ZEN Rooms Basic Camp Allen Rd Baguio - Hostel

The place sits up high and has a view. Rooms are small but still enough, and each one has its own toilet and shower stall. I’d recommend it if you don’t mind walking up a steep road to reach the town market.

The rooms are extremely cramped, poorly ventilated, and the toilets stink. It’s hard to access the place, there isn’t enough parking, and you have to walk 200 meters uphill to get inside Gracious Chi. It’s beside telecom towers that emit strong radiation, so pregnant women should stay away. Camp Allen’s vehicle entrance gates close at 10 pm, but they don’t tell you. You only find out when the camp guard rudely refuses to let your vehicle in after that time.

This is a lovely transient home on a hill, with nice rooms that have kitchenettes. There’s a sari sari store nearby for everyday needs, and the local market is only a few yards away.

It’s near the city proper and the public market.
