Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Mixed: several guests praised clean, spacious rooms ('Limpa e ampla'), but multiple comments note dirty external areas, garbage, urine in streets and a dirty/smelly pool; noise/poor insulation also affected perceived cleanliness.
Service
9.4
Very positive: numerous mentions of friendly, helpful staff, manager upgrades, personalized welcomes, birthday treats, staff who spoke guests' languages and went out of their way to assist.
Location
8
Generally convenient: close to metro and hop-on/hop-off bus, good access to tourist sites and views; some guests felt the immediate neighbourhood was untrustworthy or unpleasant, so location sentiment is mixed.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms often described as large, well-appointed and comfortable with thoughtful in-room amenities; a few notes (pillows too big, hotel not quite 5-star) temper a fully perfect score.
Amenities
7
Weaknesses mainly around the pool (very shallow/small, described as a 'charca' or not suitable for swimming, some found it dirty); small cooling pool available but limited—other amenities (ability to use nearby Wyndham pool) mitigate somewhat.
Value for Money
8.6
Several guests explicitly noted good value ('Buena relación calidad precio'); positive service and room size support a strong value perception despite some amenity/area drawbacks.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast was frequently praised as excellent or amazing by many guests, though at least one guest found the breakfast poor—overall positive but not unanimous.
Overall Experience
8.7
Predominantly positive stays: many guests report wonderful experiences, helpful staff and memorable touches; issues with neighbourhood, pool and occasional maintenance lower but do not dominate overall sentiment.

Buona struttura
Pros:

Struttura con ottima posizione non lontana dalle zone di interesse principale.
Camere spaziose e di buon livello.

Cons:

La piscina in realtà è una vasca profonda 40cm quindi non bisogna avere l’idea di una piscina balneabile
