Cons:

フニクラ乗り放題で便利
Pros:

ピピラの丘まですぐ！
昼夜を問わず好きなタイミングで何度でも絶景が楽しめる。
フニクラの乗場が行列でも、出口から進入してホテルに貸与されたカードを見せると並ぶことなく乗せてくれます。
非常にコスパが良い宿ではないでしょうか。

備え付けのドライヤーは、スイッチを下に入れると強風になります。真ん中が切、上が弱、下が強です（強風にしたら中から虫の死骸が出てきましたが笑）

フロント向かい側の建物でしたが、他の方が書いているような洗面台の排水もお湯が出る速度も許容範囲でした。ただ眺望が東向きなのでバシリカ等は見えません。

早朝フライトで移動するため深夜チェックアウトでしたが、Uberの乗車ポイントをピピラ像前にして乗降が問題ありませんでした。
階段が多いので非力であればスーツケースではなくバックパックのほうがオススメです。

Cons:

チェックインしてすぐクローゼットの中に大きなゴキブリの死骸を見つけました。丘の上の自然がいっぱいだった場所に建っているので仕方ないかもしれませんが、そのくらい確認していただきたいです。いきなり衝撃的でした。

また、連泊時「清掃不要」の札を出していたのに、清掃されていたのも謎です。

上記の点があっても、それでも魅力的な良い宿です。スタッフも英語はそんなに通じませんが親切でした。

Todo excelente
Pros:

Todo la verdad, fui con mi familia, excelente vista y ubicación, la gente muy amable, muy rico desayuno, nos encanto, regresaremos, y con el funicular aunque nos tocó temporada alta ni se preocupen por eso solo pasas por el otro acceso y les dan el pase que te dan en el hotel, max esperas 3 min a que toque y ya estas en tu habitación casi casi como esperar tu elevador en cualquier otro hotel solo que con una vista y experiencia increible mi hijo fascinado y nosotros tambien.
