Why guests love itDays on the sun terrace bookended a stay for two friends at lyf Malate Manila: morning coffee in the sunshine, then late evenings watching the city's lights spread across the urban sprawl. Breakfast with local specialities started each day well, and the fitness centre was a welcome extra. There is no bar or cocktail scene on the terrace, which kept it peaceful; those expecting a lively rooftop night would find it far too quiet.
