Hotel berhampiran Baguio Arboretum, Baguio

I’ll start off with saying that my wife and I stayed here in 2019 and had an excellent stay. The hotel was fairly new at the time and everything functioned. Well things have certainly changed over the past couple of years. The only reason I am not giving a one star is because the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming upon checkin and the location is great. To the many things wrong with this hotel and why you should definitely find somewhere else to stay when you’re in Baguio… The first problem we encountered was the room having a strong chemical/fragrant smell with a sticky residue on all of the surfaces, I’m not sure if they had sprayed some sort of air freshener or something before we arrived but it was quite strong and bad. Secondly the general cleanliness of the room is off putting. There was a thick coating of dust around the tv and on the table next to the bed, gross. The door had hand prints and smudges from the top to bottom as well. The worst of all these issues is the bathroom. Don’t expect to get too clean here because our shower was a trickle of water and not much beyond that, don’t forget to pack your tabo. The staff offered no resolution for a room swap or anything for any of these issues. To finalize, this hotel has lots of cheerful reviews, maybe it was just our specific room in disrepair. However it is advertised as a nice hotel you’d expect some amenities at. There was not even a washcloth or hairdryer in the bathroom. I do regret my stay here this time and would caution if you plan on staying here.

Best value for the space. Stayed here with friends years ago. Came back with family. Air conditioned room good for 5 adults and 1 infant. Upon entering the room, looks it had it shares of fun times already. But once the lights are open and blinds are up and Aircon is open the room feels more homey. They have ample parking space but best to get to park out the lobby. Basement parking is quite cramped and also stinks of cigarette even if there were a bunch of no smoking sign. The hallway also sometime smells like cigarettes. Initially was informed that breakfast was plated but it was buffet breakfast. Breakfast had cereals, chicken soup on both days, two kinds of rice, 3 kinds of viands, diy salad and two kinds of fruits. Coffee, hot chocolate, juice and water. Everything was edible but not that good. 😆 location is also good since baguio has number coding on weekdays. Having ascending part of session road closed was a bit hassle but easy to go around. Beds were comfy, restroom was clean enough. Elevator in hotel is not working 24 hours unless you have bags need to be lifted. Overall nice stay. Budget and comfort was hit 🎯

We booked in this hotel because we already tried the other hotels in the city (Manor etc.) and our practice is to try others as well. We went in without any high expectations but we were pleasantly surprised. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, the service is good and the people are courteous, attentive, friendly and accommodating. The layout of the hotel is designed to allow breezy circulation of air. Lobby and Atrium layout is good. Rooms are also good, with AC (now a necessity in Baguio specially in summer!), ceiling fans and with balcony access (the views though may not be that great.) There is Wifi and the room TVs are Smart, for those who can't live without their Netflix and Youtube. Toilet and shower is also great, with good water pressure and hot water. Shower area is a bit narrow though, and there are no bidets for those looking for one. The usual toiletries are relatively complete with everything needed. The atrium is a nice venue and eating area. Speaking of eating, the buffet selection is OK with a variety of dishes, fruits, bread, drinks etc. The hotel resto (Outlook) is also good, albeit a bit on the expensive side. No hotel is perfect though and we had some concerns with this one. Some minor nitpicks we had are: the toilet paper in the CR is a bit flimsy/thin and only 1 roll is provided. There are no room napkins. Two not-so-minor issues we had are: The bed of my wife had a loud creaking for some reason, but mine was OK and so were the beds of our family members in the other room, so we lost a bit of sleep on that. Also, soundproofing was a bit lacking, as in both of the rooms we booked we could hear the neighbors talking and their TVs (I think the adjoining doors are a bit too thin.) Despite these, we still easily recommend this hotel to everyone who want to stay in the city. The facilities, service and people are above-average. An added advantage is that this hotel are just short drives from typical tourist spots (Mines View, Mansion, Wright park etc.), excepting the traffic, of course.

Before the stay, the online booking process was very easy and intuitive. Upon arrival we were quickly checked in and our room was in immaculate condition, with a stunning view from the balcony. We were very impressed with the personalised welcome gift that was offered by the management, it made us feel very special. There were plenty amenities offered complimentary and there’s also the option to get a reasonably priced mini bar selection. The bedroom was very comfortable, and the view is outstanding. Although there’s no a/c, the ceiling fans do the job properly ( it’s even healthier) Everything has a feel of comfort and luxury, which is amazing value for the price. If there’s anything that would make this place even better would be to have more vegetarian options on the restaurant menu. The gardens are very neat and well taken care of, it’s such a pleasant walk around. I can’t finish without mentioning the outstanding and remarkable service that was provided to us by Alyssa, welcoming us on arrival with a genuine smile and going way beyond to make our stay truly unforgettable, she is indeed a star and a valuable asset to the Manor. We already can’t wait to return again :)

The room is good, clean and huge! Though it looks old room but we enjoyed the stay. The location was good too because it was accissible to burnham park, actually we extend our stay for another night! The best thing in staying in this place was the food was so good, my children loves their sizzling sisig, crispy lechon, grilled liempo and everything they cooked! The staffs were friendly too! Commendable! 👍👍

Been checking in here regularly since November for business purposes. This is actually a good hotel specially for a quick fix for a back to back meeting or a long days work. Rooms are clean and necessary sanitary protocols are intact specially being a rooms division manager and working in the industry for almost 12 years i can personally attest that they are maintaining cleanliness on their rooms... Wifi is good though you need to re log in every 5 min of down time,,, though again its good when in use... overall this hotel is really qualified for a 3-4 star review... unfortunately they hired a someone that pulls them down... a rotten apple mixed with good ones... their front office agent named “LYN” made our stay here terrible specially when shes on duty.. (We are having a pleasant stay though when shes on day off or areadly off duty) Take note that we are staying on this property for 5 or more times per month. At first meeting, she even mentioned they dont accept card transaction, as mentioned i told her that im a rooms div manager and i can see a credit card terminal, even offered to teach her how to use it. And yes!!! Its confirmed that she really doesn’t know how to use one. Next is fro a simple request for a simple shampoo, borrowing of extra slippers, all this request are all being denied by this front office agent named LYN... Oh did i forget to mention that its hard to contact the front desk when shes on duty on graveyard? Again we are exactly on point shes sleeping on duty!!! I just dont get the point why does lyn always ask for my id when checking in well in fact all of her colleagues does not do this as im already on their records,,, maybe she also doesn’t know to use the system... lastly we ordered food outside as their resto is close... ever since it is being directly delivered by their staff after the food is being handed to the fo... I dont know if her stupidity struck again and just decided to ask me to go down and pick it up even lying that she only has the guard with him,, after mentioning to her that its always being delivered here on our room, then instantly one of the hk guys gave it with all respect.. To the general manager of this eurotel property, maam / sir, this agent will pull your property down. I really hope that necessary actions will be done. I also understand that maybe she is just hired recently and lack of training is not given due to the pandemic. But being a seasoned hotelier, this type of attitudes are usually untrainable already specially for someone working upfront.. I guess we already know what im suggesting. The guy front office supervisor is someone to commend though adding the new hk male attendant,,,actually all of the staff except Lyn...again a rotten apple on a set of good ones.. 😔

This is a very nice place to rest not only for couples but also for lone travelers who wanted to escape the stressful workloads from their jobs and to move on from things that makes their living heavy

Quite disorganized. Triage slip - this is an important piece of paper that a traveller should always bring especially when going to Camp John Hay area. I was asked by the receptionist to hand her the triage slip when we were checking in. I thought it must be submitted to them that’s why it wasn’t returned to me. When we travelled to John Hay, we were blocked at the gate because we didn’t have it. We went back to the hotel and asked about it. The receptionist struggled to find it but eventually found it. Hotel luggage cart - we were about to go to our room and asked for assistance since we have a lot of bags/luggages with us. We waited for so long because they seemed struggling to find the cart, so we decided to go without it. Housekeeping request - on our third day, we called at the lobby to schedule cleaning and replacing everything that needs to be replaced. We were out the entire day and hoping the room is clean when we return, but to our surprise, nothing happened. A staff forcibly opening the door - early in the morning when we were still sleeping (and haven’t had enough sleep), someone was trying to open the door, and since it’s taking a while, I decided to rise up, went to the door and opened it. The staff apologized and said it was a mistake. I never got back to sleep and was not feeling well the entire day. Breakfast - I don’t know if it’s normal but I find it such a hassle to always get a coupon from the lobby daily, and present it to the cafe every morning. The time we plan to take breakfast everyday is also being asked. I know this is to manage/forecast the flow of requests, but one day when we weren’t able to show up on time, someone from the cafe called us to know what time we will eat. I appreciate the concern, but it was just about 8:30am, and what if we were still sleeping? We felt pressured to go down and eat, and that’s what we did. Friendliness - not all, but most of the staff are not used to greeting people. Other than these, there are still good things about this place, such as the location. It’s within the city center, so it’s easy to go around. The area feels safe as well.

This is a newer hotel and still have construction going on. You have to drive through the circular parking to get to the main entrance. There is a free shuttle to bring you to the main road. The breakfast is okay. The room is huge and clean but there is no pool and I don’t see a lot of guest in the lobby so very quiet and like dead. It’s further away from downtown.

Uphill has a nice location close to most attractions, there's free secured parking and a great open feeling in the lobby and restaurant with nice views as well from the restaurant. The staff was friendly and it was very clean and modern with free Netflix on the TV. Breakfast was excellent. I don't know what the rest of the rooms are like, but ours....... Lets just say it was more like a small inside cabin on a cruise ship. There was only one tiny window that overlooked a drainage ditch and had no screen, so we couldn't keep it open because mosquitoes were coming in. There was no aircon so the room was quite hot in the evening and any sound from the lobby seemed like it was right in the room with us. If you stay here make sure you get a room with a window, or even better a room with a view.
