Eurotel Araneta Cubao

My husband and I had a terrible experience with this hotel. February 15, 2020. It was night time when we came from Pangasinan by bus and we really had no reservations in any hotel near Cubao so we tried to find a hotel where we can stay for one night. We entered the hotel to do further inquiries we noticed that the receptionist is not quite very welcoming and not smiling at all. When we approached the receptionist in this hotel to ask if they have any available rooms she said they only have one available room which is the suite room for 4000+ PHP per night. My husband and I were already tired so we decided to take the room as we didn’t want to walk further and try to find a room in EDSA as it’s very dangerous to walk during night time in that area. The Eurotel also had Valentine's day promotion for 50% off so we only paid 2000+ PHP. It took so long before they allowed us to get inside the room. Fast forward to when we arrived in the room, we didn't see any towels. We turned on the shower and the heater isn't working. We tried to order foods but it's way too expensive. They will require you to go down the reception to pay for your foods before you will get in your room. No parking space for the customers. It takes hours before the receptionist to answer calls/queries. Rude receptionist. No remote controls for the A/C. My husband and I went down many times to ask help regarding the room because it takes hours before the receptionist answers the call. When we finally spoke to the supervisor he apologized for the bad experience so he tried to lend us the key for a studio room that has a functional shower with heater. I was just so disappointed because THEY LIED TO US. They told us there's no studio room available so we have to take the suite room. They handed us dirty white towels which I think they've used it for years already. Dirty room, dirty bedsheets, noisy people in corridors (employees talking loudly), there are insects, breakfast choices are limited too. We wasted money seriously.

went there for an overnight stay due to late night. paid Php. 1300 for a 12hour stay. window is broken without any secure lock. noise coming from all types of vehicle can be heard from outside even you're on the higher floor. no slippers, no hangers on the cupboard. no foot mat outside the toilet. blanket is thinner than a curtain so it's still feel cold even covered. floors are obviously not clean enough since being barefooted the whole time, dust and dirt are collected under the feet. not much significant in this building. no cables too 😏

The hotel is accessibly located at the corner of Aurora Boulevard and EDSA. They can be reached easily by public transport and if you bring your car, basement parking is readily available. The rooms are quite cheap as they offer upfront discount of 50% when you book through them (I highly suggest booking through Agoda or Trivago -- way much cheaper). The hotel is clean and the lobby is cool and organized. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Most of the bookings they offer have free breakfast. The entre for the breakfast buffet needs improvement though. A nice hotel overall if you need easy access to the Araneta City Business District. Be wary of pickpockets or snatchers near the hotel though police regularly patrol this area.

Reservation - The reservation was booked efficiently and without issue. The Room - The room was plain but expected unfortunately the entire room had a massive stench of urine permeating throughout the place and we tried to get rid of it with perfume and spray; we called the hotel and the cleaning person tried to clean it but also agreed that the smell was unbearable. Nothing had a lasting effect. The cleaning person indicated it was a problem with drains. Requests for a room change were met with "sorry ma'am no rooms left"... The cleaner also made the ridiculous suggestion that we leave the window open with the air con on as an alternative. Customer Experience - The front desk is confusing as it took 3-4 calls to confirm if it was OK to have an external massage person show up as one person said it was fine, then another said it was not and that took 30 minutes to confirm. We also had some issues getting an adapter for the plug, no one called us back. When we called back we were told that the "guy who has one" had already left so, sorry about that but we can't provide it. Had we known that could have sourced one but you know, hotels should really have the ability to cover that sort of thing. In regards to the smell, they said they would "try" to give us another room but we were already trying to find another place to stay as nothing was for sure. Now we are currently asking to have a partial refund for the night we didn't use, since the hotel lost nothing except potential future customers. So far after almost 5 days we have been told by the third party website they are waiting for the hotel to confirm as our original request was "denied". Keeping in mind that the hotel had already told us that could do nothing and we had to go through third party website for a possible refund. That's circle management, no one taking ownership. Someone from management needs to own up, we didn't use their unbearably stinking room so they could theoretically rent it out again and we were only asking for the one night refund versus the entire booking which would have been something that could have been on the table due to this massive negative experience.... We sent an email and correlated with Third party Website/the Hotel but our correspondence was met with nothing. Please avoid this hotel, their website is years old and not updated, and their customer service is non-existent and they will hide behind the broker sites to avoid accountability for customers with negative but fixable situation..

I would like to commend rose of frontdesk, she is helpful and accommodating. We were given eaely check in, thanks much. Room is huge and clean. Good locAtion, close to gateway and edsa. Downsides - breakfast few selections, they did not make up our room and we have to inform them, well were not informed that we should have asked to clean our room. I am a hotelier alao and it ahould be automatic unless we put dnd sign. No wifi for the entire 2nd night, so sad. Tonight is our last night and hoping everything will go well but overall we enjoyed our 3nights stay. Value for money is worthit.
