las chicas que trabajan ahi geniales pero en si residencial rayar no me gusto
Pros:

las chicas del alojamiento muy amables maravilhosas ,el personal que esta todo el dia muy profesional y personas geniales de verdad fue lo que me hizo estar encantada

Cons:

Reservé y pagué una habitación concreta, pero me alojaron en otra diferente sin avisarme. No tenía teléfono en ese momento (me lo habían robado), así que no pude comprobar la reserva hasta más tarde.

El desayuno no estaba incluido y tuve que pagarlo aparte, y tampoco se informaba claramente de algunas normas como la prohibición de invitados en la habitación.

Lo positivo: las chicas que trabajan allí fueron increíbles. Muy amables, atentas y siempre dispuestas a ayudar. Gracias a ellas, la experiencia fue más llevadera, aunque la gestión de la habitación fue decepcionante.

Aqui nunca mais.
Pros:

Pessoal atencioso, principalmente uma menina de nome Edilene.
Foi a unica coisa positiva deste alojamento, pessoal atencioso. Também a limpeza nada a dizer.

Cons:

A internet quase NUNCA funcionou, uma miséria...
Isolamento de ruídos nem pensar. Janelas e portas sem fechar. quando outros hóspedes se levantavam, ou deitavam às 6 horas, grande barulheira pois portas e janelas deixavam passar todo o barulho.
O lavatório tinha as torneiras trocadas. Saía água quente na torneira de água fria e água fria na torneira de água quente.
O autoclismo ficava preso a correr sempre água, o que era uma pena pois a água faz muita falta, principalmente numa cidade como esta.
Havia uma televisão e um ar condicionado que não sei se funcionavam ou não pois procurei mas nunca achei nenhum comando.

Es ist ein nettes kleines Hotel in dem man zu dem Preis auch nicht mehr erwarten sollte, aber durchaus wiederholbar
Pros:

Sehr hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal

Cons:

Während unseres Aufenthalts gab es erforderliche , aber schnell erledigte Bauarbeiten.Leider deshalb etwas laut
Frühstück war ganz passabel
