The Property — Hotel Veniz
Hotel Veniz is a reliable three-star in the centre of Baguio, just off Session Road. The lobby feels like a functional bus station with a bit of pine-wood warmth – nothing fancy, but it’s clean, efficient and staff are briskly helpful. Rooms are basic but well-maintained; the USP is simply location and price. Best for budget travellers and families who want to be within walking distance of Burnham Park and the market, and don’t need frills.
Chronicles of Baguio
Baguio was established in 1900 as a hill station by the American colonial government, who wanted a cool retreat from Manila’s heat. Architect Daniel Burnham designed the city with wide roads and a central park, drawing heavily on the City Beautiful movement. The Tudor-style cottages and pine trees gave it the nickname 'City of Pines'. Today, Baguio is a bustling hub of higher education, a weekend escape for Metro Manila residents, and home to a strong Igorot cultural presence, seen in the annual Panagbenga Flower Festival.
Best Time to Visit
Full Baguio guide →Best months
March and April before the summer rains arrive; clear skies and the Panagbenga floats are still on display in early March. December is also good for crisp cold and Christmas lights, but it gets crowded.
Peak / festival surge
March (Panagbenga) and the Christmas-New Year period are the busiest. Hotel prices can double. Panagbenga alone draws hundreds of thousands; Session Road closes for parades and street parties.
Budget shoulder season
May and June – cheaper rooms, fewer visitors, still relatively dry, and the strawberry season is finishing up. August is also quiet but expect afternoon showers.
Weather & packing
Even in July, Baguio can drop to 16°C at night, especially after rain. Pack a water-resistant jacket and a light fleece or long-sleeve top – you’ll need both layers by evening.
Live City Briefing — Baguio
- The Baguio City Public Market underwent a major renovation in 2025; stalls are better organised but some vendors have moved – check the new layout for fresh strawberries and ube jam.
- Session Road’s weekend pedestrianisation (car-free Sundays) now runs year-round, 6am–12pm – great for walking to the hotel but traffic diverts onto side streets those mornings.
- July is rainy season: expect afternoon thunderstorms almost daily. The city’s flood drainage was improved in 2024 but some lower roads (like near Burnham Lake) still pool water after heavy downpours.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Veniz, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request

Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance or lift, as they may experience traffic noise and vibrations from the lift.
Best views
Since the hotel's address is on Abanao Street, rooms on the higher floors may offer views of the city, but it's unlikely to be a scenic view.
Quietest floors

🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on Abanao Street means that rooms may experience street noise, especially during peak hours. The service entrance and lift areas may also produce some noise.
Insider tips
1. Request a room with a window that faces away from Abanao Street to minimize noise. 2. If you have a lot of luggage, consider requesting a room near the lift on the higher floors for easier access.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
