All... the hotel is excellent

Nothing

Irene Eugenio Pedro Texeira · PT · 2026-07-21

Não recomendo. Apenas a localização é prática - e por isso, caro demais pro que oferece

3.0

A equipe foi extremamente gentil mesmo ao lidar com minha insatisfação com o espaço.

O hotel foi uma grande decepção: imagens e descrição que estavam no booking não condizem com todas as opções de estadia: alguns prédios e quartos são mais antigos. O prédio onde nós colocaram era originalmente uma prisão, o andar térreo é uma universidade, estavam reformando os corredores… um verdadeiro labirinto, um pessimo astral… o quarto família era pessimo, apertado, realmente uma sensação de prisão. Pedimos cancelamento e formos pra outro hotel.
