Don’t consume anything in the fridge or use what is provided for you in the room. They will charge you in dollars at an inflated price. Also check the math. They mark up everything.

Boa localização, quartos grandes e equipe simpática. O Café da manhã é simples. Existem supermercados próximos, feira de rua e todos os pontos turísticos do centro podem ser visitados andando a pé. No geral atendeu minhas expectativas.

Publicidad engañosa

Las habitaciones tenían un olor desagradable nos produjo una alergia inmediata, las sábanas sucias, las paredes sucias. Para ser un 4 estrellas está muy mal mantenido. Entramos y inmediatamente abandonamos el hotel y nos fuimos para el novotel.

Foi uma passagem de 1 noite no hotel. Não há reclamações, mas só elogios a Jimmy porque ajudou a carregar a mala, deu dicas importantes de restaurantes e foi o que nos serviu o café da manhã no dia seguinte. Entende português também. Portanto, parabéns e obrigado, Jimmy.

Um bom Hotel, mas não corresponde a 4 estrelas.

O Hotel é muito bonito e confortável, mas possui algumas falhas que não condiz muito com a classificação de 4 estrelas: Tivemos falta de água durante a estadia, a qual tive que ficar debaixo do chuveiro aguardando que um funcionário ligasse a bomba para que a água retornasse e eu pudesse me enxaguar. O café da manhã estava sempre muito gostoso, mas não era reposto. Para tomar um bom café da manhã é necessário acordar cedo e saber que os outros hóspedes não poderiam desfrutar do que você comeu, pois eles não repõe nada, o que acaba por ser bem desagradável e incomodou bastante. Caso você se hospede e desça após as 8h, já não consegue tomar um bom café da manhã. No anúncio, diz que o Hotel possui bar e restaurante, mas nenhum dos dois funciona, em dia algum. No mais, os quartos são espaçosos e limpos e os funcionários extremamente simpáticos. Apesar dos defeitos é um nom hotel. Recomendo caso você não se importe com café da manhã.

Even with little misunderstanding, the staff was very respectful and with discretion. Thank you for an amazing four days. Unfortunately, had to leave early because of Coronavirus border closures.

Hotel Arenal

I came to the hotel early at 09:00 and I asked the lady at the reception how much would cost early chcek in. She told me 30 dollars and I said, you want 30 dollars for 5 hours early check i? So then she changed it to 20 dollars. I paid because I traveled whole night from Suckre. I never got reciept for 140 Bolivanos. The room was nice and clean. The breakfast room was full of flies and the were all over the food which was uncovered on the table. When I booked the hotel, i noticed that they have a shuttle service to the airport. Then I had to pay 80 Bolivanos for the hotel taxi. They should not advertise shuttle service to the airport or mark it that this service is available but you have to pay.

great location downtown, close to the main plaza and the restaurant strip, as well as easy to drive out of town north to e.g. Buena Vista. Hotel has great swimming pool deck to relax when it's hot during the day, and has parking if you have a rental car. Staff is very friendly and helpful, and breakfast is extensive and good quality.
