Aroldo

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was the bare minimum, with an awful view (a badly decayed wall), the bathroom was very poorly illuminated, the phone was mute, the AC did not work properly, the mini bar was loose, when we opend the door it comes with it, and no amenities, just a bed, a table, and a couple of chairs. The only positive point of this hotel was the heated pool and the area around it. I won't come back to it, despite the reasonable price.

Plaza são Rafael used to be a high standard hotel in Porto Alegre. It is sad and disappointing to see that the rooms are very outdated. AC doesn't work well, WiFi is very spotty, tv is not smart, it is very small and has terrible reception of the few channels available. It seems the cleaning standards are lacking I was in a non smoking room but there was a cigarette butt sitting on the window during my whole stay. Elevators are noisy and old and the breakfast is good but not near impressive as it used to be. I had a capeletti soup from the restaurant and it was tottaly bland.

Hotel ok

Hotel bom, mas com sinais de velho (não antigo). Móveis bens rústicos e passam a sensação de coisa velha. Sugiro uma modernização por exemplo, nas tomadas pra dar um ar de cuidado. Café da manhã ok, e sempre serviram as mesmas coisas nos três dias. Estacionamento acima da média (41 reais por dia) e pode demorar muito a chegada do carro

Horrível

Para hotel que que disseram ser o top de Poa foi muito ruim, pra começar atendimento ruim, pareciam não gostar de atender, como levei doações precisava deixar uma parte ali embaixo sendo que eu iria retirar logo em seguida mas disseram que não podia, porém no site diz guarda de bagagem, tive eu mesma que colocar no carrinho, subir com todo apele peso sozinha e levar pro quarto e depois de 30 min descer com as mesmas coisas, sem nenhum bom senso de ajudarem, mesmo que no site diz guarda bagagem, café da manhã sem muitas opções, opções variadas só de pães mesmo, o ar condicionado não esquenta, quando perguntei falaram q era por causa do lado do quarto q eu estava e aí ela é só temperatura ambiente, ou seja, o quarto não fica quente, e estava dias frios, nao deva pra dormir só de pijama e o hedredom tive q usar mais cobertor e ao sair do banho quarto frio, academia com horário limitado e com aparelhos todos enferrujados, quando pedi um energético no restaurante o atendente me sabia se tinha e pediu a outra q teve q ir não sei aonde buscar e demoraram pra isso, sendo q eu estava com pressa, quando pedi pra colocarem na conta do quarto a surpresa, pediram se eu TINHA AUTORIZAÇÃO, como assim ???? Era só eu hospedada e legaram que o restaurante era terceirizado e o pagamento no ato, sem contar q eu tive q pagar tudo no chek in e não no chek out. tudo tinha q ser pago antecipadamente, e não davam nem bom dia, nem boa noite
