4/10 Fair

Plaza são Rafael used to be a high standard hotel in Porto Alegre. It is sad and disappointing to see that the rooms are very outdated. AC doesn't work well, WiFi is very spotty, tv is not smart, it is very small and has terrible reception of the few channels available. It seems the cleaning standards are lacking I was in a non smoking room but there was a cigarette butt sitting on the window during my whole stay. Elevators are noisy and old and the breakfast is good but not near impressive as it used to be. I had a capeletti soup from the restaurant and it was tottaly bland.

Hotel bem preservado, muito bem cuidado, mas senti falta de room service após as 23:00! Questões de atendimento, creio que ordem da direção, deixam um pouco a facilitar a vida do hóspede!

O café foi excelente. Atendimento perfeito de todos os funcionários. Não gostamos da garagem ser terceirizada, muita burocracia. Também não gostei pois tinha cachorro em um apartamento no mesmo andar que eu .

Peter, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A experiência foi ótima, do início ao fim. O quarto era espaçoso, a cama muito confortável, o banheiro também era grande (exceto pelo box, esse era um cubículo) e bem limpo. A piscina, embora grande, não apresentava águas quentes, nem profundidade. Fomos ver as placas informando que precisava solicitar toalhas só depois de já estarmos saindo da área. A jacuzzi era bem espaçosa, a céu aberto, bem quentinha. O café da manhã foi a estrela, tudo muito gostoso, bem servido e com muita variedade.

Quarto antigo, por isso não confortável como era de se esperar. O odor do encanamento do banheiro muito forte e desagradável, solicitei a limpeza, e fui atendida, no entanto foi apenas paliativo. A televisão tinha imagem muito ruim, pois antiga.

Apesar de antigo, mantém o padrão Plaza

Quarto super espaçoso e limpo, porém o chuveiro tem vazamento para o piso do banheiro. As toalhas poderiam ser mais novas. Banho bom e cama super confortável! Café da manhã variado. Usei apenas para pernoite.
