Hotel Bristol — Hotel in Asuncion

It corresponds in all aspects to expecations. Of course it is not a 5-star hotel (and I reviewd Sheraton as well), so one needs to adapt to the expectation of what is being booked and offered. When I stayed at this hotel, I was with 3 firends, and we stayed in a 4-people bedroom. To be quite honest, the hotel corresponded to expectations and was ok in price (USD80 a night for 4 people) - not cheap, but ok (you can get a 3-people bedroom in Sheraton for USD140/150).||||Staff was friendly, the room has a very powerful air-conditioning, was clean and spacious. We stayed there with comfort - beds, pillows and sheets were clean and comfortable.||||Shower was a bit odd - water stream was too low, but for one night it was fine.||||It is located in the heart of the city centre - which means you don`t get to walk around much in the evening, at least not alone. I would say it is not the safest place in the city to be sightseeing in the night. We stayed there with a specific purpose of visiting some places to buy electronic devices (SoundData, about two blocks away, has original merchandise for good price) and so the hotel served its purpose.||||Breakfast included a few choices of bread, some fresh fruit, eggs, toasts, black coffee, etc. Not a first class breaksfast, but it was according to expectations.||||Good and fee wi-fi and free parking space were good additions. Wi-fi was better than other 5-star hotels I have stayed in other places.||||In sum, a good hotel depending on the purpose of your trip and the expectations you have in a hotel....

Together with some friends, I stayed at the hotel between June 12th and June 13th. We walked in the hotel hoping there was room, as we did not make any reservation. Luckily there were spare rooms.|The rooms are large: the hotel offers multiple sleeping options for families.|Although a little old, the room I stayed in was very clean and in good condition: all lights worked and so did the minibar. Also the TV worked and has quite a big number of channels: but, as in many other hotels, the remote control was not so responsive, probably because the batteries were low.|I was positively surprised by the conditions of the bathroom: everything was very clean and the towels were really soft and had a nice smell (so not that industrial smell). The shower worked fine, with very hot water.|The morning after we did breakfast, which was included in room rate.|The food served looked clean and fresh.|Some opportunities for improvement: |-inform the wi-fi credentials upon check-in|-additional lock to the room entry door|-unless I missed them, add some international channels to the TV as the number of the foreign customers is likely to increase ||All in all this is a great option to find some rest in the middle of Asunción. So considering its location and the inclusion of the breakfast to the room rate, the price/quality ratio is among the best ones...
