The Property — EEKOS HOTELS
EEKOS HOTELS is a modern, no-fuss 3-star in Baguio’s central business district, a ten-minute walk from Session Road. The lobby feels bright and clean, with a small seating area, coffee corner, and front desk staff who check you in quickly. Rooms are compact but fresh, with good Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and blackout curtains — it suits a solo traveller focused on work or events, or a couple who want a quiet, functional base rather than resort-style amenities.
Chronicles of Baguio
Baguio was established in 1900 by the American colonial government as a hill station escape from Manila’s heat. Architect Daniel Burnham designed the city’s layout, with wide roads, parks, and a central plaza that still shapes its grid. The 1970s and 80s saw rapid growth, but the city preserved its pine-tree avenues and the iconic Burnham Park. Today Baguio is the Philippines’ summer capital, a dense hub of universities, markets, and the warm hospitality that comes from a century of hosting weekenders.
Best Time to Visit
Full Baguio guide →Best months
March, April and May – the end of the dry season means minimal rain, daytime temperatures around 22–26°C, and thinner crowds on weekdays. The Panagbenga Flower Festival finishes in March, so early March is busiest, but by April the city quietens down and hotel rates ease.
Peak / festival surge
December, January and February – the coolest months (13–20°C) coincide with Christmas/New Year festivities and the Panagbenga Flower Festival (February). Hotel prices double or triple; book six months ahead. Thousands of visitors come for the flower floats, street dancing and Christmas market.
Budget shoulder season
June, July and August – the rainy season is in full swing, with daily downpours, but room rates drop 30–50%. You’ll get mild humidity (20–24°C), fewer tourists, and fresh mountain views after storms. Ideal for budget travellers who don’t mind wet walks and packed a raincoat.
Weather & packing
Baguio has a cool subtropical highland climate: daytime highs rarely exceed 26°C even in summer, but after 5pm it drops to 16–18°C. Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket and a warm fleece or sweater — you’ll need both layers regardless of season.
Live City Briefing — Baguio
- Session Road is undergoing a two-month pedestrianisation trial until August 2026, with vehicle-free weekends from Friday to Sunday. Cars can’t park along the strip; accessible via taxi drop-offs at the top and bottom ends.
- The Baguio City Market’s second floor food court reopens in June 2026 after a six-month renovation, adding more seating and a new good food cooperative offering local ube jam and strawberry taho.
- New speed bumps and one-way traffic rules on Harrison Road near Burnham Park came into effect in May 2026; taxis from the hotel now take a slightly longer route to the park, adding about five minutes to the journey.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to EEKOS HOTELS, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request upper corner rooms facing away from the main road—likely the back side of the building—to minimise street noise and get more natural light.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms on the first two floors near the lobby or any adjacent bar/restaurant area; street-level rooms facing Baguio's main roads will suffer traffic noise.
Best views
Rooms on the upper floors facing away from the main road may offer views over low-rise buildings toward the mountains; ask for a south-facing upper room for potential city/mountain glimpses.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and above (if the building has at least 5 floors); higher floors are further from street-level activity.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise from Baguio's often-congested main roads (Session Road area) is the primary concern; early-morning traffic and jeepneys can be loud on lower floors.
Insider tips
1) Ask for a room on a high floor (4th or above) and away from the lift to reduce corridor noise. 2) Request late check-in or early check-out flexibility to avoid lobby crowds—this is common for 3-star hotels in busy tourist spots like Baguio.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

💡 Go early on weekdays to avoid crowds. Boat rentals are cheapest before 9am. Bring your own snacks—vendors around the lake charge double.
💡 Come with cash in small denominations. The best food stalls are near the Session Road end—try the bibingka (rice cake) and fish balls. Arrive by 10pm for the newest stock.
