Appearance is misleading...

Although the location was great, the room was kinda small with just a small desk and basically the place to put your luggage. Luckily, I was there only for a few days (two) so, had not much to handle.

O hotel é bem diferente das fotos que tem no site, tudo bem antigo e muitas coisas não vêm uma manutenção desde 1900... O custo benefício é ok. Como utilizamos o quarto praticamente só para dormir, não posso reclamar muito, até porque, fomos bem atendidos. Mas na qualidade, pecam bastante.

O Hotel atende o custo benefício. Quarto conforme fotos, exceto parte do banheiro onde o box era com cortina o que acabava alagando o banheiro durante o banho. Café da manhã simples, mas bem gostoso.
