Top Zona Central Hotel Reviews

Casa Nova Hotel

Casa Nova Hotel

8/10 Good
"I liked how the staff goes above and beyond to accommodate the needs of the clients. The breakfast is impressively good. The pool was actually very enjoyable. NOW, the neighborhood might disappoint when you arrive, but its people are great. I recommend a restaurant near by ( you have to meet Alá there) to take a caipirihna. Everything is close by, pharmacies, beauty parlor, barber shop, attractions, and the beach is just an Uber away. The price fair too. Casa Nova is the SPOT!"

"Perfect for those traveling solo on business trips or for consulate interviews. The staff are very helpful. Juliana was there during my stay, and she was amazing helping me and my husband printing a lot of paperwork we needed for our consulate interview! We did everything by foot. 10min from the airport, mall and 8min from consulate. All walking distance. Highly recommend this hotel."
