“Nice staff, not nice pool”

The staff were very some of the most friendly and helpful that I have spoken to in a hotel so I was really glad about this part.

The staff were very some of the most friendly and helpful that I have spoken to in a hotel so I was really glad about this part. I chose this hotel instead of others that looked similar in the same area because it had a pool. It was around double the price of the similar hotels that had no pool. The pool looked absolutely filthy and it had a weird looking broken hole in the bottom of it so I didn't even go in it unfortunately because I was concerned I might get issues. The whole place was dated which is fine but the bath in the room had jets that didn't work which was annoying and there wasn't a socket near the bed for electricals such as chargin my phone. Breakfast was very basic which was ok but the 'juice' was totally not juice but just some concentrate and coffee wasn't good either. It wasn't expensive but my advice is spend less ny going somewhere without a pool.

“You get what you pay for”

The hotel was fine considering the low price for a room. We stayed here for three nights, and while it was comfortable enough the decoration was from approximately the 1970's and the WiFi was working maybe 30% of the time.

The hotel was fine considering the low price for a room. We stayed here for three nights, and while it was comfortable enough the decoration was from approximately the 1970's and the WiFi was working maybe 30% of the time. The pool was barely used by other guests, probably since it was turned out and things were marinating in the water. We swam a bit, but chose not to dip our faces. The rooms were cleaned each morning and you got a fresh towel. The staff in the reception was very nice and helpful. The included breakfast consisted of the same thing everyday, mainly sweet cakes which wasn't really what we wanted from a breakfast. The hotel is located on a fairly active street with a lot of nightlife. You can easily walk to nearby sights.

“location location location”

I spent four nights at this place in October 2011. The bus stop for the airport-bus in right in the front of the hotel, which is a great advantage. The location in Rua Augusta (nightlife, theater, pubs, jazzclubs etc) is interesting. The beds are soft and sway everytime you turn around. Like everw… more

I spent four nights at this place in October 2011. The bus stop for the airport-bus in right in the front of the hotel, which is a great advantage. The location in Rua Augusta (nightlife, theater, pubs, jazzclubs etc) is interesting. The beds are soft and sway everytime you turn around. Like everwhere in Brazil, don't forgot to put the used toilet paper into the adjacent container and not into the toilet. The minibar is permanently empty, but you can fill it yourself, if you buy your own beverages beforehand. No free WIFI available, unless you are prepared to pay every day an unreasonable amount of money. However, there is an Internet shop right across the road with reasonable fares. Breakfast buffet is well furnished and the coffee remains hot throughout the service. No other meals are being served though. The fitness center, even though advertised in the lifts, is closed due to construction work going on. Friedrich Welke, Florianopolis, Brazil
