Like staying at a hospital

I was quite disappointed at the condition of this Hotel Scala. It felt like staying at a mental hospital, that's how bad the decor was at this hotel. It was small and noisy (could hear anyone passing by in the hallway), the air conditioning was noisy, and the beds were really small. The worst part though was the bathroom; the shower is in the same area as the toilet so you are basically showering on top of the toilet stall. After showering the whole bathroom floor would flood and then the next person would have to waddle through the wet floor. It was really not what I would expect from a hotel...I've stayed in cheap hostels with better experiences. Overall I do not recommend this hotel.

NÃO RECOMENDO ESSE HOTEL.

A TV do quarto só funciona em três canais, o controle não funcionava, quarto infestado de baratas, os ocupantes de outros quartos ligavam o som muito alto e não havia nenhum funcionário para interpelá-los, sacos de lixo encostados nas paredes do corredor, foi necessário ir pessoalmente na recepção para reclamar do quarto. Logo depois apareceu um senhor que providenciou a troca do quarto, mas a TV tinha uma tela minúscula e, também, não funcionava todos os canais e algumas baratinhas surgiram no banheiro.

Custo-Benefício - Centro Histórico de Porto Alegre

O Scala é um hotel simples, quase ao lado Mercado Municipal de Porto Alegre. O café da manhã tem itens básicos, mas atende bem. Em relação ao quarto single, a tv é de 14 polegadas, somente com canais abertos; o chuveiro é elétrico, sem box; é uma opção para quem quer custo-benefício, um hotel bem típico daqueles para estadias rápidas; a recepção atendeu bem quando necessário

Instalações simples. Faltou local para pendurar toalhas. Mas a principal reclamação é o cheiro de cigarro. Sei que é complicado sair esse cheiro. Nem considero culpa do hotel.
