A friend and I chose this hotel for it's proximity to the bus terminal - easy walking distance, even while dragging huge suitcases. At first we were nervous because some local friends were telling us that the area around the bus terminal is a bit sketchy and unsafe at night -but this hotel was somewhat of a rose among thorns. We felt safe inside, the property is beautiful, and the hotel provides a buffet dinner (extra cost) so we didn't have to venture out after dark. I thought the rooms and bathroom were great - comfortable bed, heated shower - and the hotel offers 24 hour coffee/tea and cookies in the dining room. My only qualm is about the food - the dinner was nothing spectacular especially for the price, and the breakfast was not yet set out when we went down to eat. We had to catch an early bus so we went downstairs right at 6:00AM for the breakfast but only bananas and fruits were set out - no cooked or hot foods / bread / buns etc. There was bustling in the kitchen though - so I assume they were cooking more, but by the time we left for the terminal at 6:30 nothing more had been set out. I would've liked to eat a bit more than just cookies and a banana before our long bus ride, but some food is better than nothing. There is wifi available but from our room the signal seemed very weak and kept cutting in and out. The staff was very friendly and helpful and some spoke very good English. Overall my experience was quite good - I just wish we had gotten more of a breakfast to get my moneys worth.

“Décevant”

Nous avons réservé cet hôtel car il contenait de bonnes critiques, mais nous n’avons pas réalisé que les critiques de TA avaient toutes quelques années ou plus. Nous arrivions tard en bus depuis le Chaco et prenions l'avion tôt le lendemain matin de l'aéroport. Un endroit propre et sûr près du terminal des bus pour poser nos têtes ferait l'affaire. Il est clair que l’hôtel a besoin d’une mise à jour: le décor estompé dans l’ensemble et la chambre / salle de douche était «triste», porte et serrure de la chambre fragiles. Pas sûr qu'une seule voyageuse se sente à l'aise. La climatisation n’était pas assez puissante. Le personnel était serviable mais ne parlait pas anglais. Nous sommes partis avant le petit-déjeuner, donc je ne peux rien en dire. Même si cela va à contre-sens, si vous cherchez juste un endroit où dormir pendant votre voyage, nous vous conseillons vivement de prendre un taxi depuis la gare routière vers l'un des hôtels de la chaîne hôtelière que nous réalisons maintenant moins cher à Asuncion et d'un meilleur rapport qualité-prix. argent.

“Average hotel, not bad for people on a budget”

The bad highlight of the hotel was the room. Not bad per-se, but not very good either, by comparison to other small hotels I've been to. The bed was very good though, but the bathroom was cold as hell, because there was a window very high almost near the ceiling that was open and I traveled there... Plus

The bad highlight of the hotel was the room. Not bad per-se, but not very good either, by comparison to other small hotels I've been to. The bed was very good though, but the bathroom was cold as hell, because there was a window very high almost near the ceiling that was open and I traveled there in winter. The food however was very good, always in a buffet fashion, where you serve yourself what you want. They always had good offer of meats and vegetables. Fruits and desserts were good too. The hotel also offers a free wifi, which is always important for me to keep in touch with family and friends while on trip. I also was able to keep some cash in the front desk's safe box, and I had no trouble with this. The location of the hotel is not the most convenient, because it's a bit far from downtown Asuncion, but it is however very near the central bus station of the city, which is nice. There was also a good variety of stores and small shopping centers at a walking distance from the hotel, and it's near two large avenues. Overall, the hotel is not bad if you're on a budget, and the staff is very friendly.
