No m funcionó el agua caliente al momento de ducharme. Me dijeron que en el parking iba a darme una cochera en lugar de prioridad y no fue así. Aire acondicionado muy ruidoso.

Muy lindo pero mejoren los servicios básicos
Pros:

Me gustaron las instalaciones

Cons:

Al principio me mandaron a una habitación en la cual se escuchaba un ruido a cañería de agua muy fuerte lo cual no me permitió dormir y el acolchado que había estaba muy sucio. Luego me cambiaron a una habitación que estaba muy bien pero no andaba el agua caliente. El personal muy amablemente solucionó mis problemas, pero con lo que te cobran la estadía del hotel no debería pasar esto.

Pros:

Llegamos antes de la hora del check in y nos dejaron ingresar a la habitación.
El personal muy destacable. Todos muy amables.
La ubicación del hotel es excelente.
La habitación es amplia y el baño muy cómodo.

Cons:

Las sábanas y acolchado estaban sucios.
Tiene mucho potencial el hotel pero muebles feos.
No vale la pena pagar el desayuno. No tiene muchas opciones y el lugar para el mismo parece un cyber.

Not worth the money
Pros:

The staff made a great effort.

Cons:

I didn‘t have running water in my room, once this issue was resolved, the next problems showed up.
No warm water, no water for the toilet.
Furniture was run down, breakfast without much variety.

Greatly Disappointed with very helpful receptionists
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Everything:
Dirty beyond words sheets, duvet, headboard MATTRESS!!!
I mean it is a basic level of hygiene for an hotel.

We were not going to a 3 country back Packers lowest level hostel !!!

I am told by our (present) daughter used to go in those that this was way worst!!!

Floor is soo difficult to tell but didn’t dare put my bare foot down.
Breakfast is a joke!!!!
All seating area are in pictures good in reality absolutely appalling!

The luggage holder is dirtier that the street below!!

Old
Broken chairs and safes and loads of water leaks everywhere!

Welcome receptionists on the other hand were excellent & extremely helpful, cordial and accommodative! Trying to find a “better” room for us. Which at least had seemingly a “cleaner” mattress.

Absolutely 5* to them

The person behind the bar that was also in the breakfast section was terrible always on the phone going through social media. No help. No directing or anything. Just after being asked something being told it was all for extra! A normal coffee?????
The croissants were uncooked, yogurt was liquid as a milk drink, bread the oldest I ever seen.
Honestly!!!
