Fortaleza hotellit lähellä Centro Dragão do Mar de Arte e Cultura

Plussat: Best part is the buffet breakfast. Has many choices. Staff speaks English and French! Great value for money

Miinukset: The guy on the lower bunk who woke up at 6AM and started talking on his cell phone to a friend super loud, but that’s not the hostels fault

Plussat: One of the best hostels I've been at in Brazil ! The staff is AMAZING! Really lovely and helpful ! The rooms are clean, the showers and baths are big, the breakfast is good with a nice variety. It was a pleasure staying at the hostel and you get more than what you pay.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: They had a lot of staff. They where very nice and helpful. Also they made your bed, which to me makes my day.

Miinukset: It's a bit far from the beach.

Plussat: Good location near to the beach. Breakfast very nice. The hostel have a lot space to enjoy and rest.

Plussat: The room was great, with lots of space and bathrooms were good too (2 bathrooms for 8 bed room). There’s lots of common areas. The breakfast was good and big! The staff were really friendly

Miinukset: It wasn’t really social hostel despite of the common areas - it could just been due to the low season. Kitchen can be a bit bigger and with more space to store things and cook.

Plussat: Wonderful hostel, a charming building with a cute garden, especially when compared to the not-so-green streets of Fortaleza. It was very clean and had good WiFi and a couple of places to hang around to meet new people. It seems to be especially popular with foreigners. The best thing is the staff: everyone is super nice and you feel welcomed the whole time. "Karl from Karlsruhe", the owner of the place, gave me plenty of insider advice about Fortaleza and Brasil in general.

Plussat: Nice breakfast. Good staff. Cold beer. Amazing price for what you get.

Miinukset: ...everything fine

Plussat: Karl is so nice!! He gives great tips and also the hostel looks nice, it is clean

Miinukset: To be honest I think it's not worth the price for a private room, for that price it's better and cheaper to take a hotel. Our room was next to the garden and it was so loud at night guest were just talking and watching TV and in the morning when the women were preparing the breakfast at 06:30 again it was so so loud, you could hear everything! Then people were having breakfast next to the room at 07:00 so we barely could sleep. Just don't make a room next to the kitchen/'living room'. I'm okay with a bit noise but this was way too much. I think the hostel is really OK but again for this price I would look for somewhere else next time.

Plussat: Lots of good places to hang out and many bathrooms to choose from! Attracts nice guests and the staff are so helpful and genuinely lovely to hang out with. You can tell the owner cares about this place and he’s very friendly and helpful too!

Miinukset: Very little, actually! Was quiet season so there wasn’t much happening in the evenings

Plussat: Clean, nice staff, and high quality dorms.

Miinukset: There was nothing around.

Plussat: Close to the beach

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location, staff. They upgraded us which we really apreciate.

Miinukset: Nothing really. In the beginning it's hard to find the pool on the 16th floor. Not very convenient but as soon as you find it it"s okay. Room smells a bit old but if you use the AC it's gone within a second.

Plussat: Hotel is very basic. Friendly staff, pretty good breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: The door to the balcony and the safe did not close. i only stayed in the hotel to sleep and the room was on the 10th Floor so quite ok for me, but for other purposes it does not meet expectations. Also contacten the hotel for a copy of the invoice but no response.

Plussat: Location only.

Miinukset: Did not like the beds. uncortable. The breakfast was very simple. Can easily be very improved. Rooms beach front was a "cortesy" from the hotel, but actually extremely noisy. The hotel should change doors and windows, inside and outside, as there is lots of noise from inside the hotel and the outside.

Plussat: Everything was good

Miinukset: Wifi could work better in the room

Plussat: Breakfast was great!

Plussat: Clean, nice people

Miinukset: They include the 10 percent, it's not optional

Miinukset: Breakfast

Plussat: Staff were friendly

Miinukset: They did not detect the room had been prepaid until after check in. I had to go back later to the desk to get refund

Plussat: the roof top with the pool with its view is amazig, staff very polite and helpfull, room very clean and confortable, a huge breakfast

Plussat: Cleidiene is the best housekeeper. She was very professional, attentive, friendly and thorough. I will always ask for Cleidiene!

Miinukset: Some front desk staff were friendlier than others.

Plussat: Meet all of my expectations and the room was quiet.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice size room, with a great view! And the swimming pool was always open early in the morning.

Plussat: Nice room, lovely breakfast, safe location, pool and roof terrace nice

Miinukset: 15min walk to beach,

Miinukset: The AC was not working well in my room and when notified to staff they just ignored the comment. Must be a recurring issue then.

Plussat: the breakfast is good !!!

Plussat: Comfortable bed, good location, friendly staff.

Miinukset: It was noisy with people coming back late at night. Could improve sound proofing.

Plussat: Great location near beach. Cheap and cheerful.

Miinukset: The breakfast could have more variety. The rooms aren’t very big. The swimming pool is small and very shallow.

Plussat: Thank you to Hazem and Gabby! Such wonderful hosts who looked after me so well. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt so welcomed and happy to have chosen that property to stay at! The other guests were also lovely. Very well run and organised property!

Plussat: The staff at Hotel Encontro do Sol was very helpful: they helped in every request I had. The breakfast was great with natural juices and fruits. The location is perfect and I think it should be strange to find a place with better value/price relation.

Plussat: Late check in - we arrived in a late flight from Rio and had no problem checking in and do the rest in the morning. Friendly staff (although no English). Breakfast was OK.

Miinukset: Room could have been cleaner

Plussat: The host was very nice and helped us renting a car! Location is great, nearby restaurants and the beach. Breakfast was good; fresh fruits, bread, eggs, pies, cheese, ham and more.

Miinukset: Everything looked a bit outdated and old. The airconditioning on our room did not work very well, it was either too hot or too cold and the swing option didn't work because the grid was gone.

Plussat: The facility was good and nice

Miinukset: The location is a bit scary

Plussat: We really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere in the hotel. The breakfast was great and everything was self-made. The hotel is located perfectly in between the beach and many nice restaurants. The hosts were very friendly and open. We felt safe and welcome during our whole stay. I would definitely stay here again!

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Breakfast great

Plussat: The breakfast was excellent. There were various options. Highly recommened

Plussat: Although the hotel did not match the superb reviews, this is a decent place to stay. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Good air conditioning was a welcome relief from muggy weather.

Miinukset: It is somewhat in need of upgrading floor tile; the hallway to ground floor rooms is very narrow; the TV equipment is old and the remote had to be replaced. I was expecting much better. The bed linen was cheap and insufficient.

Plussat: Price-performance ratio very good. WiFi, shower and AC impeccable. Breakfast correct, I enjoyed the different fresh fruit juices. Very friendly and helpful staff. For the price you cannot expect a good View or luxury Pool. It was a short walk to the Center and the beach. The hotel also called an travel Agency for a very recommendable day trip to Morro Branco, thank you for that!

Plussat: It is located in a good spot

Miinukset: They didn't let have any guests even though it says on the app that I am allowed to. they wanted to charge me double the price per night for having a guest even if it's for a few minutes

Plussat: Location and the view, the apartament was ok

Miinukset: Old hotel, bad maitnance, roaches and insects, the shower was cold in the first apartament

Plussat: The room is big, the apartment has a lot of space. The shower with temperature control was very nice, though. The bedroom is kind of tight because of the king sized very comfy bed. Air conditioners were ok (both bedroom and living room). Filters were clean, but there was still some smell of mould coming from it. Breakfast has a lot of varieties and is tasty. Location is a plus. The property is in one of the best neighborhoods of the city, one block from the great Praia de Iracema beach, there are good restaurants nearby, as well as pharmacies, coffee shops and other amenities. The flat offered free parking, staff was always nice and receptive and the check-in/checkout process was a breeze.

Miinukset: Room is not well equipped. Furniture is not comfortable, there's no cutlery at all, no dishes, pans and so on. Bathroom is not equipped with shampoo, only soap (not a big deal, but I've seen this in every single hotel I stayed in my whole life). The real bad thing about the property: from the very beginning of our stay, when we first entered the room, we smelled something very bad, something we would later recognize as bad odor from the drains (sewage return). At first, we thought about complaining and changing room immediately, but the odor went away and we noticed it appeared only some times of the day (probably when the upper neighbor used the kitchen sink, bathroom or something), and since we stayed most part of the day out, the problem wasn't critical.

Plussat: The staff were friendly and the breakfast was great!

Miinukset: The toilet in our room didn’t work, we had a staff member come to fix it but not long after it stopped working again. We were able to change rooms - with everything being fine, except for the light in the bathroom now not working.

Plussat: Good location, clean, confortable, good breakfast with a great view on the rooftop

Plussat: Staff was very friendly and polite! Good location!

Miinukset: The place was outdated, shabby and uncomfortable furniture,aluminum chairs and plastic covered sofa, there was a kitchen but no utensils. The breakfast was abundant but the quality of the food wasn’t very good. Swimming pool very small and dirty!

Plussat: Siainti hyvä. Henilökunta asiallista

Miinukset: En osaa sanoa. Minulle hyvä

Plussat: The staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly and the location was perfect. Very close to the beach

Miinukset: For the price it wasn't worth it. I've stayed in nicer places for less money. The rooms were very basic and the bed was not very comfortable. There were also no plates or silverware or cooking utensils inside the apartment so don't buy groceries to cook at the hotel.

Miinukset: the room was not the one booked, they charged for shampoo and soaps, the rate for a second person for only one night was abusive.

Plussat: The place would have been fine if it wasn't for the poor buisness practices they employ

Miinukset: Once you have a reservation and begin your stay they have massive price gouging practices and refuse to honor their online prices. They tried to charge me over double just to have a guest come upstairs with me and I pointed out that the price for 3 or 4 people in one room would have been less than that and the guest wasn't even staying over, yet they know that once you are staying there you are trapped and they can charge you outragous prices for anything extra. I find this practice to be highly unethical and many of their other policies are unethical and shady. I tried to find a reasonable solution to my issues here, but they refused to even talk to me saying that the front desk is some how not part of the hotel and can not make desisions. I also tried to email the email that they gave me and I got no response. Supposedly no actual hotel management was around for my stay to discus anything with me. They just want to scam you out of as much money as they can. I would not stay here.

Plussat: The bedroom is excellent, the beds were confortable, the bathroom was new and extra clean! Location is great near the beach and a few restaurants.

Miinukset: The swimming pool area needs a few improvements.

Plussat: The rest was very good. Location, room, breakfast, friendly employees, the WiFi. We couid even have a check out at 17.00 withhout extra charge.

Miinukset: The swimmingpool is small and near the street. Not really inviting.

Plussat: Everything especially the wonderful welcome we received on arrival. Huge room, great wifi & excellent breakfast. Super clean. 1 block from the beach. Right next to public transport.

Plussat: The staff was really nice and they tried their best even when comunication wasn't that easy. It was clean and modern.

Miinukset: It was quite noisy

Plussat: Good location, relatively new rooms, friendly staff. Overall good value for money.

Miinukset: Breakfast could be much better, and you can see that rooms were renovated in a rush - no place to hang towels for example in bathroom. Overall building still appears to be under small renovations, nothing that really gets in the way though if you look the other way. Beds are softer than usual.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Wifi was slowly

Plussat: Nothing special, it is regular hotel.

Miinukset: I've stayed in several hotels in my life (Sheraton, Four Points, Holiday Inn, Sofitel, etc.) and I have never experienced what happened to me in this hotel. Around 4.30 AM someone from cleaning service tried to enter my room while I was sleeping. She unlocked the door with her key and pushed hard, only to be stopped by an inside lock. Although I shouted her to get out as loud as I could, she took some time (I believe I woke up the entire floor). I will definitely never go back to that hotel (or any other Costa do Mar) in my life.

Plussat: Liked the location, the overall cleanliness of the hotel..the staff was very nice and helpful, but only person on staff spoke English; the bed was surpringly comfortable and the air conditioner worked great and cooled the room adequately; the room actually had an electrical plug that was US compatible so it saved me having to use an adapter.

Miinukset: Floors are tile and the doors do not offer any soundproofing..so even the smallest of noises traveled from the hallway or from other rooms from the floor above and below; the towels needed an upgrade.

Plussat: Close to the Ocean

Miinukset: breakfast, Not very good and very limited and alot of the time cold.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Bed and bathroom
