Considered the “summer capital” of the Philippines for its relatively cooler—even cold—temperature regardless of the season of the year, Baguio City remains the go-to location by many. Despite most of the country being known for its warm climate, the city of Baguio enjoys its unique privilege as a place of chill thanks to its many verdant trees and high elevation atop the Cordillera mountain.
For a society that finds the heat as an inconvenience, the chilly city of Baguio is flocked by people from different locations, particularly those from lower areas, essentially making it a melting pot of sorts.
But Baguio City is more than just a preferred place of stay for its relative coolness. For short-term tourists, a mountain resort city is also a place for recreation with the likes of Burnham Park, Baguio Botanical Garden, Tree Top Adventure, etc. as some of the highlights to visit in the place.
For business-minded who are seeking to find a lucrative source of income, Baguio is an attraction for entrepreneurs and investors within the region. As a place of commerce, this metropolis thrives for its big retail industry, consequently making it a place of bargain with its local market. This is not to mention that this independence is also a commercial hub for all of the province of Benguet.
On the one hand, Baguio is also a magnet of people from far-flung places as evidenced by its burgeoning hospitality business as seen on the many establishments centered on it. However, as a caveat, foods in the city are not necessarily cheap, even those which can be bought from the market.
As a result of the culmination of all these appealing factors, it does not come off as a surprise why the city of Baguio has steadily risen to fame as an ideal location in a country commonly beset by heat unless there is rainfall.
1. Lani’s Place Baguio
Lani’s Place Baguio may sound like a typical household developed for leasing for cheap. Yet, contrary to the notion, this establishment is not your run-of-the-mill house built from the ground-up to make easy buck AirBNB style—the house’s design seems to have undergone serious thinking before building to think it so.
During the daytime, this special building is colorful given the contrasting hodgepodge of light brown, green, and red. Come nighttime, it gleams with light from the inside. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE

2. Kisad Transients
Strategically situated in proximity not too far from some of Baguio’s tourist locations, the Kisad Transients makes for an easy choice for tourists who visit the city for the first time.
Similar to other businesses of its kind, the quality of stay within Kisad Transients depends on how deep your pocket is and how much you are willing to pay for a temporary place of stay. Bigger and better rooms (with more amenities) significantly cost more than the cheapest room. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 70 Kisad Rd, Baguio, 2600 Benguet
3. F7 Baguio Transient House
Fancy may not be the motif to which the F7 Baguio Transient House may revolve around. But if you are only seeking a temporary refuge to rest a tired body with, the F7 Baguio Transient House makes for a viable solution.
For an establishment that rests on the idea of affordability over classiness, the F7 Baguio Transient House is very simplistic and may depict the average household at its best. If anything, this is a decent setting for a backpacker who prefers to enjoy the adventure with just a place of stay for a night’s rest. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 237 Purok 2 Lower West, Baguio, Benguet
4. Dream Transient Rooms
Simple but not to a point of being close to shabby, the Dream Transient Rooms is almost the epitome of minimalist design. Why, after all, go for excessive decoration when what all customers want is a functional room to stay?

5. Pam’s Transient House
Situated in an area around 190 meters from the nearby bus terminal—Victory Liner—Pam’s Transient House may have entrenched itself as somewhat symbolic in the hospitality business.
Although this simple-looking transient house is not one endowed with much glamor in terms of ornamentations, it is spacious enough—if need be—to accommodate a few or more people in a single room and it provides the right amenities to make the stay comfortable and functional.
The nearest tourist sites in the area are Burnham Park and the Mines View Park at 1.1 km and 1.2 km, respectively. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 23 R. Villalon St, Baguio, 2600 Benguet
6. Kiyomi’s Transient House
Do not let the name of this family-owned establishment into thinking that it is of Japanese theme—it is not. Not minding the house’s name, this is actually true-to-Pinoy simple household style, more or less hinted from the exteriors.
Although simplicity is the building’s major theme—and possibly its weakness as far as a design choice—it instead makes up for a superb, homely customer service which makes it appealing to certain types of clients. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 12 Badihoy, Baguio, Benguet
7. Transient Guesthouse Baguio
Yet another good option to consider when seeking a budget-friendly to stay with oneself, a partner, or a group of people, the Transient Guesthouse Baguio offers a simple and basic room for everybody.
There is a good reason why establishments of this nature appeal to certain customers, however. Not all of them are expected to stay within their rooms for an extended period unless during the nighttime of sleep. Why spend the daytime in the room when much of Baguio makes for an adventure that visitors would especially enjoy? CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 14-E Balacbac Road Central Barangay Sto. Tomas Proper, Baguio City
8. Kafagway Guest House
Beauty in simplicity. This is perhaps one good statement to describe the interiors of Kafagway Guest House which is a contrast to its less impeccable exteriors. But this establishment is not one to indulge in the overabundance of ornamentation for aesthetics, however.
With just the right set of colors, furniture, and a few other embellishments, the Kafagway Guest House possibly epitomizes the very idea which describes it.
It might be at some considerable distances away from the nearest tourist spots in Baguio, but if you are looking for a place to stay that is quaint and picture-worthy, the Kafagway Guest House has got to be it. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE

9. Rdj Transient Rooms
When your only purpose at going to Baguio is to visit its many tourist destinations as possible, lodging is typically only secondary. If you are this type of tourist, the chance is good that you are not too picky about finding rooms as a place of sleep.
The Rdj Transient Rooms is an establishment known for its “Spartan-like” minimalist design. Who needs excessive decors in one’s sleeping room, right?
However, each room is properly equipped with the right amenities that make the stay comforting, to say the least. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE

10. Le Monette B&B
For one to cherish datedness and simplicity, do not expect to find the latest trends in amenities with the Le Monette B&B. This is not a world-class hotel, after all.
Of course, establishments like this were not touted for their amazing interiors. But if you are only seeking a roof over your head and your companions with you, the Le Monette B&B is not necessarily a bad choice for a transient house to stay in. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE

11. Baguio Guest House Camp 7
If there is one color which is remarkably Baguio Guest House Camp 7, it is that of the pale color of green. From the outside to the inside, much about this establishment is of this coloration.
Like many houses of its kind, especially around Baguio, this establishment is also that of being plain whose ostensive selling point is good customer service and a comfortable place to stay. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 52 Tony Agpaoa Dr, Baguio, Benguet
12. Guesthaven Baguio Bed and Breakfast
Simplicity may be the dominating theme for most of the affordable hospitality establishments in the heart of Baguio City but it does not mean that some—like the Guest Haven Baguio Bed and Breakfast—can not deviate a little and give customers a more pampered short while experience.
True to this notion, Guest Haven Baguio Bed and Breakfast is more than just a place of comfort, it is also a visual treat. The interior design is stylish while not being too exuberant in the embellishing details. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE

13. Inn Rocio
If there is anything that could describe the Inn Rocio is that it is a business that truly means business. From the exteriors to the interiors, the Inn Rocio is designed in such a way that it allures customers to stay.
But unlike others in the business, the Inn Rocio is not one to boast of beauty based on excessiveness. Rather, through the meticulous and perfect mix of shapes and colors that it stands as visually pleasing.
Yet, again, the quality of the room you could get—in terms of aesthetics—would still vary significantly to the type you are willing to lease for a while. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 68 Kisad Rd, Baguio, 2600 Benguet
14. Minesview Guesthouse
Located not too far off from some of Baguio’s tourist attractions, the Minesview Guesthouse is just 5 minutes away from the park of the same name as well as Camp John Hay, Mansion House, and Wright Park.

As a temporary shelter, the Minesview Guesthouse offers a variety of rooms that range from the simple to the quainter. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: Mines View Park, Baguio, Philippines
15. La Casa Bianca
If there is anything that can describe the La Casa Bianca, it is that it’s simply beautiful yet outstandingly pleasing. In fact, this notion is probably best explained in the two facets of this quaint establishment: an ornamented exterior meant to attract curious customers and pure and clean-looking rooms which were aimed at rendering relaxation.
But simple as it may be, La Casa Bianca is remotely Spartan. It, too, appreciates a few embellishments that add beauty to its otherwise clean simplicity. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: Leonard Wood Rd, Baguio, Benguet
16. Old Orangewood Bed and Breakfast
When most transient houses at Baguio are only concerned with servicing a handful of people at the most, these establishments are built only of rooms as places for the clients to stay in as they choose. But not Old Orangewood Bed and Breakfast.
With the understanding that groups of people who chose temporary refuge in Baguio are also ones to conduct activities like celebrations and seminars, Old Orangewood Bed and Breakfast allots a vacant room for which an event could place, respecting privacy—Functional Hall.
Random individuals may be one thing as customers in this establishment, people in flocks with the purpose of making a social gathering are another. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: 20 F.Gomez Street, Lower P.Burgos, Baguio, 2600 Benguet
17. Iggy’s Inn
Plainness may have been the prevailing theme for most transient houses in Baguio to provide clients an affordable place to lodge. But Iggy’s Inn, though sounding like a family house-turned-inn, is not one of them.
This establishment simply knows how to appreciate ornamentations, typically displayed around the lobby for the customers to be entertained with. It is truly quite unusual to come across a transient house in Baguio that features figurines and paintings as part of its interior design. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
Address: South Drive, Baguio, 2600 Benguet
18. 1896 Bed and Breakfast
Who says you cannot be classy when staying in a transient house in Baguio? It is when you choose to stay at the 1896 Bed and Breakfast.
But do not make the wrong impression. This place is not as classical in the sense that it sounds. In fact, it seems to be more in touch with the present with its employ of modern hardware.
By “classic,” it meant staying at a posh place that would otherwise be plain and simple. CHECK HOUSE RATES HERE
