This was my third time there. The staff at the breakfast always super friendly. Aline at the front desk helped me with an issue with the WiFi changing my room. Great size bedrooms. Bathrooms need to be updated. First night was not very pleasant, WiFi did not work at all, complained 3 times and the answer was the technician would be there to check the following day. No updates on fixing but Aline went above and beyond and changed my room. I love the location. Next time I will probably try the ones more modern around the area

Management in denial of problems

Hotel looks nice and is in a good location. However it is clearly suffering from lack of maintenance. The games room has broekn games and the gym is mouldy. My shower was leaking and poorly looked after WiFi signal is too weak to work within rooms and you have to go to reception. Breakfast is okay, a nice touch is a chef who makes your omellete for you. On the down side the juice is watered down and one day guests were served sour milk.

Péssima experiência

A localização do hotel é excelente. Mas para por aí!! O estacionamento é pago, até toalha se quiser eles “emprestam” por 2,00 cada. O atendimento deixa muito a desejar! O café da manhã é fraco, eles ofertam muitas massas (pães, bolos, bolachas) mas o sabor dos bolos são horríveis. A tapioca faz na hora, mas vem crua. Sem falar no atendimento do café da manhã, o pessoal nem olha na sua cara.

Hotel simples mas atende.

Hotel normal, nada demais. O bom que é bem de frente para a praia. Café na manhã bom, camas bem grandes. O maior problema foi o mal cheiro do banheiro pois, a janela dos banheiros fica para a onde fica os canos então fica com muito mal cheiro. Reclamei mas não adiantou.

Pessimo! Primeiro momento que ao chegar no hotel fui coagida e obrigada a pagar a totalidade da reserva, nao ha qualquer informação sobre pagamento antecipado no check in. Ressalto que ainda efetusram a cobrança de uma diaria em outubro de 2024 mesmo inserindo o cancelamento gratuito ate o dia 26/12. Sinceramente nunca mais ponhomos oes nesse hotel Fora a desorganização do bar da praia ao qual solicitei um drink que demorou mais de 2h. Se meu marido nao fosse so hotel perguntar nao seria entregue. O casal ao meu pado desistiu do apertivo que pediram pois estavam aguardando mais de 3h. Fora a limpeza do quarto extremamente pessima, isso porque fiquei em suite superior vista mar. A gerente Claudia muito ruim sem qualquer preparo Quando questionafa dobre ompagamento antecipado a mesma respondeu "todos os hoteis daqui cobram assim". Serio isso? Que tipo de treinamento esse hotel faz aos seus funcionarios???? Nao visualizei no dia 27/12 o CDC à vista do consumidor. Hotel Hardmann NUNCA MAIS VOLTAREI!!!

Bem localizado e confortável

Quarto confortável e espaçoso com duas camas de casais, vem com comodidades como sabonete, shampoo 2 em 1, frigobar tem 2 toalhas extras para a praia e bicicletas para aluguel. Café da manha sortido e saboroso, com frutas, pães, máquina de café que fornece ótimo capucino além de cozinheira que faz ótimas tapiocas e omeletes. Bem localizado de frente ao mar. Pontos negativos: O estacionamento é cobrado 20,00 reais a diária, o quarto não tem espelho e o atendimento do bar da piscina e lento e com poucos funcionários.
