Pros:

A localização é perfeita! O hotel fica perto das principais ruas de Getsêmani. Tudo perto. O ar condicionado maravilhoso, forte e silencioso. O café da manhã básico, porém gostoso e suficiente. Os funcionários super atenciosos. O check out foi às 11h, mas nos deixaram tomar banho mais tarde num banheiro externo, perto da piscina e guardaram nossas malas, já que nosso voo era do no final do dia. Recomendo fortemente esse hotel.

Cons:

Um frigobar fez muita falta e também devem colocar um blackout porque o quarto fica muito claro cedo demais

Pros:

Les personnels sont très gentils et très serviable
Le petit déjeuner est bon et les fruits sont frais
L’emplacement est idéal, situé dans une ruelle tranquille à Getsemaní, à 5 min à pieds de l’animation
L’hôtel est beau et la piscine est rafraîchissante

Cons:

La chambre mérite un peu plus d’amour. Pas de frigo dans la chambre pour garder nos bouteilles d’eau fraîche et la luminosité de la chambre est basse

Not satisfied
Cons:

We found bedbugs and we suspect that either the pillows were too old or the bedsheets were not washed.
