Gran Hotel del Paraguay

It's like stepping back in time. The lovely courtyards, high ceilings, tall doors, and carefully selected decor sets a backdrop of old Paraguayan elegance. The staff is professional, polite, and helpful. Breakfast in the dining room (check out the amazing ceiling) is generous and delicious. The value here far exceeds the cost. Stay here. You'll feel like royalty.

Our room was lovely and spacious. The grounds are beautiful and inviting.

Our dinner at the hotel was less than satisfactory, service was slow and inattentive, and one of the meals—gnocchi—was mediocre.

Wonderful setting with lots of character and a slightly decadent charm. Garden and green areas all over the place, with a pool, a modest but decent gym and even a tennis court. Great staff too. I'll definitely repeat in my next trips to Asunción. The food in the restaurant is also very good.

Nothing, really. Now I recall that there were works in the premises but they were handled in a way that didn't disturb the guests. Everything went smooth, the frontdesk even allowed us to do a late check-out without extra charge. They do make your life easier.

If you are looking for lovely old world charm at an affordable price then stay here. I found the hotel to be relaxing, comfortable and soothing. Swimming pool a great size for a decent swim. Really enjoyed my stay.

The hotel is not that close to the centre of town for sightseeing. I stayed for New Year's Eve. It would be a good place to start your trip or end it.
