A equipe foi ótima, o quarto é simples mas a cama e o chuveiro são maravilhosos, um lugar mais simples e sem café da manhã, mas tem geladeira e microondas disponíveis na recepção para uso. Para quem quer um lugar gostosinho pra dormir e depois passar o dia passeando e se divertindo está ótimo, principalmente considerando o valor da diária!!!

Legitimately sold my room to someone else with all my stuff in there. And yes I had a handful of things missing. I didn’t want to complain about the fact that the place is pretty run down, but I dont have to the service was so poor it’s enough of a reason to avoid it. I didn’t get refunded or even given any type of compensation just a guy that said my bad. I got my ray bans stolen and some gifts I had for family back home. My room didn’t have toilet paper. When was given another room the sheets were stained. Changed to another room and was ok but I decided to not even spend the night there again. Avoid if possible
You can get much better for the same price

O lugar é bem simples, recomendo para aqueles que passarão o dia fora. A localização é maravilhosa, fica próximo de tudo. Gostamos do atendimento dos funcionários e da limpeza, que só não foi feitas duas vezes durante uma semana, porém quando solicitávamos toalhas a recepção nos mandava.

No cumplen con lo que ofrecen en la Reserva
Llegué a la 1.30 del 5JUL. Pese que Hoteles me confirmó que contraté una habitación con 2 camas individuales, me diero la N°3 con cama matrimonial. Reclamé, pero no me dieron solución, pretextando el recepcionista nocturno, que no tenían otra habitación. En la mañana al reiterar mi reclamo con el siguiente recepcionista, me dijo en tono burlón y agresivo, que si no quería la cama matrimonial, me hubiera ido a otro hotel (a esa hora y habiendo pagado anticipado) y, que en todo caso, reclamara a Hoteles.com, porque ellos son los que habrían errado con la especificación del número de camas. En todo caso, no volveré xa este hotel y, caso no reciba una satisfacción, tampoco a volver a hacer uso de Hoteles.com
