Não inclui café da manhã na diária. Um inconveniente foi o fato de o Hoteis.com informar na confirmação da reserva que o quarto seria com banheiro privativo e, ao chegar no local, a confirmação enviada para a hospedagem informar banheiro compartilhado. Não entramos em conflito, mas o hoteis.com errou feio nessa. As anfitriãs são muito receptivas e simpáticas. Quarto bastante razoável. Somente os colchões é que estão muito desgastados e desconfortáveis. O banheiro compartilhado é bom, com água quente. As áreas comuns são muito boas e aconchegantes. Valeu pela tarifa e pelas instalações. Cozinha compartilhada completa. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We really enjoyed our stay here.
