The area nearby is not very nice, so we stayed in the hotel most of time to "accumulate the energy" for the long journey travel back to Canada.

Belmont Hotel Manila near NAIA Terminal 3 MNL
Staff are helpful and friendly, the room is nice but the toilet is not enough pressure when you flush the toilet bowl. It would be nice if the sky walk is connected to the hotel.
