The Eurotel is very coveniently situated just a short ten minutes walk away from Baguio's city centre and the lovely Burnham Park too. Eurotel has many good points,but there were quite a few niggles which displeased me somewhat during my stay.
Our reasonably sized room (No.410) for our eight night stay at the beginning of March was located on the 4th floor and it was accessed by two lifts and an adjacent staircase. It was nicely decorated and it was quite comfortable and clean and we slept well at nights in our twin bedded air conditioned room. Plenty of storage space was provided in the large wardrobe as well as spare bedding for use should one become cold overnight which was a useful and sensible provision. The lighting could be controlled from your bedside which was most convenient. There was no courtesy tray provided however.
I'm sorry, but now the grumbles start...... Housekeeping was non existant, our room not being serviced nor waste bins emptied etc. at all during the duration of our stay - In fact when my wife requested a change of towels after a few days, fresh towels were given only after the hotel had stubbonly delayed her request by 24 hours forcing my wife to demand a towel change the next day directly from the housekeeping supervisor which is wholly unacceptable.
The room's ensuite bathroom was OK but it was completely spoilt by the fact that it had been designed as a wetroom, but which unfortunately failed to drain the water away promptly after a shower had been taken (the floor was still soaking wet the next morning,) hence when you entered the room later on it more often than not had a very wet floor (and a slippery surface too, I might add) and upon leaving the bathroom, even after just having used the toilet your feet or slippers were soaking wet, although fortunately there was a mat provided just outside the bathroom to soak up the worst on exiting.
The television provided in the room had many english speaking channels which was all to the good - but the remote control generally only activated the TV from a foot or so away from the actual TV set which rather defeated the object of having a remote control at all,and as the remote's battery cover was missing I did feel that the remote control was rather overdue either for replacement or for the fitment of new batteries, and I must admit to getting rather fed up with having to get out of bed to change channels and turn the television on and off.
Although Eurotel advertises itself as a businessmens' hotel the safe deposit box in our room did not function,and upon requesting a change to another room where this facilty was available, I was informed that the safe deposit boxes did not work in any of their rooms at all. The lack of a working safe deposit box was a cause of concern to us as we had no desire to lose our passports on the other side of the world to where we live - despite having checked beforehand on the internet booking sites and found that safe deposit boxes were meant to be available at the Eurotel.
On a brighter note the internet connection in our room was excellent (one of the best that I've come across so far in a hotel if I'm to be honest) - we had a fast connection at all times during our stay, and we didn't suffer from any outages at all, so I was extremely pleased with this aspect of the Eurotel's service.
My wife and I visited Baguio City so that my wife could visit her parents who live not so far away, but unfortunately I discovered beforehand when attempting to book us a suitable hotel coinciding with the dates allocated by her workplace that the annual 'Baguio Flower Festival' clashed with the dates of our visit and that our first choice of hotel was already fully booked, hence I had to consider other hotel options. In fact, I had already declined to book one hotel located in the same road as the Eurotel because it was truthful enough to state on their online booking sites that their rooms did not have any windows, and an exterior view is a most essential 'must have' for myself. As Trip Advisor and other booking sites all have inferred on their websites through their photographs that the Eurotel rooms did have windows, I subsequently booked a standard twin room at the Eurotel which had vacancies but I was somewhat dismayed and rather annoyed to discover upon my arrival later that my Eurotel room did not have any outside windows.
Apart from these difficulties that we encountered which possibly might well not bother you too much as I do appreciate that we all have differing needs and priorities when booking hotels. However I can with respect only advise you of my own hotel experiences based upon my own personal needs. observations and expectations, so in addition to what I've already said I must therefore out of all fairness add that the Eurotel was not all bad news and that it is a reasonable hotel if one is prepared to make allowances ... It is conveniently located and a really good breakfast with many choices was served daily between 6am and 10am on the ground floor. Evening meals too which are quite acceptable are served at fair prices, and we found all the staff to be most courteous and helpful at all times. The public areas of the hotel were kept extremely clean at all times.
The prices are not horrendous either - Check the prices out online for yourselves, I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised.
I don't truthfully know whether I'd consider staying at the Eurotel in Baguio again as it has both good and bad points.....But in a room without any windows? - 'NO THANKYOU!'
