AOSMEC Square Hotel

Buyer beware.. Classic bait & Swich tactics! Baits you with beautiful photos and good prices but the reality is far from the advertisement.. Booked for 8 days, but couldn't stay past 3rd day (no refund of course) 👎

Bait & Swich.. You need to know the beautiful locations on the photos are nowhere to be found! No pool on property (as description leads you to believe).. Shower & Television not working until late next day.. Ants in bathroom sink.. List goes on.. Had 8 days paid for in advance, stayed for 3 and checked out (of course no refund) but couldn't pay me enough to stay there for another day!! Great learning experience for myself..

Where do I start. First the room I paid for and what I got was different. But was asked if I wanted to upgrade to a family room that I paid for, for an additional fee. There was supposed to be a pool. But that was at another location and would cost to get in. Also the room they put me in was on the third floor. Directly across from the roof of another building and was sweating the whole time with the small window unit A/C working non stop on full blast. The breakfast I paid for had a limited menu to begin with. But all the choices were never available and got less and less each day. Then the parking situation wasn’t ideal either. The guy working night shift never seemed to be happy about us arriving or leaving. And that says a lot for this area. Almost every one I interacted with during my stay was very pleasant. Also if you were had to park behind someone that got ready to leave before you they have to wake you up to make you move. I drive a semi for a living and I’ll say the parking is not for the weak at heart of tight spaces. Plus if you see the owner hanging don’t bother speaking to him he really doesn’t care about his guests. Don’t waste your time or money on this place.

Very far

Need updates and repairs Rooms are not very clean or well maintained

Clean place great staff

Property was fair but not first class and needs a lot of maintenance and repairs Staff were excellent and very friendly

There were mosquitoes and flying cockroaches in the room. Wi-Fi did not work in the room. Other than mosquito bites and cockroaches running all over the bed everything else was okay. Total cost for the room was $23 USD. If you're on a tight budget and don't mind sharing the room with insects and don't need Wi-Fi this is the place for you.

nice hotel

Great hotel for the price. No hot water.

A real home style feeling, everything convenient

Can say enough good things about this hotel. Really great the service, room, cleanliness, all wonderful. For the price it can’t be beat.

Staff was super attentive and friendly. The place had a guard due to the business of the street. The area is a bit sketchy at night but overall safe with a friend. Reviews are correct in saying how the noise is crazy loud ant night and only a thin blanket. But for the price it’s 100 percent more than worth it. Will use again .

This place did not have water and the only thing they give you is a sheet no blanket. It is not the best place to stay for the money.

Traffic and busy area. It took 2 hours to reached the cebu city. The aircon is not giving adequate cooling to the room.

Great value for a single traveller on a budget.

I cannot give a bad review because the place is extremely cheap. You get what you pay for. Staff is kind. I took away a star because the breakfast is a joke. They tell you you can pick between rice and pancake. But if you choose the pancake you get 3 very small ones and do not get any meat. Also they only give one egg with breakfast, despite the world wide standard being 2 eggs. It was almost weird the way they was so stingy with breakfast. But hey the place is as cheap as a hostel and you get your own room. So I connot really complain.

Comfortable enough a busy area plenty of tricycles offering service

It is what it is and you get what you pay for. It's a budget 2 star hotel and as such dont expect 4 star comforts. It's local standards, lots of locals go there, as do budget travellers. As such it's good, and has a cafe on premises which makes it convenient.

The family room is quite expensive and the bathroom in it is in very poor condition. Rusty tap and shower head, no hair dryer, only cold water. The standard room is ok. We have to wait over an hour to get breakfast as the family members are the priority, not the guests. Also, we ordered juice and got iced tea without telling us that is not available. The breakfast included in the room price is very small. No complain with the staff helpfulness.
