We went to Baguio without a
plan and with only a lone hotel reservation at Hotel Veniz which was sponsored
by a colleague. That hotel room can
accommodate two people (max of three). We
went to Baguio as six adults and a kid.
Needless to say, that lone hotel room wouldn’t fit us. We tried to book an additional room at Hotel
Veniz but their available room was a Junior Suite, and it wouldn’t be very
practical for us to book it since we would be out touring during the day and
would just use it to sleep.
So my mom and I walked the
streets of Harrison Road to look for a hotel.
We found Harrison Inn, with unbelievable room rates costing Php900 for 3
pax. However, we were told that their
rooms are at the 4th floor of the building and they don’t have an
elevator. This is a no-no for us because
Neo’s Mamita (who’s traveling with us) can barely walk let alone climb the
stairs.
Luckily for us, just two
blocks away from Harrison Inn is Baguio Condotel. It has everything we were looking for a place
to stay. The rooms are big. They have rooms (two to be exact) in the
ground floor. The rates are
affordable. It’s strategically located one
pedestrian walk away from Burnham Park.
And each room comes with the amenities of a home. J

They offer one queen bed
and one single bed for studio type rooms.
|
We booked it right away,
and what’s more lucky for us, they honored Mamita’s SC card (senior citizen)
and gave us a 20% discount for the room.
I love establishments like these.

A dining area.

Pots, pans, plates, and
utensils good for 3 people are all inside the cabinet.

So how do I rate Baguio
Condotel?
Room – 5
out of 5. The room that my parents
stayed in was Casa Yakal. It’s a studio
room with 1 queen bed and 1 single bed.
The room is very spacious and has complete amenities that can
accommodate 3 people (microwave oven, rice cooker, induction cooker, pots and
pans, utensils and plates, cabinets, refrigerator, oven toaster, dining area,
and whatever you can think of.) They
have the amenities of a home. But their
rooms are non-air-conditioned rooms. But
who needs air-conditioning when you’re at Baguio during January?
Amenities – 4.5
out of 5. This condotel has parking
spaces for at most 5 cars. You might
want to park early so you will get a slot.
Also, this condotel offers amenities of a home but sometimes, when
you’re traveling and touring you would like some amenities that hotels can
provide, lots of towels, room services, etc.
But I can’t complain because my parents who stayed here was just so
happy about the amenities.
Staff – 4.5
out of 5. The staffs are all courteous
from the reception to the guard. They
would always assist Mamita while walking in and out of the condotel. But they don’t proactively offer to make up
the room or even provide toiletries.
They would clean and provide, but you would need to ask.
Food – n/a. They don’t offer free breakfast or any food
at all. It must be because you can cook
your own food.
Location – 5
out of 5. If I can give out a rating
more than 5, I’d give it. This place is
just a pedestrian walk away from Burnham Park at Harrison Road side. So if you want to go to Burnham Park, you can
walk for 2 minutes and you’re there.
Also, because of its location, my parents were able to go back and forth
the Baguio Night Market without walking too far.
Value for Money – 5 out of 5. With its location and amenities, and for a very affordable price, Baguio Condotel sure gives a lot of value to your money. What I really like about them is giving out senior citizen discount as much as 20% for the room itself. Below are the rates for Baguio Condotel.

a place to stay that would provide you the amenities you have in your home at a
very reasonable and affordable price, this is the place.
