A estadia foi excelente, o local e o atendimento então no mesmo nível. Apenas algumas ressalvas para melhorias. Algumas informações poderiam ser mais claras para uma melhor experiência. No check in, houve o convite para o chá da tarde, porém, a proposta foi diferente do que foi repassado pelo site (site fora dito que seria buffet e na hora o hotel disponibilizava alguns itens). Para o café da manhã, seria melhor um cardápio, pois vc ter que decoraras opções torna o atendimento. O local disponibilizado para o chá é pequeno e faz com que as pessoas tenham que correr e não poder aproveitar melhor o momento para dar a vez para outros hospedes poderem usufruir também.

Hotel em uma propriedade histórica muito conservada. Jardim muito bonito e comida boa. Seria bom melhorar a questão de iluminação dos quartos, as cortinas não seguram a luz e mesmo à noite o quarto fica extremamente claro. Os quartos também acabam recebendo muito barulho vindo da rua durante a noite.

O hotel é lindo, confortável, bem localizado, mas o café da manhã está uma bagunça...sem cardápio, as atendentes sem paciência e não sabem explicar o que tem e como é cada opção, tudo super demorado e às vezes até esquecido , ou seja, o nível não condiz com o estilo do hotel!

Final de semana em família

Eu adoro o hotel, acho os quartos amplos e muito confortáveis, a localização é excelente,mas o café da manhã está cada dia mais confuso, não tem nenhum tipo de cardápio e as atendentes são super enroladas. O hotel cobrou 10% na saída novamente e eu já havia feito o pagamento total pelo Hotel.com é um hotel muito lindo então continua valendo a pena, mas está caindo um pouco o atendimento em geral!
