The hotel rooms looked fine and clean, with good quality amenities, but the noise from the pipes and air vents was quite bothersome. My stay wasn't as enjoyable as expected due to the aging cupboard, lifting vinyl floor covering, and a bathroom that definitely needed updating. The service was really helpful and well-organized, with the staff being cordial and efficient when needed. The location, however, was not ideal for a pleasant evening out, being in a run-down area with limited dining options nearby. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a varied menu offered. The facilities met the basic needs with no significant standout features.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very, very old but available for us and comfortable, with classic furniture and décor. I appreciated the suite, as it was the only room with a safe. However, the service was great and very comfortable with first-rate assistance, even though the facilities seemed a bit old. The location was excellent for exploring central Porto Alegre, close to many shops, restaurants, and attractions. The dining consisted of scrambled eggs, sausage, fruit, cereals & breads - a typical Brazilian menu but adequate. Overall, it was a decent stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, overlooking the lagoon, were recently refurbished and offered free internet and breakfast, which was a great perk. However, my room felt a bit dated and cramped. The location was convenient in the downtown area, but there were limited dining options nearby at night.

Although the dining experience used to be wonderful, it has considerably shrunk. The French pastries were a nice touch, but the main menu seemed basic with scrambled eggs, sausage, fruits, cereals, and breads. Price-wise, it was fair for what was offered.

Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were comfortable and spacious with large bathrooms, but they appeared a bit old. The service was impeccable, with the staff being very helpful and accommodating. The location was convenient, allowing easy access to local tourist sites and metro stations. However, the area seemed run down and not ideal for evening outings. The dining options were good, offering a variety of food but at a higher price. The facilities were decent and well-organized.

The hotel has a nice bed in the room, although the room in the new wing was not as good as expected with an old cupboard, lifting vinyl floor covering, and an outdated bathroom. On the bright side, the small refrigerator is stocked daily with water and soda. The service was typically prompt and excellent during my 5-day stay, although there was some smoke around the pool area. The location is convenient, being next to the historical city center in the middel of downtown, ideal for exploring central Porto Alegre. The dining experience offered a variety of options like fruit, breads, cakes, meats, cheeses, scrambled eggs, and hot dogs, although it was in the basement, which could be improved. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory with room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, valet parking, and welcome drink available.

I stayed at this hotel for a few nights, and overall it was a good experience. The room was nice with a huge bed, and the bathroom was clean. However, the building regulations meant there were some older electricity issues, so they're in need of a major renovation. The service was really helpful and well-organized, especially around the pool area. The location was excellent, right in the central area of Porto Alegre with easy access to many shops, restaurants, and attractions. The dining options were included and very good, but a bit expensive. The facilities were satisfactory, though there were some areas that seemed dated.

My stay at the hotel was a bit underwhelming. The rooms had an old cupboard, vinyl floor covering that were lifting in parts, and a bathroom that needed updating, giving them a slightly outdated feel. However, they were comfortable with classic furniture and décor. The service was prompt and helpful, and the location was less than ideal in a run-down area, but great for exploring central Porto Alegre. The dining experience offered a decent spread, but lacked charm. The facilities were adequate but not outstanding.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is not ideal for evening outings as the area seems run down, but it's centrally located with easy access to shops, restaurants, and attractions. The rooms were not up to par with an old cupboard and vinyl floor coverings that were lifting, but the service was top-notch with prompt assistance and arrangements for a transfer to another nearby hotel. The dining options were varied, with a smorgasbord of dishes, but the facilities lacked a bit of charm.
