Muy buen hotel para llegar a dormir y salir
Pros:

Muy buen hotel para alojar y desayuno. La ubicación a 2 cuadras del metro y la playa. El desayuno muy contundente y lo barato del precio

Cons:

Para el precio, todo bien. Solo como sugerencia a los dueños, le hace falta un poco de mantención. Una ampolleta no prendía y tuvimos q llamar a recepción, había un baño con la tapa del inodoro trizado...

Awful WiFi connection
Pros:

I have been several times in this hotel. Unfortunately the condition is getting worse and worse. I have already explained what was good about the property and I don’t want to repeat myself.

Cons:

The Internet connection is now almost ridiculous, the staff blamed the bad weather which is not a good excuse to be honest. If you decide to watch any videos or even opening a page online is almost impossible unless you use your own connection on your phone. This is something the management really needs to rectify otherwise they will start loosing customers.

DECEPCIONADA
Pros:

EL DESAYUNO ESTA BIEN. TIENE ESTACION DE METRO Y LA PLAYA CERCANOS AL HOTEL.

Cons:

EL PERSONAL NO ES ATENTO. LA SEÑORA QUE ATIENDE EN RECEPCIÓN Y QUE HABLA ESPAÑOL CUANDO NO QUIERE RESPONDER EMPIEZA A HABLAR EN PORTUGUES Y NADA AMABLE. EL VALOR QUE PAGUE EXCEDE LA COMODIDAD Y CONFOR QUE ESPERABA. DECEPCIONADA TOTALMENTE.

Pros:

Localização próximo a praia, restaurantes e segurança do bairro

Cons:

No anuncio informa que tem estacionamento disponível, chegando no hotel fui informado que o estacionamento era pago a parte (esta informação deveria ser clara no anuncio).

Pros:

O café da manhã estava bom, com frutas doces da ocasião.

Cons:

A limpeza do hotel é realmente muito precária. Iniciando pela recepção do hotel com aquele acrílico que separa o hóspede do recepcionista que estava lotado de poeira. No banheiro que fiquei, o ralo da pia estava cheio de cabelo, o banheiro tinha cheiro de urina muito forte. Claramente ele nem sequer foi limpo antes do nosso check in. O chão do quarto também estava sujo. Falta capricho na limpeza.
