Chronicles of Baguio
Baguio, the Summer Capital of the Philippines, was founded in 1900 as a hill station for American colonizers seeking refuge from the sweltering heat of Manila. The city's unique blend of American and Filipino influences is evident in its architecture, with a mix of Art Deco and Spanish colonial styles. Baguio's cultural identity is deeply rooted in its history as a melting pot of indigenous Igorot tribes and American expats. The city's famous Burnham Park, designed by American architect Daniel Burnham, is a testament to this blend of cultures. Today, Baguio is a thriving hub for arts and culture, with numerous festivals and events throughout the year.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Lyn's Transient House, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
We recommend requesting rooms on higher floors (above the 5th floor) to minimize the possibility of street noise from Morning Star Road, which can be busy due to its proximity to the city center. Additionally, rooms on the north side of the hotel (facing the mountains) tend to receive more natural light and have a clearer view of the surrounding area.
Rooms to avoid
Guests who are sensitive to noise may want to avoid rooms near the service entrance or lift, as these areas can experience more foot traffic and noise from staff and guests. Rooms on the lower floors (1st-2nd) may also be noisier due to the proximity to the road and potential noise from the nearby businesses.
Best views
Guests with a room on the north side of the hotel (facing the mountains) can expect a clear view of the surrounding area, including the mountains and possibly the nearby Burnham Park.
Quietest floors
The 6th floor and above are likely to be the quietest, as they are farthest from the street and service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel's location on Morning Star Road means that guests can expect some street noise, particularly during peak hours. However, the hotel's layout and higher floors should help mitigate this issue.
Insider tips
Be sure to request a room with a keycard-operated door lock for added security. If you're planning to explore the city, consider asking the front desk for a map or directions to nearby attractions like Burnham Park, which is within walking distance.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
