Hotel Zibamba — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Joinville

My recent visit to Sao Francisco do Sul allowed me to stay at two places - Hotel Kontiki and later at Hotel Zibamba. Though Zibamba scores over Kontiki in some aspects, Kontiki according to me is a better place to stay.||||But this is a review about Zibamba.... so here goes - ||||Pros - ||||Excellent infrastructure - Zibamba is a professionally run hotel - large number of rooms on 3 floors - the hotel occupies the complete street - so I suspect they are a few buildings which have been connected.||||Very clean, all rooms have air con, TV, wireless internet and a small balcony with a view of the street and the sea. Though the rooms are a bit small.||||Breakfast is a good spread - usual continental fare... breads, juices, fruits, cold cuts....exotic teas.||||Excellent location - In the middle of the Historic centro, the hotel is just next to the main throughfare of Rua Babitonga and the 200 yrs anniversary monument.||||A sit out on the top floor allows you to sit in the open foyer and watch the skies and seas ... hmmm... and dream...|| ||Cons - ||||Sad poor service - everyone appears to be sad (Hey - who died?!). Very impersonal, and unlike Brazil.||||All in all, I think if the quality of service were improved, Zibamba may become competition for Kontiki and Solar da Beira. Else, they have a secure position at number 3 in Sao Francisco do Sul. (My ranking... has nothing to do with the truth - I hear there are some very good pousadas...

Same is the interior in the rooms. The rooms have small French balcony, which is nice. ||The amenities in the room are basic with CRT TV, Fridge, a cupboard and small toilet-bathroom. The apartment is fitted with split AC. I did not like the mattress. as it made squeaky sound. ||Free WiFi is available and ask reception for the password.||Breakfast and lunch are good. I like the salad bar for the lunch together with choice...

Stayed for a day in this hotel while in transit.||Sao Fransisco do sul is beautiful city and can see a lot of Brazilian culture. ||It was a pleasant stay in hotel though rooms are not that spaceous. ||We had issue with hot water for shower as the temperature could not be control effectively. About surrounding as you walk ou,t the jetty is at a walking distance and you can spend ur evening looking at beautiful...
