All are terrible at speaking English. It took forever to check out. Two women at reception when I checked out, but they both had to be involved in checking out the person in front of me. And very, very slowly. They also forced me to pay extra to check out, even though I did not get anything from the minibar, destroy anything, or order any service during my hotel stay. In a muffin from the breakfast , I found a long black hair baked in. Diaqusting.

Very nice property, a little bit old, door was hard to close and lock, key to turn on the light was kind of broken, but nothing unsafe or big deal. You can not beat that price

Appearance is misleading...

Although the location was great, the room was kinda small with just a small desk and basically the place to put your luggage. Luckily, I was there only for a few days (two) so, had not much to handle.

Apesar do quarto ser organizado todos os dias, não retiravam o pó dos móveis. Além disso, havia uma porta de divisão entre o nosso quarto e um outro, que deixa o som do lado vazar.

Hotel fica numa localização maravilhosa e perto de tudo. Poucos passos da Av.18 de julho. Ótimo café da manhã e pessoal muito prestativo. Estacionamento bem próximo, mas como nosso carro estava com maleiro ( altura não permitida ) , tivemos que retirá- lo para fazer uso do Estacionamento. Tudo vem resolvido pelo hotel.
