Ganduyan Inn

The popular, 3-storey Ganduyan Inn, managed by couple Marina and Hanzel Biag, is located at the very center of town.  One of the very earliest guest houses in Sagada, part of the building incorporates the re-opened Ganduyan Museum and Ganduyan Souvenirs.  It has spartan rooms with twin beds and a private bath with hot water (PhP750 per day) as well as rooms with common bath.
