool dry months, December to February, are the coolest part of the year for walking along Roxas Boulevard and the bay.

According to Wikipedia, Pasay covers about 18.64 square kilometres and borders Manila to the north, Parañaque to the south, Makati to the north-east, Taguig to the east and Manila Bay to the west. Wikivoyage adds that Roxas Boulevard divides it into the Reclamation Area to the west, home to many of the visitor attractions, and a dense urban area to the east. The sections below cover the main areas, how to move around, and the seasons. For background on the format see what an aparthotel is, and for neighbouring bases see Makati, Manila and Parañaque.
