THE FIKA ROOM near MNL Airport – Scandi Studio Unit with Fast Wi-Fi & Netflix – Read Full Property Desc before booking Overview
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the ridiculously long name of THE FIKA ROOM near MNL Airport – Scandi Studio Unit with Fast Wi-Fi & Netflix – Read Full Property Desc before booking, I thought it was going to be one of those overpromising Airbnb situations. But you know what? This little four-star gem actually delivers on most of what that verbose title suggests, and it’s tucked away in the Kassel Residences on East Rodriguez Avenue in a way that makes perfect sense once you’re there.
The Scandinavian theme isn’t just thrown-together IKEA furniture like you might expect – I mean, there’s definitely some of that, but it’s done thoughtfully. Clean lines everywhere, those muted grays and whites that somehow don’t feel sterile, and honestly the best part is how quiet it stays despite being in Paranaque. The building itself has decent soundproofing, which matters when you’re this close to flight paths. Speaking of which, yes, you’ll hear planes occasionally, but it’s more of a gentle reminder than an annoyance – and trust me, the trade-off for being literally minutes from MNL Airport is worth it if you’ve got early flights or tight connections. I’ve stayed in “airport hotels” that took longer to reach the terminal than this place does.
The Wi-Fi thing they advertise? Actually fast, not just “fast for the Philippines” fast. I was able to work without wanting to throw my laptop out the window, and the Netflix account works seamlessly with the wall-mounted TV. Small details matter here too – there’s a proper coffee setup (very fitting for a place called “Fika Room“), the shower has decent water pressure, and they’ve got those little touches like phone chargers and adapters ready to go. The kitchenette is more functional than most studio setups I’ve crashed in around Manila. What I really appreciated was how responsive the host was – not hovering, but available when I had questions about getting around the area. The building’s security is pretty tight without being annoying, and there’s a convenience store downstairs for those late-night snack runs. If you’re looking for something that splits the difference between a sterile airport hotel and someone’s spare bedroom, this hits that sweet spot surprisingly well.
Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Manila through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s metropolitan atmosphere and colonial heritage.

What could be improved: NAGreat place – Pamiedi from United Kingdom – June 15, 2024 (10/10)
I really loved the welcome note they had issued when I arrived. The setup of the room was really nice and was better than the photos suggest.
What could be improved: There is no elevator so carrying my suitcase and bag was very difficult, I think customer should be made aware before booking rather than after.Great Airport Stay – James from New Zealand – May 29, 2024 (10/10)

Over all our stay was really awesome. I am grateful and astounded to the service. This apartament has very good location, close to the airport, shops, McDonald, 7eleven. The bed and pillows were very soft and so nice to sleep, as well as the apartament was super clean. The owner provided all the amenities and things that are needed (drinking water, towels, iron etc.). In this apartment I felt like home! Highly reccomend to book this beautiful, modern, cozy place!
Just perfect! Thx – Sjoerd from Belgium – August 13, 2023 (10/10)

I came from belgium without expectation with my filipina girlfriend. We were impressed by the nice and clean Apartment.
Nice bathroom (larger than on photo) complete kitchen utensils, rice cooker, microwave fridge freezer just everything is there. Feels like really home. Yes i forget to mention things and certainly not to forget new and well-functioning air conditioning.

I hope I can come back again..So clean! So Cozy! – Dorothy from Sweden – July 12, 2023 (10/10)
The hosts Gryz and Sef were so accomodating. They exceptionally provided me all the assistance I need. Responses to queries are quick and precise. I loved that!
The home is indeed so cozy! Totally neat and clean. All the facilities works well that makes my whole days stay so comfortable. Minimalist and scandi vibe is at hand. The place is easy to locate and food delivery
is easy and quick!
I highly recommend their home both for long/short stays, single or travelling with a companion. Too comfy! It felt so homey! .
What could be improved: Moderate traffic around the area. Just plan and allow extra time when you are driving in and out or is catching a flight. I did and Sef was indeed timely for the pick up and drop off! Awesome!
