Usselt og beskidt hotel!

Vi kom en familie på 4, og værelset var på ingen måde som på hjemmesiden. Lækkert og beskidt! Rigtig usselt sted. Der var ikke aircondition og turist målene lå meget længere væk end hvad der står på hjemmesiden. Vi kunne ikke blive der grundet hotellets dårlige rengøring og værelsets tilstand. Vi valgte at sove i vores bil i stedet. Kan absolut ikke anbefale det!

PÉSSIMO HOTEL. ATENDIMENTO HORRÍVEL

Primeiro, eu sempre filtro com café da manhã incluído e o "hotels" filtrou esse hotel que não oferecia. Cheguei sozinho com uma mala de 23kg e outra de 10kg, uma mochila e uma sacola. Eles me viram mas sequer ofereceram ajuda para abrir a porta do hotel. Pedi ajuda com as malas para subir as escadas e entrar na recepção, aí o recepcionista veio reclamando. Quando cheguei no quarto: cheiro forte de mofo, sem lixo, paredes sujas, teto do banheiro toda mofada, o exaustor do banheiro estava imundo! Não tinha chaleira, nem frigobar, nada. Falta de qualquer tipo de manutenção. Tive que pedir toalha de banho, que não era 100% algodão. Nem sabonete nem nada. Banheiro pequeno, sem divisória. Toma-se banho e tudo fica molhado. Sem pano de chão. Aquecedor NAO funciona, tive que aguentar o frio de 5-8º graus. Quando pedi para irem ver se estava tudo bem, fui motivo de piada e risadas do atendente e do dono, na minha cara. Teria que aguentar ou pagar por outro quarto. Fui extremamente violado ao ser cobrado para fazer o check-out fora do horário oficial do hotel. Primeiro no dia anterior. Segundo, no dia correto, ao sair para tomar café novamente fui abordado. No mesmo dia, estava no banheiro e a camareira, muito grossa, batendo na porta para cobrar o check-out, sendo que faltava 01h. Não falam inglês. Fedor insuportável de cigarro do quarto do lado e da própria recepção, pois fumavam lá e incalacrava tudo.
