"I stayed at Azalea Residences Baguio and unfortunately my experience was disappointing, despite the hotel having a good and convenient location in Baguio.
The first issue happened during check-in. I was initially assigned a room that was not yet ready. I went up only to find that the room was still being prepared. I went back down to the front desk hoping they would immediately give me another available room. Instead, I was told that the room was ready but just needed to be checked by a supervisor. Since it was taking time, I decided to just go out and have lunch. When I came back, they eventually gave me a different room, which honestly could have been done from the start.
When I finally got to the room, the cleanliness was questionable. There was a water bottle left inside the fridge that likely belonged to the previous guest, and there were shoe marks visible on the tiles, which made it feel like the room had not been properly cleaned.
The biggest issue for me was the Wi-Fi. Reliable internet is already a necessity nowadays. While the main connection might be strong, the signal extender or booster in the room appears very weak, causing frequent disconnections. Cellular signal inside the room is also poor, so guests rely heavily on Wi-Fi. Improving the Wi-Fi coverage would greatly improve the stay.
In terms of price, the hotel is around the average range for accommodations in Baguio—not particularly cheap but not luxury either. Considering the issues I experienced, there are many Airbnb options and other hotels in Baguio that may offer better value for the price.
The location is definitely a plus, but overall the stay did not meet expectations."
"The owner is very helpful and friendly. All our needs are being met. My friends and I enjoyed our stay especially the view from the balcony every morning. They also offered us a city tour package, which I think was the best for beginners or first timers in Baguio. The only problem is the location. Transportation is a bit of a problem here if you don't want to bring your car or if you don't have one. Limited transportation since Grab/Taxi are also limited in Baguio due to the numbers of tourists, plus if you're a first timer for sure you don't know how to commute to downtown. But all in all, our stay is 8/10. I wished we could stay longer next time. Thank youuu."
"Solid stay, but front desk service could be more consistent
I’d give this Microtel a thumbs up for cleanliness and convenience. Being walking distance to Victory Liner made our spontaneous trip much easier. The room was tidy, the breakfast was worth it, and the free coffee in the lobby was a lifesaver.
A tip for travelers: Book online! The walk-in rates were significantly higher. Also, while most staff were great, our check-in inquiry felt a bit cold—first impressions matter, regardless of how ”haggard” a traveler might look after a long trip. Lastly, don't expect to stream movies as the TV is basic. Overall a nice stay, but a bit more warmth at the front desk and a tech upgrade would make it 5 stars."
"Our stay was fantastic! The staff were extremely accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food at the lobby restaurant was absolutely delicious, with high-quality dishes that we thoroughly enjoyed. The location is wonderfully quiet and relaxing, providing the perfect escape. Truly one of the best places to stay in Baguio"
"Balai de Selendra truly felt like a home away from home. The moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed, as if the place had known me for years. The room was incredibly cozy, comfortable, and inviting. It made me want to stay in bed and relax all day.
A special thank you to Mariam for her exceptional hospitality. She was very accommodating, attentive, and always ready to assist with anything I needed. Her kindness made my stay even more memorable.
I honestly wished I could have stayed longer, but it was time for me to head back to Manila. Thank you for such a wonderful and heartwarming experience. Until my next check-in at Balai de Selendra! 😊 ~Melody"
"Cedar peak has good location and good amenities for its price. They have relatively friendly staff.
But units are not sound proof. Conversations, shouting and foot steps in the hallways can disturb your night sleep.
But overall, our stay was good. Thank you!"
