Another hidden gem in Laoag is this quaint hotel in town -- Balay de Blas.
It's very easy to find. It's where the famous Saramsam Restaurant is located.
It's also near the famous Laoag/La Paz Sand Dunes.
It's just around 15 minutes from the hotel.
Very unique. Definitely we had a very different but nice experience.
Location wise, it's within the city, near everything. Just a little traffic.
The place where we stayed at is like one of the biggest houses during the Spanish time.
Although they have another new building which is modern and minimalist,
you can still choose to stay here and experience the traditional but luxurious rooms in the past.
Tastefully designed and decorated with traditional Filipino furniture and beds and furnishings.
They have this really unique bathroom and you need to stay to experience it.
The room is clean and big and airy.
We have a small veranda in our room but unfortunately the one in the room cant be opened.
Wifi is too weak inside the room (3rd floor), but they let us know that prior checking in.
We were informed that we need to go to the reception area to get strong signal.
Breakfast is not included in our room but we tried it in the Saramsam restaurant and it's ok.
Traditional Ilocano food. Tasty and sufficient for the day ahead.
Staff are nice and friendly.
Parking is sufficient and safe.
There are no elevators available so if you have babies or old folks with you, you need to ask for the lower floors.
Value for money.
Easy checking in and out.
We will definitely coming back.
