The room I got was small, the air conditioning didn't work very well, but for what I paid it was okay. It was clean and the breakfast was good. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Solid, well-located hotel that did exactly what we needed. We used it as a base for four nights while doing trips out of the GAM, and the location next to Real Cariari made everything easy, including a 2am tour pickup and quick access to the airport. Rooms were clean and comfortable, staff were helpful at every hour, and check in and check out were straightforward. Good value if you want something practical and well connected rather than a resort. Would stay again.
