Bom lugar
Pros:

Das pessoas que trabalham lá e da localização, a uma uma quadra de um grande supermercado, em frente a parada do hopon hopoff e com vários pequenos restaurantes ao redor.

Cons:

De ir tomar banho e molhar até o quarto, pois não há box,apenas uma cortina e da demora para servir o café da manhã por não ser buffet, mas sim,contado.

Pros:

The lady at the reception was friendly and nice to us, reminded me a little bit of my mom :D. The room was clean, the staff at the bar were also helpful, and the breakfast was on point. I have found a home away from home. I highly recommend them.

Cons:

I couldn't stay a day more.
