I needed a place for the night and this served well. The breakfast was great.
Only negative remark would’ve that there was no towel in the room.
Otherwise definitely a place I’d pick again
Very good. Very clean, cordial and friendly staff. Amazing Brazilian breakfast.

It’s an OK hotel. The breakfast is not great, but at least it is included. The hotel doesn’t provide shampoo or body wash, which is ridiculous in my opinion. I’d rather have basic necessities than a pool and breakfast. The location is very central and busy and there’s a lot of things around, which is nice. But it’s not the safest area.
The property was completely fine, but neighborhood was dirty, stinky and noisy, there’s a bar selling alcohol until early mornings playing loud music… Ig you don’t care about it hotel is great for you
Lots of noise and chaos, the room is incredibly small, the A/C you couldn’t regulate it was a straight freezer in there with no proper bed sheets to cover yourself at all. The breakfast was subpar. I took a triple room. But if you are more than one person they charge you extra per person which makes absolutely no sense since I booked a TRIPLE. Overall I feel completely scammed out of my money. The 24/7 noise

Fiquei no quarto final 8, de frente pra rua e a proteção acústica é nula. É muito, mas muito barulho, a noite toda. Eu fui trabalhar as 4:30h sem pregar o olho.

Na janela do quarto ficam 2 exaustores de ar condicionado, o do próprio quarto e o do quarto ao lado. isso impede que a janela fique aberta e quando o ar esta ligado faz um barulho insuportável. os 2 ligados ao mesmo tempo é impraticável. mesmo com as janelas fechadas o barulho é terrível. Nos tivemos que escolher entre dormir com o barulho ou morrer de calor com o nosso ar desligado para diminuir o barulho, ja que o do vizinho ficou fazendo barulho direto.
Atenção dos funcionários, localização e café da manhã.

O atendimento na recepção é muito bom, todos simpáticos e ágeis. O café da manhã é muito gostoso e com uma variedade razoavel de opções, o horário da disponibilidade do café também é muito bom.
