Hotel in zona Mostra Brasil Popular Arts Museum, João Pessoa

O Manaíra Hostel está em uma área bem localizada, possui uma boa área interna e externa com ambientes bem agradáveis no estilo “casarão”, espaçoso e arejados, tudo bem cuidado e limpinho. Realmente notei a preocupação com os protocolos sanitários do covid-19. Fui atendido na recepção por uma senhora que se mostrou gentil e receptiva e me passou todas as informações necessárias durante meu período de hospedagem. Possui um café da manhã da manhã bem servido (tapioca,bolo,ovos mexidos, suco natural, café, pão e fruta) porém se estiver com pressa acorde cedo (começa a ser servido as 07:00hrs) pois em torno das 08:00/08:30hrs fica um pouco demorado a entrega do café na mesa que nesse momento está sendo de forma individual devido a pandemia. Fiquei hospedado no quarto masculino compartilhado onde haviam 4 camas estilo beliche, chegando no quarto haviam 2 camas livres, uma na parte de cima e uma na parte de baixo , foi solicitado pela moça da recepção que eu ficasse na de cima, porém não achei justo pois quem havia chegado primeiro no hostel havia sido eu e eu tinha preferência pela cama na parte de baixo do beliche.. então me acomodei na cama inferior com meus pertences pessoais e logo após dei uma saída para conhecer a cidade, retornando ao hostel a noite fui intimado pelo rapaz que estava na recepção do porquê de eu ter me acomodado na cama inferior sendo que havia sido solicitado para que ficasse na de cima.. (não gostei da abordagem dele e sem muitas explicações segui para o quarto), Resumidamente: o moço da recepção retirou todos meus pertences sem minha autorização e acomodou na cama a cima, e quando cheguei ja havia o outro hóspede na cama que eu havia me acomodado, não gostei dessa atitude, nem da forma como me foi questionado, sempre me hospedei em hostels pelo Brasil e exterior e a escolha por cama A ou B vai de acordo com à disponibilidade do quarto e não por reserva antecipada, aliás eu estava pagando o mesmo valor que o outro hóspede. No outro dia fui questionado novamente na recepção e disse para a senhora que estava ali que não achava justo essa atitude pois o quarto é compartilhado e quem chega primeiro que deveria ter essa prioridade. Outro ponto negativo é, paguei um pouco mais caro por optar por um quarto que tivesse ar condicionado.. porém o mesmo só é ligado a partir das 21hrs e desligado logo pela manhã. No dia que cheguei estava muito quente durante a tarde e não consegui descansar no quarto devido ao calor. Durante o dia achei um pouco barulho devido a muitas crianças que estavam hospedadas também no hostel com suas famílias.

O café da manhã é muito bom, como de costume nos Hotéis da rede Village. Contudo, as instalações precisam de algumas melhorias. O black-out do quarto permite entrada de bastante luz. O.ar-condicionado direciona a ventilação diretamente em cima.da cama (apesar de algumas pessoas preferirem assim, particularmente não gosto.

Os funcionários são muito prestativos. O café da manhã é bem variado e muito completo, servido em um espaço bem amplo. A academia deixa a desejar, pois só tem duas esteiras, alteres e uma bicicleta, que estava quebrada.

Nord is a chain of hotels in this part of Brazil and we’ve stayed at other locations, and they were alright. This hotel used to be the Skyler Mar Hotel. It has been a Nord hotel for 6 years, but they still have the name of the old hotel on all the rooms (“Skyler Mar Hotel” see photo). I guess they haven’t had the time to take the old signs down. Strike one. We were staying in the city for only one night for the Christmas holidays and the Nord Luxxor Cabo Branco Hotel was conveniently located near where we wanted to go. We checked in and went up to our room and the first thing my wife and I noticed was that the room stunk of mold. It appeared that they tried to clean the room, based on the smell of cleaning supplies, but it didn’t do the trick. I went down to the receptionist to let her know that since I was only staying one night, I didn’t want to change rooms, but that they should be aware of the terrible odor in our unit. She offered to change our room, but I didn’t trust that the next room didn’t have the same problem. Strike two. The room itself was a bit Spartan. The bathrooms did not have individual toiletries but rather, soap and shampoo dispensers on the wall, which I only expect to find in lower-end hotels (this hotel charges about the same as most of the hotels in the area, so the least they could do is give me a bar of soap or charge me less). Our room had a view of an airshaft, but I won’t complain since I didn’t choose to upgrade to a room with a view. There was a lack of lighting fixtures in the room, so you either had to sleep with a bright light on or remain in complete darkness. On the positive side, breakfast, which is included, was pretty good and the restaurant was attractive. Overall, for the the experience we had, I don’t think I’d be staying here again and I don’t think I can recommend you stay here either.

A classificação deste hotel é fake. Não se iludam com a faixada nas fotos, é somente faixada. Móveis deteriorados, colchão horrível, travesseiros muito finos. Não foi possível abrir a janela do quarto por questão de insalubridade.Diretamente você se deparará com lixo jogado dos andares, água encalhada,copos de plástico e lama..(Confiram as fotos que fiz deste local). O café da manhã é fraco e repetitivo, as pessoas ficam muito próximas devido ao pequeno espaco, falam em cima dos alimentos. . A ”piscina” não comporta três adultos nadando. Pedir para me acordarem no dia do meu embarque, me chamaram apenas 20 min após o horário solicitado, felizmente eu havia acordado bem antes. Em fim, se vc procura dias relaxantes, prazerosos, com certeza este não é o local indicado.

Hotel agradável, funcionários prestativos, de frente para a praia e ótimo café da manhã. A localização é boa mas precisa andar uns 20 minutos para chegar até a parte mais movimentada da Orla durante a noite. Pequena piscina na cobertura que fica no quinto andar. Ate os quartos com finais de 1 a 10, é muito bom, acima disso tem q andar muito do elevador ate a porta do quarto. Voltaria com certeza.

Instead of being built towards the sea, the very large majority of rooms have a ”view” on the side, that is a view on a wall (and builders on one side). Either they had a larger plot of land and consequently sold it to make profit, or they didn't take in consideration that one day it would be built. We arrived on a Friday afternoon and could see and hear builders shouting 3 meters away from our window. Additionally, sheet was stained. Luckily, staff is helpful but... they can only do what the management allows to do. We got an other room - 2 floors away from our second room, on the ground floor, still with a view on a wall, but at least on the other side. As it happened, in that room sheet was holed, probably because it had been used for too long. Bed itself is good - one of the very few decent things, together with most employees who do their best - reception is open 24/7. Shower is not too bad, but door does not close properly and there are fungus. On the ground floor, customers go through the corridor passing in front of all bedrooms to reach the elevator: the first night, we heard coming and going until 4 a.m. and we could even hear peeing or a tiny object falling on the floor above us. There is no noise-insulation at all. Swimming pool on the roof has a great view, but is maximum 1 meter deep and during the day, you bath under the eyes of the builders. As already said, staff do their best, but the hotel is so badly conceived - not even speaking of the permanent noise on weekdays, from 7 or 8 until 5 or 6 -that it is not sufficient. Regional breakfast on the first morning - a Saturday as is probably the case for most visitors - was very good, with decent options (not the largest buffet, but corresponding to the hotel size). On Sunday, it was not that good anymore as we started to receive cheese bread (paô de queijo) and other stuff like sweet bread which was (at least) 2 or 3 days old. To the contrary, you may order eggs or tapioca pancakes prepared on demand. Wi-fi is free, but network is overloaded and connection hardly reaches the 2nd floor. On the first night, I realized the bulb from the bedside lamp was burnt. I asked the reception, but they told me they had none at the reception, but would be fixed on the next morning. In the evening, it still did not work... until I realized there was a short-circuit... and could consequently only remove the plug and ”do without” night lamp - I had to read or watch television with the powerful, blank ceiling lamp (not very comfortable for my partner wishing to sleep earlier than me. Last but not least, Cabo Branco beach is quite extensive: this hotel is located (almost) at the very end, which means that you will walk about 2 km minimum to get to the beginning of the numerous restaurants available in Tambau and the closest/other end of Cabo Branco. All in all, this is a very poor value for money - and it should not get more than 2 stars. Feeling sorry for the staff: I think this is the first time I eve

There are not many hotels in the immediate area, and I find myself needing to stay in this neighborhood occasionally, but had never tried Bessa Beach Hotel before, so I thought I’d give them a try. My first impression was that I didn’t find the employees very helpful. When we parked in front of the hotel and took our bags out of the car, the bellman asked “do you want help bringing those into the hotel?” I knew that there wasn’t a chance that he'd be bringing my bags up to the room, and I was right. Later, when coming back to the hotel after dinner, we greeted the desk clerk with a “good evening”, but he couldn't be bothered to reply—I guess we disturbed his nap. The hotel elevator had an overwhelming odor of mold, probably from guests using the elevator directly after the swimming pool. Our room was not much better: there were no hangers in what passed for a closet and the bathroom was very small and uncomfortable. The bed had only 2 of the flimsiest pillows I've seen in a long while. We called the front desk to see if they could send up 2 more. We waited for a while, but finally gave up and went out. When we returned, we called the front desk again, and with a new shift on duty, it was an easy task (as it should've been the first time we asked). The bed was so uncomfortable that I hardly slept at all. When I moved the pillow, I discovered that there was an electrical outlet behind the pillow on the headboard. I don’t know what the building code is, but I’m pretty sure that an outlet behind a pillow would not b on the “good idea” list. I have never stayed in a hotel that didn’t have a room safe, until I stayed here. Overall, I won’t be staying here again, and I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone that I like.
