Hotel berhampiran Paseo Matilda, Asuncion

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.

I booked two nights for my wife and I and her brother with his wife and two teenage children. This was ”the” hotel in the 60's and nothing much seemed to have changed. The room fridge was barely cooling and no posted prices on the fridge. The rooms are oddly layed out and the view was through large outside shutters which are needed for the intense sunlight. Air conditioning was good once housekeeping set it for me! TV adequate. Bath shower with nice tolietries. Room was spotless but dated. Bed was comfy. the pool on the third floor is very large, unheated but dangerous. All pre ADA stuff non existent. Water was clean. Everyone had a great time. There was also a very large amount of deck chairs and a great view of the park. This hotel is c the best location in downtown Asuncion. Food servive avaiable poolside at reasonable prices. Breakfast buffet was very good with lots of fresh fruit. I ordered fried eggs and was charged about 50 cents each! The hotel staff was very friendly. Our 13 year old nephew was in heaven because soccer teams also stay here. Underground parking was an experience. We will stay here again on our return trip to Paraguay andenjoy the pool weather permitting.

We checked in and were given a room at the front. We had been up since very early in the morning and were tired by early evening but the room was very noisy due to a nightclub next door. We went to reception and asked the man on the desk to be moved to a quieter room - he told us the hotel was full and there were no rooms available. He really wasn't interested in what we had to say. We went back to the room and tried to sleep but the noise carried on until almost 6am. The room was also very shabby, dirty and run down. In the morning we went back to reception and a very helpful lady not only gave us the choice of rooms but also upgraded us to a suite. This room was at the back of the hotel so very quiet and very large; however the room was very grubby and run down- the net curtains were filthy along the bottom and the bed covers had stains on them. Swimming pool area is fine but only about half a dozen sunbeds and no shades for them though there are some tables and chairs to sit at. Breakfast was good. This hotel has the potential to be a lovely hotel but it needs a lot of upgrading and cleaning - they also need to get rid of the man on reception as he really isn't interested in the customers who are paying his wages.

El hotel queda en el corazón de Villa Morra rodeado del mejor shopping de la zona, sin embargo no invade la actividad para un bien descanso, salvo que en mi caso la habitación era bien pequeña y una de las paredes era un ventanal de pared a pared y aunque tenía cortina molestaba la claridad, por lo demás es el hotel ideal si uno va a hacer negocios o de turismo en Asunción. Buen wifi, tiene un Juan Valdez al lado del lobby, su bar a la noche y desayuno son en la tarraza con hermosas vistas y lindo fresco, también ahi está una piscina pero el area es pequeña. Delicioso y completo desayuno, reducida pero buenas opciones en la carta de su bar, sus tragos muy buenos y la picada que probé me encantó a precios bien razonables también. Super recomendado. Ese tema de la claridad le bajó 1 estrella, por lo demás excelente.
