We had a great stay in this place with our family (total 15) guests. Kuya Renee, the caretaker was very accommodating and kind. Nice place for a family to stay. They have kitchen utensils so we enjoyed cooking.
Location: Infront of a street. Can easily get a taxi. Walking distance down the street to reach a supermarket, laundry and food shops. Part city view and part mountain view in front of my business suite room, best view at night with all the bustling city lights next to the silent mountains. Near Botanical Gardens park where I go for a daily walk.
Cleanliness: My room was cleaned and tidied up well on my request on alternate days. The toilet at the ground floor next to the restaurant needs constant cleaning and drying up. My frequent visitors find the floor mini - flooded few times.
Service: Best service so far was from the amazing lovely room cleaners who were always smiling and quite courteous as they work tirelessly. The hotel's Elements Restaurant staff were also hardworking and respectful. The proficient chefs and sous chefs cooked relentlessly without pressure to deliver yummy food on the table! I ate way too much delicious Filipino food! The front desk staff needs to be a bit more approachable by smiling a little more as they are the first main contact of clients. Also I reckon management staff responsible in receiving communication via emails from clients need to be more pro-active by replying or acknowledging receipt of emails.
Facilities: I enjoyed using the treadmill at the hotel gym. They have the equipment that you can find in a basic gym which is wonderful albeit one of the 2 treadmills was out of order. The hotel restaurant is mostly busy and cramped. They have delicious buffets for breakfast, lunch, merienda/snack and dinner and are not too expensive. Hence a huge crowd from outside the hotel also flock this restaurant. There is a small pool next to the restaurant but way too closed to the dining tables where patrons are eating.
My other suggestion for hotel management is to ensure that the electric power points are safe. All the power points in my room were eliciting a mini-spark every time I plug in to charge my laptop, mobile phones and electric gadgets including the room's bedside lamps, lounge lamp, kitchen kettle. Beware to foreign hotel guests not to flush used toilet tissues as it can block the toilet bowl which happened on the second day of my one-month stay. Yes, chuck it into the bin next to it instead. The room lounge's sofas are already worn-out and scratchy; covering it with throw blankets would be much comfortable and cleaner-looking.
Overall I enjoyed my stay and will potentially return in a year's time.
Overall our stay was ok. But i would not recommend it for guests planning for a staycation
.
Pros:
●Rooms are big and shower area is spacious, and water pressure for showers, bidet, and faucet are strong.
● Breakfast buffet is good
●Hotel Staffs are friendly and approachable.
●View is nice
Cons:
●Although the hotel is relatively new, the amenities appear poorly maintained.”
Specially for the Pool area/Gym Area - Poor ventilation has caused the area to smell damp and moldy.
●8th floor, place is not very well lit, especially at night.”
●Pool hours is not consistent with what is posted online.
Suggestions: Timely repairs are necessary to maintain guest safety and provide a relaxing stay.
Biyan is their tourist attraction. Relatively speaking, the price is quite high.  But the disadvantage is that there is no elevator.  It is quite close to the viewing park. Then you need to drive for 10 minutes in the city.
Everything in the room was clean & comfy, the place was peaceful & very accessible to the well known cafes & tourist spots in Baguio. We'll definetely book again.
Not as expected. The hotel lobby looks not bad, but the room inside is quite old. Ajax there is some dirt on the shower towel. But the staffs are quite nice and friendly.
