Hotel Luna Review

Vigan is now named as one of the 7 New Wonder Cities of the World and if you are planning to visit Vigan anytime, I suggest you book a room at Hotel Luna.

Hotel Luna is located a few steps away from the famous cobblestone street, Calle Crisologo. The perfect place to relax after a day of touring Vigan or walking the famous calle.

Hotel Luna

This is the entrance of the hotel. The hotel is fairly new but the design matches those of the old houses in Vigan. Upon entrance, you’d be impressed how the hotel maintains the “old” aura. Even the Hotel rooms have the ancestral feel, bathroom included!

This is the lobby of the hotel. With this architecture, it’s not too hard to imagine your receptionist to be in her Maria Clara dress. As you enter the hotel, you’ll notice the many artworks displayed in almost every corner. There are paintings, sculptures and art installations to marvel at.


The left and right view outside our room.

And this is the view from outside our room (view below). The pool area is quite small but the kids had fun in the pool. I had fun too.. and you know it means big. I didn’t worry that much though the pool was 4 feet deep. Sati and Chico just stayed at the pools steps. The kids also had fun with the waterfalls effect on the right side of the pool (the one that is not in the photo) and the changing pool lights.

As I have mentioned in my Vigan post (read: Vigan Travel Experience), we had a corner room at Hotel Luna. Our room was really big, spacious and very homey. I love that it is carpeted. I have a thing with floors.. and any carpeted floor is my new bff.

Here’s the photo of the room:

See how big it was (the glass door over there leads to the bathroom). Not in this picture is the vanity area and coffee table.

This is is the bathroom..which was a bit cramped. I actually had a problem with the sink being that near the toilet bowl.

 

the other side is the bath area..

And this is the fun part! Imagine an ancestral looking hotel with this kind of technology inside the bathroom!

Cool di ba? San nakakabili nito? Gusto ko din ng ganitong high tech sa banyo ko haha

More room photos..

We only got to try their breakfast and we’re more than satisfied with the food displayed..

But more than the food, it was their staff at Comedor that is worth mentioning. They are very attentive and courteous and very helpful too!

As mentioned in their website, Hotel Luna is the first and only museum hotel in the Philippines, indeed they are. Although I cannot vouch for the fact that they are the only museum hotel, I can attest to the fact that Hotel Luna is really a museum hotel. Every corner is a place to admire.

At the right side of the hotel lobby is a grand staircase that leads to a grand sala where most art installations and paintings are located. This is also the part of the hotel where the Executive Suite is located.

Our overall experience at Hotel Luna is excellent . And my kids said we should go back at Vigan and stay again at Hotel Luna.

For that trip, I bought two hotel vouchers from Deal Grocer. A night stay at Double Queen Deluxe (with breakfast for 2), for less than $100 USD or 4000 PhP. I booked the room via email and Hotel Luna was very prompt in answering my inquiries and booking my reservation.

Hotel Luna is located at Luna Street, 2300 Vigan, Ilocos Sur

Accommodations vary from Queen Standard, Deluxe, Double Queen Deluxe, Executive Suite to Loft Suite. Accommodation price starts at 3000+ PhP

Venus Parkview Hotel Baguio Review

We love Baguio.. I have said that more than a hundred times. Fur us, Baguio will always be the sweetest and homiest place we could ever be. So when an opportunity to spend 3 nights at Baguio was presented to us, we can’t say no, even though we’re short on budget. And by short, I mean a budget of 7500 PhP for 3 nights at a hotel and 500 PhP per meal (good for 2 adults and 4 kids). Venus Parkview Hotel Baguio Review

First option was to rent a house and just cook.. but I realized we tend to over spend with the ingredients so it would not be wise to do so. Option 2 is to look for a cheap hotel that offers free breakfast! We end up booking at Venus Parkview Hotel because our first ever Baguio trip was spent at this hotel.. and because the location of Venus Parkview is strategic…and because, my two older boys will be checked in at this hotel for their PAPRISA Leadership training

When I checked Venus Parkview Hotel website for rates, Executive Twin without Balcony fits right on our budget and our bed needs. When I called the hotel, without balcony is fully booked. We end up with Executive Twin with Balcony, good thing, we were able to avail a 20% discount, our budget is still on track! yay! But if budget was out of the question (and if the two older boys would be sleeping with us), I’d book a suite because it’s big! And it’s really cheap!

I was a bit surprised when I saw the rooms from the website.. I thought I was looking at the wrong hotel. It was far from what I remembered it to be! MAJOR RENOVATION ON GOING!

Venus Parkview Hotel Baguio Review

This is the facade of the building where we checked in. This is also the part where the temporary reception area is located. Niel, Venus Parkview Hotel’s concierge, told me that the hotel’s new look will be unveiled on February, in time for Panagbenga. Most rooms will look like the one we stayed in and they will fix the cranky elevator soon!

Complimentary drinks were given to us upon arrival…and we were greeted by a room which looks exactly like the one in their website. I have to be honest, I was expecting less as I have mentioned, we stayed here a few years ago and the look was different. The look may be different, but the staff are all the same.. very warm and accommodating!

Check out my review from 2007!

Venus Parkview Hotel Baguio Review

And here’s our room:

I paid 2k+ for this kind of room?!? What a steal! I’m glad we got the one with balcony. I can imagine us spending a New Year’s Eve here, watching the fireworks display right in this room or a weekend during Christmas break. I heard SM Baguio have fireworks display every weekend of December.

The view from our room! Those trees is Burnham Park and as I mentioned in my review years ago, entrance to the playground is just across the hotel. Another reason why I am glad we booked this hotel is I was able to continue my jogging routine without hassle. Burnham Park is very conducive to physical fitness activities. In fact, every 6 AM there are groups of people who are dancing, some groups are doing aerobics, some are doing tai chi. If I am not mistaken, you can join this activities for free, just bring your towel and bottles of water.

Venus Parkview Hotel Baguio Review

Since our two older boys can only join us on our 3rd day, we spend most of our stay tucked in bed or enjoying the view from our room.. and eating salad and strawberries, because that’s what you’re supposed to eat in Baguio right? haha

Venus Parkview Hotel Baguio Review more about the room..

Door. They provide card key, but they only provide one, no big deal for me since we’re travelling as family. For those travelling as a group, this could be a problem.

Condiments area. Good job for the kettle, with that weather, we need our coffee every now and then!

The room we had has no ref or microwave but their Junior Executive Suite room has a ref and a microwave. Considering the rate of the room we booked, I am not expecting for a ref or a microwave.

The bathroom. Clean though small, I never had an issue with the space. Both shower and sink dispense hot and cold water.

I wish they can install a rack or a small mounting inside the shower for the toiletries. They provide a set of toiletries for two people which includes 2 shampoo, 2 lotion, 2 soaps, 2 dental care essentials and 2 sets of cotton buds. I find the containers really cute! Last for the bathroom>> the door can be a pain at times.. so I hope they could fix that soon.

The bed. The size of the bed is perfect for us minus the 2 boys. On our last night, it became a bit crowded with the boys joining us. Note to self>> soon you need to book 2 rooms! The pillows are just right..but the comforter is very comforting! With the weather that time, the comforter did a good job making us comfy!

Dresser/ Table. With a room of this price, I was not expecting that it has an extra space and chair for my needs (and his).

Venus Parkview Hotel Baguio Review

This area serves us really well. Since this trip is a budgeted one, I spent most of the times (aside from sleeping LOL) computing and adjusting our budget.. and this area is my fave place. I can write, compute, have coffee and clean my face. Don’t ask me about make up.. of all the things I can forget, I forgot to pack my make up kit!!

We had flat screen TV with cable. And the room has aircon.

The Food. Free breakfast was included on our room. We had buffet breakfast that includes  3 to 4 breakfast dishes, garlic rice, waffle, fruits, juice and coffee. Nothing special on the food but our tummy were satisfied.

We’ll definitely go back in Baguio and will check again at Venus Parkview Hotel. Maybe next time, we’ll have enough budget for a suite!
