מעולה
Pros:

המארח בקבלה היה מקסים ועזר לנו בכל מה שצריך, סגרנו עוד לילה ובאו לקראתנו עם מעבר לחדר השני שהיה בשעה די מוקדמת. ביקשנו להשאיר את הדברים לפני שעשינו צ׳ק אין לילה לפני ועזרו לנו מאוד.

Cons:

, אומרים שיש רעש במבחוץ אבל החדר אטום ולא שמענו כלום. החדר וינטג׳ די קטן, לנו לא הפריע בכלל והחיסרון היחיד שאני יכולה לחשוב עליו שלא הייתה מראת גוף

Pros:

El hotel lindo, limpio y muy bien ubicado, lamentablemente como en toda la quinta siempre hay música y es un poco molesto en la noche, pero quitando eso esta perfecto.

Cons:

Un poco reducida la habitacion y que no contaba con alberca. La música nocturna es un poco molesta tambien

Experiência excelente! Equipe atenciosa.
Pros:

Espaço bastante aconchegante e quarto confortável. Localização excelente, muito conveniente. Destaco a atenção e cuidado do Roy com nosso grupo para nos proporcionar a melhor experiência possível. Extremamente simpático, atencioso e prestativo, sempre nos respondendo de forma muito rápida pelo WhatsApp.

Cons:

O chuveiro não esquentou, mas isso não estragou em nada a experiência, pois estava calor.

Pros:

La honestidad del personal
Se nos quedó una cartera y un celular nos buscaron y entregaron y no nos recibieron la gratificación que les queríamos dar por la atención
La cartera traía mas de $4,000
Mil gracias a la señorita que se encarga de los cuartos y a la señorita de recepción

Too much noisy and impossible to sleep
Cons:

Avoid room number 6. It is located in front of fifth avenue. There is so much noise, it is impossible to sleep due to the karaoke nearby the hotel with loud music until 1:00 am.
