What an amazing service and food at Spiral! It wasn't changed after pandemic. Kudos to the BEST BARTENDER in Sofitel, Jocel! She assisted us on choosing what's best Gin Tonic and taught us about the food and G&T pairings as well. Overall we enjoyed our dinner at spiral with my hubby. Will definitely comeback.
excellent location right on top of burnham park, altough we opt for aircon rooms the temp of the entire place is cold. Hotel staff were very accomodating and courteous and check in was swift @ 11pm even though their advise was 2pm. Breakfast was very good with more than 5 menu and salad n fruits were provided adequately with regular refills.
Currently visiting Baguio and staying at the hotel as part of a tour with family. This review is specifically to recognize the Staff nurse who helped me and my son when he had to go to the hospital due to a stomach bacterial infection.
Nurse May Ann evaluated my son at the hotel and she recommended we bring him directly to the St. Louis Hospital since he was in a lot of pain. The rest of family already left on a tour so she accompanied myself and my son to the ER. She stayed with us and helped me submit lab samples, purchase prescription medications and everything else. She was especially helpful during the triage checkin process to make sure he is taken cared of immediately.
I am very thankful to her and the Venus Parkway hotel for keeping staff with Nurse May Ann’s dedication and sincerity.
I ddnt stay at the hotel but i did try their breakfast
Buffet. Twas above average for hotels in Baguio. Loved their waffles, and i appreciate that they have an egg station cause not all hotels with breakfast buffet have one. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of variety in the buffet table only cornbeef longganiza and fried bangus. I would still recommend it for the price,salads and waffles.
This hotel is one of several hotels right next to the historic Burnham Park, and is very near to another hotel I reviewed on this very site, Inn Rocio. I recently stayed here for work. How do I feel about it?
The room was reasonably comfortable, if a little small, and I didn't really like the fact that the closet for clothes was right next to the bed because it created some issues opening the closet door. Before the COVID-19 pandemic I wasn't very particular about things like this but nowadays it is important to me to be able to set aside clothes that have been exposed to the environment outside, so the fact that the closet is right next to the bed and difficult to open is a bit of a minus for me.
The food is all right but not spectacular. There was a reasonable variety to the dishes served over the three days of my stay. Of course, I appreciated the free-flowing Benguet coffee at the conference room, as well as the very spacious venue, where social distancing was easy to implement.
The best part, though, was how remarkably close the hotel was to every major location in Baguio City. Burnham City, Session Road and SM were all within walking distance, while all of the other major locations that I could think of, like Wright Park, the Botanical Gardens, the Baguio Mansion, Mines View Park, the Good Shepherd Convent, and Camp John Hay were all within driving distance, even for a person with a sense of direction as terrible as mine.
As a staging point for a comprehensive tour of Baguio City, it's hard to do better than this. Just don't expect much by way of food though the desserts are pleasant and very affordable.
