El Cielito Hotel Baguio — Hotel in Baguio

This is our 2nd time to stay at El Cielito, and it's quickly becoming a favorite. Situated literally at the top of Session Road although car parking is limited - so this is great if you love to walk, and with the Baguio traffic being what it is, you can just walk down Session Road and buy your souvenirs and vegetables at the market downtown, then just take the jeepney going back up to El Cielito.

Their staff is very helpful and will do their best to meet your requirements - we got a room upgrade for my mom with a wheelchair and got adjoining rooms. We even got to use the hotel wheelchair while in the hotel.

Love the complimentary water dispensers on every floor - and the daily complimentary breakfast buffet which is limited but filling (best if you like Filipino food - we had lugaw/congee, fried rice, scrambled eggs, longanisa, chicken, pork as options - and they still had the strawberry taho which we had pre-pandemic).

The downside I have here are the rooms have thin walls - so it's easy to hear people talking in nearby rooms and the corridor. So do request to stay away from large groups when you check-in.

But his hotel - is strategically located and great value-for-money for me...

After reading-through many of the hotel’s reviews, we finally settled on this lodging and true enough, the place did not disappoint. The Our Lady of the Atonement Cathedral or better known as The Baguio Cathedral and so with other famous landmarks of Baguio are all of walking distance. ||||The rooms are sized comfortably, complete with fresh linens and towels; toiletries were replenished each day. Hot-and-cold water dispensers are stationed near the rooms where one can refill the glass pitcher provided.||||Buffet breakfast that is being served at the Voyager Bar & Restaurant, offers a mixture of both Asian and English fare. At all times, we chose to eat at the outlet’s veranda for a much better view of its surroundings.||||Given that each day was used up visiting all of Baguio City’s attractions, the hotel served as a respite to cool down and energize for the next activity especially if a lot of walking has transpired.||||My only disappointment was the breakfast charge for seniors, it was not the same. The first charge was for P253 (or so) however, the next day it was for P230 something. I believe that since the price is fixed, the senior’s cost...

FROM DISASTER TO DELIGHT. Neither Agoda nor the hotel informed us of the requirements for travel to Baguio. As a result, we were stuck at a checkpoint for 1 ½ hour trying to hastily arrange the needed paperwork. This time sucking inconvenience and hassle would have been avoided had the hotel let us know before travel that we needed to visit a website and upload copies of licenses etc. (there had been various personal emails between us). The Covid requirements were very proforma, all easily provided and accomplished but not when you are stuck on a mountain road at a checkpoint with barely an internet signal. I was furious. This was a screw-up. When I arrived at the hotel. The manager came to speak to me. She took responsibility. We worked out a reasonable settlement. She did her job in spades. I was so impressed. And I let her know. So, yes – stay in this hotel. The staff care, make adjustments and take responsibility when they screw up. The room was fine. TV worked very well – had premium channels and good reception. This hotel is run by someone who cares about their service and their...
