Robert United States of America

The staff was very helpful and friendly, but the hotel is really understaffed there are long waits and queues for everything, from check-in to breakfast. Central location, was easy to move around.

Carolina Brazil

Everything was lovely, the neighbourhood looks a bit rough but the hotel is like an oasis - with secure parking, a lovely pool, very comfortable rooms (great shower!!) and an international, multicultural and relaxed vibe.

Rosemary Brazil

Our room was comfortable and on the main floor so easy to access and it was quiet. We liked the old fashioned style and high ceilings. The breakfast was excellent although the coffee was like mud. My husband liked it.
