Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a great shower, although the AC was barely functioning. The view of the main road from the 11th floor was lovely, but the traffic noise was noticeable. The service was friendly and accommodating. The location was excellent for exploring the city, although some maintenance issues were apparent. The dining experience was good, and the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is well situated in the center of the city, close to the metro, swimming pool, and bar for a relaxing end of the day. The rooms are average and pretty big but could use a major facelift. The service was wonderful and very helpful, with truly attentive staff members. The location is great, within walking distance to restaurants, bars, an ATM, and the metro, offering convenience and accessibility to various activities. The dining experience was wonderful, with a good selection of dishes. Overall, a pleasant stay with some areas that could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was mixed. While the rooms were spacious and had essential amenities, the view facing a construction wall and the small pool were drawbacks. Additionally, the airline stopped covering our costs after two nights, which was unexpected and inconvenient.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, which I rented through VRBO, was the highlight for me. It was spacious, comfortable, with perfect AC, and completely isolated from any outside light, making it a great place to rest. The downside was the unattractive view facing a construction wall. The service, especially from Ulisses and the rest of the staff, was incredibly helpful, although there were a few minor issues like the noisy AC and unreliable Wi-Fi. The location was quite good for exploring downtown, with easy access to restaurants and transportation, although the room had some maintenance issues like non-functioning outlets. The dining options were basic, but the buffet had a good variety to choose from. The overall facilities were decent. It's worth noting that some amenities were lacking considering the hotel's star rating.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, although they faced a huge, ugly wall due to construction, and the pool was a bit small. The service was top-notch, with staff dressed impeccably and always ready to assist. The location was convenient, close to various amenities and within walking distance of many attractions. The dining experience was a bit weak and slightly expensive, but I did enjoy some of the offerings. The facilities were decent, although a bit dated.
