The Podium Boutique Hotel Reviews

Clean hotel, friendly staff and has a prking lot but the location is a bit far from the center

Great service from the hotel staff. They provided ironing amenities and blower upon request. I even called at 5am to ask for toiletries and dental care on our last day and they were able to provide. The premises was clean and the location is out from the city but there’s a lot of taxis passing by so it’s not hard to go to the city. From our room I had a view of the sunrise.

Booked 3 rooms for me and my family. The location was somehow far from the center, and the parking space was quite small. Nevertheless, the staff was really welcoming and accommodating, the rooms were spacious and clean. The lobby on the 2nd floor was great for working and chilling. Will recommend to friends and relatives who’s visiting Baguio with their own transportation as taxi is quite expensive.

The place was quite good

Clean room. Great housekeeping services. Convenient location, restaurant within the premises

FOOD IS VERY DELICIOUS AND ROOM IS COMFORTABLE

Before checking in, I was told that the room I reserved did not have air conditioning, and that I could be upgraded to a room with air conditioning, and that I would have to pay extra for that. I had no choice but to stay in a room without air conditioning. It was awful.

It was before going to the city, so the air and view were perfect. This is a hotel that does just that. I wish they paid a little more attention to cleanliness. Being alone was no problem at all. Breakfast was also delicious. It's cool.

A find this hotel amazing because they promote the heritage of Baguio, and its artists. Experience wise there are of course good and bad. Good: 1. The staff in the reception are very welcoming and provided complete details for our stay. 2. The lobby’s are clean thank you to kuya. 3. The overall interior of the Hotel is excellent. 4. Free shuttle going to the bus station. Bad: (HOKA BREW) 1. During our dinner we got a dirty utensils. (There is a rice on the middle of the fork. YUCK) 2. Before serving our plates, the staff wiped our plates with her hands. (YUCK) 3. We had to get our food from the counter because no one is around to serve it. Sus. 4. The waiter that served us was on a rush. Almost leaving while we are ordering. (We were asking few questions, she was very cold lol) 5. The kitchen was very visible from the customers. And I saw this one kitchen guy who sneezed without any protection/face mask, and wiped his nose then continued cooking. (Sobrang dugyot) Overall. I find this hotel nice really but the staff really needs retraining. (Customer service and food safety)

The room was not yet ready when we checked in at 17 (5pm), three hours after our check-in time. We even called ahead earlier for a possible early check-in and on the phone confirmed that the room would be ready at 13:30 (1:30pm). Staff was neither friendly nor helpful stating their policy to be either check in at 14 or 17, which is not according to the information provided on the listing nor in the booking confimration. Rooms are clean-ish, but very worn and bathroom was scaly, shower head was very grimey. Very noisy area, live music, nightclub, dogs barking, and chickens. It was hard to sleep with all that noise during the entire night.

We sincerely appreciate your hospitality in accommodating our team during our stay. Everything went exceptionally smoothly, from check-in to check-out. The culinary experience exceeded our expectations, and we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food. Furthermore, we'd like to express our gratitude for your flexibility and efficiency in handling our abrupt booking. Your team's responsiveness and willingness to assist were truly commendable. Overall, our experience at your hotel was outstanding, and we look forward to returning in the future. Thank you for making our stay memorable and hassle-free!

This property has a very small room. You can hardly walk around your bed. You don't have anywhere to place luggage. The floor towel in the bathroom is so dark. I assume they ere washed at one point. The dining is alright. Staffs needs to be trained in customer service. Hardly a smiling face. You have to chase them for a service. The security guard was great though. Very tight space for parking.

There should be a complimentary breakfast for online booking.

Our stay was amazing! Staffs are all friendly from the security guard to the front desk, housekeeping, and room service! They have a good selection of food in Hoka -their on-site restaurant! The room was amazing with the mountain view! Will definitely stay again!
