Satisfied with the visit

Good stay in Riobamba, parking was available and breakfast OK! Room nice with useful minibar options available for purchase. The reception charged me mistakenly at first as I had already paid online, but they caught their error already even before I did, and promptly fixed it.

Simpático mas bem caro para o que é

O quarto de casal era grande. O banheiro pequeno. A cortina tipo "blinder" era menor que a janela, logo a luz do sol entrou no quarto bem cedo. Café da manhã: um pão, 1/2 fatia de queijo, 1/2 fatia de presunto, um pouquinho de frutas picadas, 2 ovos. Ah! Água ou leite quente para café solúvel ou chá. Beeeem básico. Outro detalhe: a cidade é bem fria de noite e não há calefaçao. Na cama há muitos cobertores.

El lugar, la amabilidad de las chicas, la muy buena predisposición para resolver nuestras inquietudes y el desayuno de 10. Si bien está alejado del centro histórico al tener un vehículo la distancia no fue un problema.
