Recently I was transiting through Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) and had the opportunity to visit the Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge. In this MNL Priority Pass Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge Review, I’ll run through the food, wifi speed, seating and other lounge amenities so you can decide if this is worth a visit on your next trip to Manila.
Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge Location
The Marhaba Lounge location is in Terminal 3, which is the international terminal. There is also a Marhaba Lounge in Terminal 1 for domestic flights.
Follow the signs for airport lounges after you clear security and immigration, and the Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge is upstairs on Level 4
The Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge is open daily between 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
One interesting thing to note about the Marhaba Lounge in Terminal 3 is that it is also a contracted lounge for Japan Airlines and Air Canada business class passengers. When we got to the entrance, there were 2 check-in lines – one for Priority Pass and one for business class passengers. In this case, we were flying Japan Airlines business class to Tokyo, so we went to the rightmost lane and were directed to the right after check in. Priority Pass passengers are directed to the left, where the seating is more cramped and the food is much more basic.
Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge airport lounge seating
As I mentioned, we were on the right side of the lounge, which is reserved for business class passengers. There are a few seating areas at the Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge. When I was there around 7:00 a.m., it was pretty empty.
Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge Review: food
The food at the Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Priority Pass / Marhaba Lounge is pretty basic.
There wasn’t an actual bar – instead there were bottles and cans of alcoholic and soft drinks available.
Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge wifi
The Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba airport lounge wifi speed was okay.
Despite the posted (low) speeds, I didn’t have any trouble accessing the Internet or watching videos or doing anything else online during my time in the lounge.
Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge Priority Pass airport lounge amenities
There were not really any amenities in the lounge other than restrooms – the Marhaba Lounge was pretty basic.
There is a basic shower area in the restroom, that does not need to be reserved.
The Bottom Line – Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge Priority Pass Lounge Review
If you have access to the Manila Terminal 3 Marhaba Lounge at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila, it’s worth a stop, though I wouldn’t go terribly out of my way. The food is okay though not as good as some of the other lounges like Polaris, Capital One or Centurion lounges. The Wifi is solid and it’s definitely a place worth visiting if you have a layover between flights.
