Kabayan Hotel has long been a favorite for accommodations among overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) as its strategic location in the EDSA Pasay area offers ease of access to the airports, employment agencies, government offices, and allied services. It is also a place where they are treated to warm and thoughtful Filipino hospitality as their send-off to their destination countries or as their first stop upon their journey back home to the Philippines.
With its expansion with a new building situated only a few meters from the original hotel structure, Kabayan Hotel has introduced more amenities that offer bonding opportunities for their valued guests and their families.
Pinoy pride
The new property, which is furnished with modern Filipiniana touches, has guests welcomed through a revolving glass door into a spacious lobby that is designed for convenient check-in. The Filipino artwork at the common areas, including the elevator, highlights local craftsmanship using materials such as hardwood, piña embroidery, and mother of pearl inlays.
The Salo restaurant, which offers Filipino food favorites served family style is also on the ground level. Among the bestseller dishes are the crispy pata, kare-kare, and beef mechado for a true taste of home. It also has a merienda buffet of traditional dishes such as arroz caldo, ginataang mais, and garlic sotanghon, along with street food fare such as fish balls and kikiam at an affordable price of P249 per person, and served daily from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Comfort for your journey
Kabayan Hotel is designed to provide restful accommodations for kababayans at every stage of their journey. It offers choices of Pad Premium, Superior, Team, Standard, Pads, Flats, Dormitories, and Kapsule Beds. Each room combines comfort and function, with amenities that are fit for the budget-conscious traveler.
Those who would like to experience more space and convenience can now book at their brand-new Pad, Mabuhay, and Kabayan suite categories located at the upper levels of the new hotel building. The well-appointed suites are perfect for staycations. They can comfortably accommodate families who want to create new memories as they relax in the heart of the metro, as the hotel is near major malls and entertainment centers for their leisure activities.
The new hotel building likewise has a Salo function room that can accommodate up to 150 guests to celebrate their special milestones or to hold important company conferences. A rooftop deck will soon be added to its list of amenities for special gatherings. While the hotel is very accessible to public transportation, there is also elevated and guarded parking available at the back for room and function guests.
Hospitality at heart
“Filipino hospitality is world-class and we take our mission to heart. We treat our guests like we treat our visitors at home. That is our service philosophy. We make sure that they are comfortable, relaxed, and well-taken care of,” says Kabayan Hotel general manager Raymund Aves.
Hotel services that are tailor-fit for OFW kababayans include an OFW Help Desk that can refer their government agency-related inquiries or assist them with processing and printing their documents onsite. There are even weighing scales available at their convenient luggage packing area located at the lobby.
“At Kabayan Hotel, we tell them, ‘Kasabayan namin kayo,’ whether they are at the start of their journey as aspiring OFWS staying at our Dorms and Kapsules, to returning overseas workers who have been able to save up for our Standard Superior Rooms, and now our Suite rooms are able to accommodate them as they relax and bond with their families,” Aves says. “With our new rooms and facilities, we are evolving from ‘Kasabayan namin kayo’ to ‘Bagong Kabayan Para sa Bagong Makabayan,’ as we continue our support for our guests’ journey to success.”
