Hotel berhampiran Paseo Gato Verde, Asuncion

El hotel es sorprendente. Muy bello y muy bien ubicado. Cerca de los principales puntos de la ciudad. Todo el equipo es súper bueno. Son demasiado atenciosos y el desayuno es divino. Hay parqueo para el auto. Quiero volver pronto.

I arrived on 12 th of march after flying over from europe. I spent the day exchanging money, had a tour around Asuncion, had dinner, and afterwards I just wanted to sleep. But sleeping is a no go in this hotel, because there is this bar Acuarela on the top, where the swimming pool is. And they play music so load, that the walls are shaking. I went up there to complain, but the music up there is so load, that you have to stick the finger in yout ears, and nobody understands you or wants to understand you anyway. I was really, really tired, but the basses were too loud. I tried to relax, but how can you relax with basses imitating fast heart beats. I hoped the music would stop at 12.00 o clock, but it did not. Then I hoped it would stop at 1.00 o clock, but it did not. Then I hoped, it would stop at 3 o clock, but the music went on and on even harder than before. The discjockey probably is deaf. At 5 o clock I finally gave up hope, and got up, as I had to leave the hotel at 8 o clock anyway. Eventually I went down to have breakfast, where the next disappointment waited for me: No breakfast buffet at all, but just one waiter, you have to wait for. Eventually he finds the time to ask you what kind of coffee you want. And then you have to wait again, and all you get is a very small breakfast ( 1 small croissant, 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of ham, jam and your coffee). Conclusion: Go somewhere else if you want to enjoy a good night s sleep. Avoid this hotel as it is not a hotel but a discothec.

Das Hotel ist relativ neu und hat eine tolle Lage. Wir wurden sehr aufmerksam mit einem sehr schönen Lächeln empfangen und konnten auch sofort das Zimmer beziehen. Die Betten sind sehr bequem. Die Spülung der Toilette macht Lärm wie eine Alarmanlage was noch behoben werden muss. Leider war auch der Pool nicht nutzbar weil arbeiten verrichtet wurden und es dann noch eine geschlossene Veranstaltung gab. Für den hohen Preis fand ich dies nicht gerechtfertigt. Darum der Punktabzug. Beim Fitnessraum ist auch noch Luft nach oben. Er liegt wunderschön im oberen Stockwerk. Das Frühstück war ordentlich. Es gab viel Obst aber keine Joghurts oder Quark. Das Personal an der Bar war überaus freundlich.

My goodness. No clue where to start. I stayed here 20 years ago the last time and absolutely nothing has changed until today. Mud and dirt everywhere even inside the public hallways, the elevator not working, breakfast was good but cramped. Staff couldn’t even say good morning (in Spanish), rooms are in dire need of pairing and renovation. Dirty walls, stained furniture, missing lightbulbs. No soundproofing whatsoever, bathrooms straight out if 1970. cramped and cluttered decoration out of someone’s worst nightmare. My goodness what a disappointment. Four stars? Not even 1. Tje only good thing was the area which is one of the best of Asunción. This hotel is a bad example of how a hotel should not be: old, neglected, dirty and cramped with cheap , noisy tourgroups that yell loudly all night. Pay a little more and get the Los Alpes or Le Pelican next door. Don’t ruin your vacation in this fantastic country by staying in a pocilga run by greedy , unscrupulous individuals without morals.

Let me start with the pros about this hotel. It is in a very good and secure location near restaurants and shopping. The rooms are spacious and clean and the beds are very comfortable. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There is a nice swimming pool on the top floor and a fairly well-equipped gym as well. There is a spa where you can get a good massage for a reasonable price. The hotel restaurant, Tacuare’e, serves excellent food and the service is top notch. The breakfasts have a fairly good selection of food, but it literally never changes. It is the same thing every day. It would have been nice to have a change since we were there for three weeks. The coffee is awful and you are charged extra for cappuccino, etc. Now let me talk a little about some of the cons. This is what I would call a minimalist hotel and I really should write minimalist in capital letters. The lobby is plain and boring and the rest of the hotel follows its example. The walls are white and literally devoid of any color or decorations of any kind – no pictures, nothing. That goes for the rooms as well. There is nowhere comfortable to sit in the lobby either. They have what looks like oversized mattresses that rest on the floor and are up against the wall, but there are no back rests. They look cheap and believe me, they are uncomfortable. Speaking of uncomfortable, the rooms have very little in the way of furniture – a small desk with a chair and another chair that is not only hard, but extremely uncomfortable. The closets are small with very little shelf space and there were only 4 clothes hangers. There were no drawers to store clothing. There was nowhere to place luggage and we came with a lot. Although the bathroom was clean, it smelled. It was the first thing we noticed each time we came into our room. Although the hotel tries to be accommodating, it needs significant improvement. We often had to ask multiple times for things we needed before they finally appeared in our room: extra hangers, something to put our luggage on, etc. Housekeeping was often slow and our room was not cleaned two times during our stay. And finally, according to the rules for 4-star hotels, one bottle of water per guest should be provided free of charge. The only water was in the minibar and we were charged for it. Although we enjoyed our stay at the hotel, we probably won’t be going back. There are other more attractive options in the area.

We spent two days here after a week in the countryside. We were recognized as Spire Elite and upgraded to #601 as I requested because it has a view of the river. The room was spotless, comfy bed, large tub with a walk in shower. Huge selection of channels on the tv. Large swimming pool on five. The water was cold but clean. The club lounge is closed so breakfast was in the street level lounge as well as happy hour. Few guest because of the quarantine. Aureliano checked us in and the other ladies at reception were always helpful, I would recommend this hotel to anyone and we will stay here again when return. They take Coveid precautions serious.
