Reception Chaos

The Check In and Out was absolute chaos and the worst I experienced in Brazil. I stayed two nights and my room was not cleaned once, despite asking. I literally walked out of the hotel after two days without doing a proper check out as the chaos at reception was too much.

The property is far away from being a 4 star hotel. It’s old and outdated, a lot of things in the room didn’t work or work poorly. Zero sound proof and the daily cleaning has a lot to improve. The staff barely speak English, so if you want to effectively communicate you have to speak in Portuguese. We’ve complained several times, but nothing was done to improve about experience.

Tried to contact 4 different extensions (1was assistant mgr & another receptionist) one evening without any of them being answered to highlight an issue!

The following day I requested a change which was given to a higher floor unfortunately, the room had a funny smell, the door knob of the bathroom make so much noise, the mirrow didnt work, the carpet was rough and dirty. The bathroom seem that they dont cdeep cleaned. This hotel needs to update the rooms.

The hotel has the best location and views. The service exccellent. Staff very friendly and the facilites are very nice. The room was very old and not in the best condition. The bathroom’s door was broken and didn’t close. The sink was clogged. It needs remodeling.
