We were quite disappointed by this stay. The bathtub was quite old and would be one I would have a bath in as it didn’t look clean. Our king bed was also two twins pushed together with a sheet on top (not fitted) so both nights it kept falling off.
The pillows were also very uncomfortable.
The fridge never got colder than 18C.
The common area was quite messy. The first day there were blankets everywhere including the floor, by the time we check out three days later, the couch looked the same with blankets and pillows everywhere, untouched from days before.
The staff was also not friendly, could use some work on their customer service. Won’t be coming back

Las atenciones fueron muy buenas, muy cálido el lugar y cómodo.
If this were a cheap hostel then the initial non-working toilet, broken fridge, door not closing to bathroom, threadbare carpet, barely no lights on the stairway to second floor, the overall sense of a room that needed cleaning, loud TV noise from lounge below at midnight (by the manager watching TV), so-called orange juice for breakfast (which was watered down orangeade) then all of this would be expected at a cheap price. However, this was not at a cheap price and the amount charged was in fact more at Lupama than the amount charged at better hotels in town and walkable to restaurants (which we went to and forfeited our non-refundable prepaid night at Lupama). In short: Avoid.
Muy lindo hotel excelente desayuno y la atención de giulieta
La piscina esta muy buena temperatura y limpieza
Felicitaciones regresaremos

Chegamos no hotel e fomos informados de que a reserva estava errada, que o quarto considerado era de 02 adultos e 01 criança, porém reservamos para 03 adultos e temos o comprovante do hoteis.com Com isso acontecendo, queriam nos cobrar um valor extra que equivaleria a reserva inteira novamente! Um absurdo completo, e o pior é que tínhamos uma nova reserva para o mesmo hotel. Tivemos que acionar o hoteis.com para trocarmos de hospedagem pois fomos muito, mas muito, mau tratados, eramos mau olhados pelo pessoal da recepção, foram mau educados a ponto de ficarmos com receio de estar dentro do hotel e de deixar nossas coisas la. Eu NÃO recomendo para NINGUÉM esse lugar, foi uma experiência horrorosa que quase terminou com a tranquilidade da nossa viagem de férias. Sem contar que o frigobar tinha restos de iogurte abertos, ou seja, limpeza terrível também!
Me gusto el hotel. Y la relacion precio-calidad. Es tranquilo y comodo. Con pileta.Lo unico que el desayuno no era tan fresco. Hubo un problema con la reserva. Porq reserve para 3 y me querian dar para 2 y cobrar el 3ro. Pero lo pudieron solucionar a tiempo.

Friendly staff, clean large rooms
the rooms were very large and clean. The bathroom was also modern and clean. The staff were very friendly and let us leave our bags there after we checked out. The pool was not very nice looking so that was a bit disappointing, and the hotel is a bit out of town from the restaurants, but the hotel staff and modern rooms and amenities make up for it.

Um bom hotel. Na realidade a classificação deveria ser de pousada, agradável e aconchegante, mas simples.
Estive em dezembro de 2016 nesta Hosteria e me surpreendi ao chegar para o check in e ter que pagar o taxi que me trouxe e que o hotel havia oferecido. Na verdade, eles oferecem o serviço de chamar o taxi e passar as informações do vôo para que o taxista te aguarde na chegada, mas o valor a ser pago a ele é por sua conta. No site da Hosteria, isso não fica claro, inclusive por ter um "presentinho" oferecendo o traslado do aeroporto. Enfim... o hotel é bem localizado, dá pra ir a pé para a rua central, numa caminhada de uns 20 minutos, tem quartos amplos e arejados. O chão tem aquecimento no carpete e as instalações são novas. Os quartos do segundo andar e com vista para o lago são melhores. Não há elevador e é preciso subir as malas pela escada. O café é simples, mas bom. Na época em que lá estive, o gerente não estava e só havia duas estagiárias na recepção, que foram muito simpáticas e prestativas.
