“lyf Malate's youthful value stay”
lyf Malate Manila managed by The Ascott Limited is a clean, youthful, good-value hotel near Robinson Mall — a Starbucks on the ground floor, a useful common kitchen for longer stays (good for instant meals), a workout space, a tasty breakfast, friendly enthusiastic helpful staff, strong air conditioning and hot water, and a lobby guard for security; a mall is a short walk. Honest notes: the surrounding alleys feel dark and sketchy at night with bars nearby, the rainy season floods the streets (bring slippers), the shower room is tiny for the room size, and a fridge-equipped room adds a big surcharge.
