We had a wonderful stay at Balfer’s Hotel. The staff were all so kind and provided us with exceptional service during our 7 day stay. The rooms were clean as well as all the common areas. The breakfast every morning was fresh and delicious. We are so happy and we will definitely be back.

Tudo muito bom, apenas o aquecedor do quarto 106 não estava funcionando (08/07/26) o que resultou em um quarto frio em pleno inferno. Mas os outros detalhes compensaram a estadia. Recomendo

Bom custo-benefício, mas com falhas no serviço de quarto! O hotel possui um bom custo-benefício, excelente localização, quartos de bom tamanho, boa recepção, café da manhã e estacionamento próprio. No entanto, o serviço precisa de melhorias. Pontos de melhoria: -Serviço de quarto / Toalhas: Há uma falha na logística. Retiravam nossas toalhas todos os dias (mesmo sem pedirmos), mas não repunham. Uma noite tivemos que solicitar várias vezes e esperar muito tempo porque disseram que não havia toalhas disponíveis - e o hotel nem estava lotado. O hotel deveria adotar a política de outros estabelecimentos, permitindo ao hóspede escolher se deseja a troca, inclusive por questões de sustentabilidade. -Café da manhã: Razoável! Tinha mais opções de massas folhadas, como croissants e doces, faltando itens com mais opções de pães e frios, ovos, frutas e bolo.

O Hotel está em uma localização maravilhosa, a recepção é excelente a parte interna tem uma sala de espera enorme e café tem micro-ondas, para esquentar uma refeição, tudo novo. O que faltou foi o ar condicionado o que tinha era velho, barulhento e com pó e não saia ar ; a cama era macia as cobertas, toalhas e cobertas impecáveis. Infelizmente a tarde fiquei por 30 minutos sem energia no quarto devido a um problema no Hotel e a noite tive que tomar banho frio. Precisam cuidar de alguns detalhes como limpeza das paredes, do lavatório. Também ocorreu cheiro forte de cigarro que entrou pelo banheiro por uma fresta na parede reclamei, mas não tinham como saber de onde era, o que foi ruim, porque passei mal e nem podia ligar o ar do quarto para melhorar. Nota 1000 para os funcionários, café da manhã delicioso, mas os gestores do Hotel precisam ver esses detalhes.

La limpieza no es precisamente la principal virtud de este hotel. La primera habitación que me asignaron tuve que solicitar que la cambiaran porque el baño estaba muy sucio; incluso la tapa del inodoro tenía manchas visibles. La habitación a la que me cambiaron, supuestamente un upgrade, estaba en peores condiciones. El baño tenía pelos por todos lados. Adicionalmente, las habitaciones no corresponden con las fotos publicadas en hoteles.com. No recomiendo este hotel.
