Modern Studio at NAIA Terminal 3

Modern Studio at NAIA Terminal 3 Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Modern Studio at NAIA Terminal 3, you immediately get that “this is exactly what I needed” feeling. The four-star property sits right in Newport Boulevard’s cluster development, and honestly, the setup is pretty brilliant — especially if you’re dealing with early flights or late arrivals. I mean, being this close to Terminal 3 without feeling like you’re camping at the airport? That’s the sweet spot right there.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about this spot in Pasay — you’re literally minutes from NAIA Terminal 3, but you’re also in Newport City, which has become this surprisingly vibrant area. The location rating of 9.0 from recent guests isn’t just hype; couples especially seem to get it, rating it 8.9 for romantic getaways. You can walk to Resorts World Manila if you want some entertainment, grab decent meals without venturing far, and still feel like you’re in a proper neighborhood rather than some sterile airport zone. The whole Newport Boulevard area has really developed well over the past few years.

The Studio Experience

The studio setup works better than you’d expect — it’s one of those spaces that feels larger than it actually is. Everything’s thoughtfully arranged, and you know what really impressed me? The attention to making it feel like a proper home base rather than just a place to crash between flights. The modern touches throughout the unit give it that fresh, clean aesthetic without being cold or impersonal. Unit 10i specifically has good natural light, which makes a difference when you’re trying to shake off jet lag or just want to relax properly.

Practical Perks

What actually matters when you’re staying here is how smoothly everything works. The proximity to Terminal 3 means you can literally time your departure to the minute — no more of that “leave three hours early just in case” anxiety. But it’s not just about the airport; the Newport area has solid dining options, a few convenience stores, and decent transport links if you want to explore Manila proper. The building itself runs efficiently, and you get that sense of reliability that frequent travelers really appreciate.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.2 overall rating tells the real story here — this place consistently delivers on its promise. Guests keep coming back because it solves that specific problem of needing quality accommodation near the airport without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The couples who rate the location so highly aren’t wrong; there’s something unexpectedly romantic about having a proper base near the airport while still being connected to the city. It’s become one of those places that frequent Manila visitors bookmark for future trips, and honestly, I can see why.

Best hotels in Manila range from luxurious high-rise properties in Makati business district to boutique hotels with stunning views of Manila Bay and the city’s impressive modern skyline.

• it was great – Santos from Canada – April 30, 2025 (8/10)

  great location with lots of near by things to do and eat, plus a/c

  What could be improved: Nothing

• Good place for NAIA travelers – Sinisa from Serbia – November 25, 2024 (7/10)

  Great location just few minutes from NAIA terminal 3 via bridge, easily accesible from Makati via grab taxi. McDonalds and 24×7 supermarket also nearby. Host is great and very responsive. Precise instructions for checkin. Security in bulding is very good and polite. Condo is small, modern, with a great view. Hussle free key takeover/handover via lockbox. Air condition is efficient and silent. Ideal choice for flight layovers.
  
  What could be improved: As said condo is well equipped but some parts are wornout which is understandable and we dont have problem with that. Biggest issue is cleanlines. Whoever is paid for cleaning condo is paid too much. Bed linen as most important part for every guest wasn"t changed. Hairs and nasty stains from previous guest(s) all over. We slept on towels. Bugs in the kitchen were the sign that place is not cleaned properly. Host should find someone else for this job for sure.

• Good – Dinah from Philippines – November 17, 2024 (7/10)

  The location is very near terminal 3 , pharmacy and supermarket.
  
  What could be improved: Towels don't smell clean. Furniture needs to be refurbished.

• Jakob was an amazing host! We had a problem with the airconditioning unit one evening and everything was resolved the da – Nadine from Germany – October 30, 2024 (8/10)

  The property is situated just a fee minutes from NAIA T3. Restaurants and a supermarket are just nearby. Salons, Spa Parlors. You don't have to go far and wide.
  
  What could be improved: Some of their facility was either broken or not available. I booked the property some time in June for an October trip- their washing machine wasn't working then. Up until my trip, it still was not usable. A washing machine during a week stay would have been wonderful- I don't like bringing that much laundry after a vacation. A flat iron was also not available at the property- so that was another bummer.

• Wonderful – Maher from Ghana – September 21, 2024 (9/10)

• Ideal for stay just before next fligth, or after a long flight … but also if for a few days. – Thay from Germany – June 17, 2024 (9/10)

  Proximity to NAIA Terminal 3. just 5-10' footwalk to Departures.
  Even from Terminal 1 just a short (and cheap) taxi ride.
  
  Corner room.
  
  Sofa and working desk

• Very Good – Amy from Australia – April 25, 2024 (8/10)

  Communication with the owner was fantastic! Location to the airport was great too and having access to wifi helped us book grabs.
