We are arriving in Manila airport about 8:00pm on Saturday night 28th June. By the time we clear all the formalities it is probably 9:30-10pm. We are booked on a Superferry departing 8:30 am on Sunday morning. I understand we need to be at the ferry terminal 2-3 hours before departure, ie. 5:30am So allowing for transport, 1 hr from airport to Manila, 20 minutes from hotel to ferry terminal, we have need to stay somewhere for the time Saturday 11pm to Sunday morning 5am. 2 Adults and 4 children- 9, 7, 4, and 2yrs old. On a very tight budget, looking for a safe place to hang out till morning. Just need a place to bed the kids down as they get to heavy to carry for that long. Any ideas?

Yes, several ideas!

The superferry may have already docked the night before. So, if the Superferry is docked and you have your tickets, you may be able to board well before 5.30am.

Check the timetables for the Superferry you are catching and check with the company regarding their earliest boarding time.

When I have caught the superferry from Manila, I stayed at the Aloha on corner of Roxas Boulevarde and Quirino Avenue. Coming from the airport going to the Superferry pier, your taxi will have to drive right past it. A year ago, a room with a view of the bay was P2,600 per night.

If you would like something cheaper, try the Townhouse. A taxi heading from the airport to the Superferry pier would have to drive right past this one too.
