Great value
Pros:

My room was comfy and clean and the water was hot immediately. There's an open air treadmill as well as some weights. I got an early 5 am breakfast that was complete with an omelette, lentils, fried banana and potatoes and fresh watermelon juice. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. I needed to print a document for work and they did so free of charge. I could pick up snacks and coffee at the nearby shop, and the on-site restaurant was solid too, with tasty fresh food and a full bar. Would definitely go back.

Cons:

My room wasn't serviced after the first night and this surprised me a bit--maybe they only service every other day, or on request. I didn't check. The wifi was pretty spotty in my room, but better at the restaurant.

Boa estadia
Pros:

Boa localização muito central

Cons:

Esqueci um celular velho na mesinha de cabeceira quando deixe o hotel.
Quando me dei conta liguei para hotel e me disseram que não tenha encontrado nada
Claramente a camareira pegou e guardou

Pros:

Good location

Cons:

Room was dated, but the more pressing issue was two large LPG gas cylinders stored directly outside my window. This is a genuine safety hazard gas leaks or fire risk directly adjacent to a guest room
