Since I’m an OC researcher, I searched the net for some viable places to stay. I want it cheap but near the city. I learned my lesson from our Bohol trip. I booked a budget-friendly place but was very far from the city that we had to cut short our daily tours just to come back to the room early. Transportation is hard to come by at night.
Hotel Veniz is at the heart of downtown Baguio. It is located near the Igorot Garden and the public market. There is a convenience store, gas station and restaurants around the hotel. Clearly, the perfect place for us to stay.
The hotel staff is friendly and accommodating. I reserved a Junior Standard room (P1,295)which has no aircon (who needs aircon when you’re in Baguio?) via email. But, since a Junior Standard room was not yet available by the time we checked in, the receptionist upgraded our room to Standard Room (P1,595), a room with an air con unit, at no extra cost. We saved P300 a night. A steal!

I’m so excited with our room at the fourth floor. It was spacious for the two of us. It has two beds, own bathroom, TV, coffee table, cabinet, drawers and a bedside table.
Inside the bedside table was a Bible, hotel phone numbers, flashlight, schedule of mass in different churches in Baguio and a Baguio map. Good thing we didn’t buy a map. Hee-hee.
There are also those “little hotel freebies” like soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, paper slippers, coffee, sugar and creamer. A broadsheet is delivered every morning at the door step.
Each guest has a complimentary breakfast at Café Veniz, located at the Mezzanine. To avoid waiting, you have to call the café first to place your order so your breakfast will be served once you come to the café.
Now, some glitches at Hotel Veniz.
The elevator does not have access to the fourth floor guest rooms. We had to go to the fifth floor to use the elevator. But, I think that’s ok since at least we had some exercise.
On our second day, we had a problem with our magnetic key card. It was not working! The Cook had to go to the Front Desk and have them re-program it. This happened thrice during our stay.
All in all, I highly recommend Hotel Veniz. When we go back to Baguio, this is the hotel where we will be staying again.
