Many serviced apartments in the metro guarantee that your short vacation or long-term stay will be as pleasant and luxurious as you imagined it to be. In this list, we've culled places that provide the opulent comfort of a top hotel

Are you looking for staycation options? Perhaps you are a tourist looking for a place to stay while visiting the Philippines. Or maybe, you are taking care of some much-needed home renovations. Whichever it may be, a serviced flat may be just what you need. Serviced apartments offer amenities that you can find in a hotel, or a home which makes long-term stays much easier, and satisfies the needs of travellers who want a kitchen and added in-room amenities to enhance their vacation experience.

What differentiates a hotel from a serviced apartment is that the latter offers a kitchen equipped with all your cooking needs, a larger fully-furnished living room and dining area where you can welcome guests, and more often than not, a balcony or even a guest room.

Serviced apartments have piqued the interests of many. In the list below, we have listed some of the best places to stay in the bustling Metro Manila:
