Ibis Styles Boa Vista 3 étoiles

I usually stay at the Ibis when I travel to Boa Vista. It has a really cool design, and the staff is often very friendly, which makes you feel welcome. Nevertheless, the hotel has maintenance issues that do not seem to be solved overtime. This time I was told the hotel was overbooked, and although I had made may reservation weeks in advance, I was given a room which was full of problems. In the bathroom, the shower ceiling was stained by what seemed to be a water leakage. There’s often one single towel for face and shower, and other times there are two mats, but still only one towel. The safe was out of order, and it was not possible to repair it. The air conditioner had commercial stickers on it, and two ugly holes on the wall underneath it. One could notice that its installations was not done properly. The beautiful mirror frame and parts of the furniture were damaged. The curtains and parts of the wall were dirty. The nice design armchair fabric faded by the sunlight. In some rooms, the nice, and practical led lights under the bed and on the walls do not work, as you see on the hotel site pictures, and I recommend they are changed or repaired, as needed. The side table digital clock with speakers was missed. The hall of floor was a little out of maintenance as well. Half of the floor was not illuminated, and we were left in the dark until we reached the elevators. The button of one of the elevators was out of order, and during rush hours there was a little wait for the other elevator. Also, one day we felt a strong unpleasant smell in the hall that needs to be checked. The breakfast buffet provides a range of tasty foods, and now the tapioca is served fresh upon order. But I miss the jam selection to go with it that used to be available. Another good news is that the hotel now provides a lunch menu, which is very practical, mainly when you prefer to stay at the hotel during lunch time. I still think that the hotel is a nice place to stay in Boa Vista, and that the distance to downtown is not a problem. Most of the time taxis are available and Uber taxis are not expansive. But the Ibis is the most expansive hotel in town, and I would be very much pleased if maintenance services improved quickly to be up to meet higher quality standards.

Since you get to the entrance of the hotel you could feel this is a different nice facility. The reception area is small but still adequate. Once you step out from the elevator at the assigned floor the lights of the corridor automatically turns on. You get into the room and it is decorated in a very modern way. Very nice looking. And the bathroom, even though it is small, it has an excellent layout that make it very confortable and look much larger. Breakfast is very good with different options. There is a very nice shopping mall a couple of minutes walking from the hotel.

The acommodations are new, but the wifi is horrible! If you need connection to work, I would say this hotel is a no go! Besides this, the staff is friendly and the room is fine. air conditioning works pretty well.

The Zii hotel is very new and efficient. It's locate on the far side of the airport out of town. However, there is a shopping mall and a supermarket next to the hotel. Moreover, there is a very good churrasco place in easy walking distance. Otherwise there is nothing around. As one can expect from a newly built hotel, rooms are modern and clean. Breakfast was OK.

I spent 3 nights at this hotel. These are the things I liked: The room was tastefully decorated, had a comfortable bed, very good lighting, a fridge with drinking water provided daily, air condition, TV with Portuguese programs, daily room service upon request. The hotel was Eco-friendly with intelligent LED lighting, solar energy and reuse of water. Staff members were just great. They were friendly and ready to help. The price included a very good breakfast. It was possible to order from a menu and then they provided buffet items such as fruits, cereals, various breads, buns, cake. beverages, and condiments. Breakfast ran from 6-10 a.m and on Sundays until 11 a.m. Dinner menu included light meals such as sandwiches. There were many healthy options as well. All bills could be paid by credit card. The hotel had a gym, but I did not try it out, so I am not sure what it is like. I was on the topmost floor, 7th floor,which gave me a very good panoramic view of the area. The hotel was also in a very quiet area, so the interior and the exterior of the hotel were very peaceful and conducive having a peaceful sleep. The dining area had individual TV screens, which was very practical if you happened to be by yourself. There was a large shopping complex and a grocery store in the vicinity, which was practical to go shopping, eat out or watch a movie. The only drawback I can think of is that the hotel is a bit away from the city center. Guests who do not have their own transportation may have to take taxis to go anyplace. All in all, I enjoyed staying at this hotel and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a peaceful area.
