Central Hotel Manaus

The staff was good except for one woman on reception. Breakfast is pretty good for a budget hotel. Location is very good. I have stayed here several times since 1989. New owners now and things are not the same, perhaps time will bring improvements.

Female receptionist was not very nice. She refused to put calls through to my room when my friends came to call. She was simply not friendly. Male receptionist who has been there since time began was friendly and kind as usual. The same men are allowed to hang out in the lobby 24 hours a day. They may or may not be connected to the hotel, but it was not nice to see them constantly, stretched out on the sofas watching tv, not offering to sit up straight and let others sit down.

The room was full of spiders and cobwebs and it did not smell good at all. The curtains did not fully cover the window so there was light in the early morning. It was full of mosquitos because the windows were not sealed properly so there were holes through which any kind of bugs could enter.

Location of the hotel is just great, right in the middle of the old town in the narrow streets full of vendours and small shops, close to the Opera and harbour.

No one in the hotel speaks any other language than Portugese. Our room was located on the ground floor with window facing the back part of the hotel. There were bars in the windows which were broken, so we didn't feel so much secure.
