Pros:

A localização é excelente, pertinho da estação de trem, ruas principais com bares e restaurantes e atrações principais. As pessoas eram muito simpáticas e o café da manhã era bom. O quarto tinha uma varanda e levantar de manhã com vista para o Rio foi incrível.

Cons:

As instalações estão um pouco precárias, precisam que uma renovação, o quarto é bem claro e as cortinas não dão conta do sol pela manhã. O banheiro tinha a porta estufada.

Pros:

Great location, 2 mins walk from the train station.

Cons:

The hotel breakfast was one of the worst I’ve ever had during my travels. The building itself has a very ‘old smell’ everywhere, a renovation is long due. The cleaning staff was chatting with each other super loud during morning hours and due to lack of proper isolation of the doors it was disturbing.

Optimales Preis/Leistungsverhältnis
Pros:

Das Zimmer war grosszügig und hatte einen kleinen Balkon. Das Frühstück war ideal und hatte eine grosse Auswahl an verschiedenen amerikanischen Speisen. Das Hotel ist hundefreundlich und mit Haustieren sehr unkompliziert. Das Hotel hat einen eigene Parkgarage, die mit Fr. 9.- pro Nacht genutzt werden kann. Die Lage ist super, das Hotel befindet sich unweit von Restaurants und Geschäften.

Cons:

Das Badezimmer ist etwas in die Gänge gekommen und hätte eine Renovation nötig. Aber für eine Nacht, war es kein Problem.
