You feel good at this former family owned hostel now upgraded to hotel and I understand why other peple liked it. Lars Denmark ##### lars Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Daniel Apr 30, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities If you’re going to pick a hotel in this city, do not pick this hotel. The food is terrible. The only thing good was the beer and that was in a bottle. The room is very uncomfortable is a joke. You can barely turn around. The pictures are absolutely lies. It does not look like anything like that when you get there the TV only has channels in Portuguese ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Joanna Dec 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Unhelpful, tiny room Staff was supposed to be able to assist with some simple requests but they were uninterested. For example, i arrived from the airport at 21:30 and asked for a restaurant recommendation. They said everywhere was closed. Not the case at all and I found multiple restaurants open. Then the next day I asked for assistance to book ferry tickets as I have been unable to do so online. The advice I received was go out of the hotel to the left...I was not able to book tickets in time and missed my chance to go to Fogo. Then as I was leaving the hotel I asked if they could call me a taxi. The front desk person told me to go out and catch a taxi myself. Besides that the room itself was maybe the smallest I've ever had in the hotel and you can hear everything. The only thing the hotel has going for it is their location. ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### MABU Aug 22, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrible,my son very disappointed 👎 The hotel was terrible, from the moment we arrived we were given the room we didn’t book jus 1 tiny double room instead of superior suite with queen bed and single bed. The pillows and towels old and pillows stitched with a black thread unprofessionally probably hand stitching. Breakfast was terrible the bread was dry & stale, serving plates were tiny side plates. Fruits were not fresh the papaya looked very mashed, they do not serve fresh breakfast, I regret booking this hotel & will never again The bed was not comfortable and was not the same size as the mattress, is this place a cheap hostel? Because clearly it doesn’t deserve even 3stars. The mini fridge was full when we arrived and nobody told us that if we use the drinks we need to pay for them.. at least give guest a brochure on their arrival so that they know they don’t touch drinks in the mini bar, instead we will have a choice of going for drinks outside.. I was charged for drinks we used after I thought they came with the package of the booking. I should have stayed at the other hotel instead of coming to this hotel, loud noise at night, and the corridors too stuffy & hot, 👎👎 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7A15E0605999F9B485F61F65A10326E0B7F2004B1692738380362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8FD24383EDDA4C64FBFDB3DFA7C3AAE63883230A1692738380667.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1A8245F34EB26140F69865FE7D81F6AC7B6082701692738382080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MABU Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Le Meridien Ile Maurice](https://www.expedia.ca/Pointe-Aux-Piments-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Ile-Maurice.h524465.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Karamboa - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Karamboa-All-Inclusive.h4813332.Hotel-Information) > > [Honeymoon Resorts and Hotels in Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bahamas-Honeymoon-Hotels.0-0-d13-tHoneymoonHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Six Senses Zil Pasyon Seychelles](https://www.expedia.ca/Felicite-Island-Hotels-Six-Senses-Zil-Pasyon.h15908699.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius](https://www.expedia.ca/Balaclava-Hotels-The-Westin-Turtle-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1932372.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Los Angeles Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hilton-Los-Angeles-Airport.h5907.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Touareg - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Touareg-All-Inclusive.h4813390.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Clearwater](https://www.expedia.ca/Clearwater-Cabins.d6139224-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Montego Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d180106--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pool, Lake & Golf Access: Pine Lake Cabin w/ AC!](https://www.expedia.ca/Pine-Lake-Hotels-Whispering-Pines-Cabin-W-Pool.h21970242.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Leslieville](https://www.expedia.ca/Leslieville-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6348488-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hôtel Des Mille Collines](https://www.expedia.ca/Kigali-Hotels-Hotel-Des-Mille-Collines.h4230326.Hotel-Information) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Owen Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d6057875--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Kigali](https://www.expedia.ca/Kigali-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Kigali.h17860494.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vallartasol](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Hotel-Vallartasol.h551970.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Philippines](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Philippines-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d145-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hillside Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bulawayo-Hotels-Hillside-Manor.h19119558.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Montreal.h173366.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Denver (DEN) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/den/lax/denver-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Sedona (SDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sdx/vancouver-to-sedona) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yxx/calgary-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/msp/winnipeg-to-minneapolis) ### Cars ### General
