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.

O hotel é bem diferente das fotos que tem no site, tudo bem antigo e muitas coisas não vêm uma manutenção desde 1900...
O custo benefício é ok.
Como utilizamos o quarto praticamente só para dormir, não posso reclamar muito, até porque, fomos bem atendidos.
Mas na qualidade, pecam bastante.

O Hotel atende o custo benefício. Quarto conforme fotos, exceto parte do banheiro onde o box era com cortina o que acabava alagando o banheiro durante o banho. Café da manhã simples, mas bem gostoso.

Recomendado!
Habitação confortável conforme anuncio, bom atendimento na recepção, excelente localização próximo à avenida 18 de Julho. Oportunidade de melhoria no café da manhã, poderia estar um pouco mais organizado e limpo. No geral, atendeu à expectativa.
