Hotels Near Mt. Caniao View Deck in Ilocos Sur

The Vegan Plaza Hotel is situated in the best location - at the beginning of Calle Chrisilogo street. It is convenient and easy to get around to any place from here. The kalesa (horse and carriage) and the tricycles are located right in front of the hotel. The fountain is a 7 min walk from here and an 8 min ride to the bus station. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and helpful. Anything that you requested was seen to immediately and with a smile. Breakfast was ok, there should be more variety. They provide in room massage which was great. They have 2 restaurants which provides a a variety of local dishes. Bathroom is little small in size, however, the shower was awesome. This is a very good hotel and I would certainly stay here again when I come to Vigan. Wonderful stay.

The hotel is located in the center of the ancient city, and the facilities are fairly complete, but compared with other big-name boutique hotels, the facilities are outdated. If it is fully renovated and a better management team is introduced, this location can definitely create the best hotel in Vigan. It can only be said that the decoration is not as good as Home Inn, the service level is not bad, and the English level of the service staff is relatively high. The breakfast is not a buffet, it is a la carte, the quality is not very good, the coffee is extremely bad, I failed the food and drink, and it needs to be greatly improved.

Hotel Mercante was such a great part of my fun, peaceful, safe, educational, and rejuvenating stay in Vigan (Jan. 29-31, 2024). I had been skeptical at first about the 4.5 (out of 5) average rating that the hotel has received so far from Trip Advisor reviewers. After all, there are many other more popular (higher-rated and understandably higher-priced) options for accommodations in the city. But having enjoyed the Hotel Mercante experience myself, I do recommend the place for no-fuss travelers like me, who simply want a safe, clean, quiet, and efficiently run hotel. More than the basic amenities, however, there is something truly commendable about the hotel’s staff and management, with their warmth, care, and professionalism. Of course, hotel employees are trained to smile and to be polite, helpful, and efficient. But in my interactions with the Hotel Mercante team, I sensed a sincerity and an unobtrusive desire to be of assistance that is beyond the call of duty. Early on (before I had even set foot in Vigan or met anyone there in person), I had been relieved and grateful for the prompt and kind email responses I got from Hotel Mercante while I was searching online for accommodation options. I had emailed other hotels, but the responses from HM (particularly, Solenn and Sofie, Front House Associates) were not only prompt but also written in the friendliest and most professional tone. They courteously and clearly answered all my email inquiries. They were also considerate enough to offer the best room-rate options available, which meant a lot to a 60-year-old solo traveler like me. I also had fun getting some quick lessons on basic Ilocano phrases from Stan (the night guard, who welcomed me when I arrived early in the morning) and Sean (front desk officer, though perhaps his position may be higher—I met him the day I was leaving). “Agyamanak, ading!” (Thank you, young man/woman) and “ag pagna pagna” (just strolling or walking around to relax and enjoy the sights) will, from now on, be part of the limited Ilocano vocabulary close to my heart. I am also grateful to Sarah (front desk), Steve (housekeeping), Paige (Cantina Mercante), Shea, Suzy, and others whose names I wasn’t able to get. For solo travelers and for families or groups, Hotel Mercante is value for your money. But most of all, it is value for your (even more precious) time and trust. It may not be the most popular or most expensive/trendy/classy hotel in Vigan, but all I really needed was a place for homey, clean, safe, quiet, reasonably priced and very conveniently located accommodations—with excellent service and heartwarming staff. And I definitely, thankfully, got all that at Hotel Mercante.

You have to be alert to spot the location of this hotel. Aside from a big sign with its name all you can see is an old house. You have to enter a gate at the back of the old house where you will find this hotel. The 24 hour reception desk is located at the foot of the steps leading to the rooms. Its more like an apartment complex with studio apartments The rooms are pretty basic and worth what we paid for which was below Php 2k.If you just want an inexpensive place to lie your head down after visiting Vigan this place might suit you.DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH!

So accommodating si mommy. We arrived at 1am yet Sobrang maasikso. 🥰❤️ Will surely be back so soon 👏👏👏

Hotel is situated on top of the mountain so the climate is cooler. They have fantastic view of uncorrupted mountains and if you're lucky, you'll get to witness a sea of clouds. Place is clean, staff and owner are nice and we love their Sinampalukang Manok as well. Internet is a challenge in most places in Sagada. Net was down on our first night but the owner made sure to lend us a different wifi router. Sagada town proper is approximately 5 km away and it's a lovely walk if you're up to it. This place here is a winner. Reminders: -Globe data is very slow, not sure about other providers. -download movies bring books to kill time at night just in case net is down. - room is simple but spacious. Bring your own toiletries since they run out of these when we were there. - I didn't notice public transportations so im not sure how this will work for guests w/o private vehicle. Town proper is approx 5 km away. -During our visit, most of the restaurants in the town proper are closed. The staff can cook for the guests but the options are limited since tourism is not yet back to 100% at the time. - bring water heater so you can prepare coffee and instant noodles. Also make sure to have food. The hotel kitchen and the rest of the restaurants in the town proper close at around 7pm.
