"Hotel bien situé, prêt des service et attraction. Le gros probleme est que le matelas etait dans une condition épouvantable, douleur toutes les nuit a cette hotel, les vibration causé par les vehicules et transports dans la rue, était impressionnante."
"Place was clean. Food at the restaurant was good. Staff helpfull: 1. Had a lady at the front desk that really did a good job speaking English. 2. Very good staff at restaurant. 3. We had a problem with our AC during the night. They send an technician asap. Resolved the problem in 15 minutes. We had hotels in the past where there was no technician during graveyard shift, so we really appreciated this. Very good roomservice also. Would recommend."
"This stay was amazing. The owner, Regina, and her staff is very kind and helpful, the property is very clean and comfortable, breakfast is sorted with many items and fresh bread and fruits, and there’s many cozy lounges to relax, read, or meet new friends. Regina herself is always present checking if we need anything.
The staff is always ready to advise on places to visit, or the best restaurants in town.
We highly recommend this place. You’ll be surprised."
"Nice people, great location, good breakfast! We walked almost everywhere in the historic center no matter of the rain. The restaurant and staff were very helpful. We had dinner at Majorica once which was really great and walking distance from the hotel. Thank you"
"Gorgeous property very close to the lake and the Quintandinha Hotel, gallery and the trail to the summit. The owner is so nice and has great taste! The staff was very courteous and professional. Great value-Highly recommended."
"O lugar é uma imersão na História, porque o imóvel já foi Embaixada do Japão e mantém um pequeno museu na entrada e itens de valor histórico nos quartos e áreas comuns. O lugar é limpo, bem localizado, pertinho da Cervejaria Itaipava e Palácio de Cristal, além de restaurantes e padarias. Oferece um café da manhã delicioso e bem variado. Os funcionários são atenciosos e ainda recebemos, no check-in, uma lista com sugestões de restaurantes próximos e um mapa de Petrópolis. Só não é muito...
