Hotel in zona FREE METHODIST CHURCH, Baguio

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.

Uploaded herewith is a photo of an advisory by Baguio Burnham Suites management regarding the LIMITATION in their supply of hot water. This photo was taken inside my hotel room, after I checked-in the hotel. The hotel management should have been honest enough to publish the same advisory in their website. I checked their website BEFORE booking a 9-night stay in their hotel. Had I read their advisory in their website at that time, I would NOT have booked a stay in their hotel at all! When I actually checked-in Baguio Burnham Suites hotel, I discovered that the problem with their supply of hot water was MUCH WORSE that what their advisory admits. The hot water failed literally everyday that I was there. Engineering came twice to try to fix the hot water problem, but the ”fix” did not last! I had to take FREEZING showers in the bathroom twice. This was because Baguio City has COLD weather and there was NO hot water. I asked myself, how about the men's restroom in the ground floor of the hotel? Does it provide hot water? I tested said restroom for 5-10 minutes. NO hot water. I had to check-out of the hotel, after a stay of only 3 nights. I did NOT use the remaining 6 nights of my booking. In a cold climate, NO reliable hot water! Unbearable!

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.. 😔

Stavo qui per l'Anno Nuovo. Mi è stato dato un letto matrimoniale dal momento che la capacità era piena. Mi è venuto sorpreso che al mio arrivo mi è stato dato un buono che mi dà cena gratuita per tutta la mia permanenza per 2 notti! La scelta di cibo era leggermente limitata, ma il gusto era molto buono! Colazione saggia la diffusione era buona per un piccolo hotel, non essere sconvolto di gustare un buon colazione qui! Situazione wise it’s a poca distanza dalla città principale, come questo hotel si trova accanto a Lafayette , che si trova sulla collina, così il tempo è freddo alla notte, che è una bella cosa da vivere!

Il luogo è al centro della strada della sessione, quindi è più facile per noi andare a diversi ristoranti e attrazioni baguio. Il mercato pubblico è anche a piedi. La stanza è quasi completa e pulita. Nessun reclamo. Vale la pena che ur paghera'.

We stayed for a week (7d 6n) It was a charming hotel that overlooks the mountainous Baguio City. Staff were accommodating, professional and friendly. My only downside is that there’s no shuttle to pick us up or drop us off to our preferred destination especially one night that we finished shopping at SM Baguio not so late at around 8 or 9pm and there were no taxicabs around. We were neglected by the SM’s dispatcher so freezing and inconvenient as it is, I called the hotel to pick us up since we were having a hard time booking a grab taxi. It is always drivers are busy all the time. The first lady at front desk wasn’t that helpful. She just gave a “wala na kaming magagawa” answer but the second front desk lady was accommodating and went the extra mile so kudos to her. Shout out to our housekeeper lady Grace who also is friendly and courteous and gave us all the amenities we needed. Replenished our sheets reqularly. Above all it was an above average stay but not as perfect since there were minor areas like, the bathroom sewer stinks, which I think they are aware of, no shuttle, the balcony is fine coz we were at the corner facing both the vines with some noisy construction workers chatting but tolerable and pine trees on your right. You have to lean over to get a good view but be extra careful for you might fall to your death. It was a charming and promising hotel. We might consider to comeback and tell this to friends, relatives and close loved ones.

La posizione del condominio era in una posizione molto buona vicino ai luoghi turistici e alle joints/restauranti. La nostra unità di studio era pulita e piccola, ma durante il nostro soggiorno, purtroppo, c'era un bruno a causa di un posto elettrico che è stato danneggiato quando un albero cade su di essa. Questo ci ha portato a usare le scale fino alla nostra unità di quinto piano con i bagagli, l'ascensore non funzionava e non era divertente. La nostra stanza era un'unità angolare, quindi abbiamo due balconi, abbiamo una buona vista e un aria fresca.

It was indeed an amazing stay in ur hotel, hoping to be back again this year with my co workers, and stay again in this Hotel, thank u so much HEB.

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.

Questo è un posto molto bello per riposare non solo per le coppie, ma anche per i viaggiatori soli che volevano sfuggire alle stressose congedo di lavoro e spostarsi da cose che rendono la loro vita pesante.
