O Hotel atende o custo benefício. Quarto conforme fotos, exceto parte do banheiro onde o box era com cortina o que acabava alagando o banheiro durante o banho. Café da manhã simples, mas bem gostoso.

Habitação confortável conforme anuncio, bom atendimento na recepção, excelente localização próximo à avenida 18 de Julho. Oportunidade de melhoria no café da manhã, poderia estar um pouco mais organizado e limpo. No geral, atendeu à expectativa.

O hotel é bem diferente das fotos que tem no site, tudo bem antigo e muitas coisas não vêm uma manutenção desde 1900... O custo benefício é ok. Como utilizamos o quarto praticamente só para dormir, não posso reclamar muito, até porque, fomos bem atendidos. Mas na qualidade, pecam bastante.

Appearance is misleading...

Although the location was great, the room was kinda small with just a small desk and basically the place to put your luggage. Luckily, I was there only for a few days (two) so, had not much to handle.

Recomendable

Un hotel sin lujos pero que cumple con lo esperado por la relación precio/calidad. Cama cómoda, desayuno bastante variado, estacionamiento incluído en el precio (es en el 5to piso de un parking ubicado a la vuelta del hotel por la misma manzana, es cerrado y con vigilancia las 24 horas, un poco reducido el espacio para maniobrar, si es un vehículo largo, cómo una SUV hay que tener mucho cuidado de no tocar las esquinas y rayar).

Es un hotel muy sucio , las paredes, el tapete, las toallas, las sábanas y cobijas demasiado viejas , el televisor y el aire acondicionado nunca funcionaron y no nos ayudaron con eso.

Me dieron la habitación 310. La cama eran 2 camas de 1 plaza unidas con precintos y los colchones unidos por colchonetas Me termine quedando 2 noches una por la app y otra por el hotel. Gaste 100 dólares y un desastre esa cama VERGÜENZA daba. Tengo fotos! Hice el reclamo al hotel y no tuve respuesta . He ido más de 5 veces y prefiero que me digan que tienen con cama individual que me den ese desastre.cosa que ya me ha pasado reservar matrimonial y que me den individual. Pero nunca esto que fue una vergüenza. El personal de limpieza y cafetería súper atentos, los de recepción solo los de la noche y la mañana. La tarde estaba de charla continua y la atención lamentable.
