Não voltei mais!

Quarto quente, sem ar condicionado. Um calor insuportável. Um ventilador que mal alivia o calor. Tomar o café da manhã é desanimador : local apertado, precisa ficar esperando a reposição da comida por q se põe em oiuca quantidade. Lugar quente e desconfortável.

Tive um problema com o ônibus, não conseguimos chegar a tempo. Praticamente fui forçado a dar um jeito se não ficaria fora do hotel. Banheiros fora do quarto.. PÉSSIMO! Pagamos 280 sem dinheiro a refeição… SEM TODA NO QUARTO. Pagamos muito caro para ZERO CONFORTO em TODOS OS SENTIDOS

Razoável.

Hostel bem simples e ideial para quem não vai de carro, pois não possie estacionamento. O café da manhã é bem simples. O Hostel tem cores escuras nos corredores e quarto (pelo menos o que nós ficamos) o que atrai mosquitos. Havia moriçocas no quarto e a janela não tem tela de proteção. Uma vez que o endereço de lá é central acredito que telas nas janelas ajudaria bastante. Nem sempre o ventilador dá conta sozinho. Agora que sei disso, voltaria lá mas levando repelente.

Ruim

Minhas experiências com hotéis sempre foram agradáveis, porém dessa vez foi terrível. Quarto desconfortável, sem ar condicionado, sem banheiro, e o preço altíssimo e sem nenhum conforto. Camas ruins, atendimento ruim, só o café da manhã que foi agradável.
