Reviews of Howard Johnson Ciudad del Este 4 stars

The location was OK, restaurant food was good.

The place is supposed to have terrace bar and restaurant, but it seems to have been closed already some times ago. The whole spa service area was empty as well. The room and the whole building was cold, on the second night there was no hot water in the shower, everything felt half-kept, even toilet paper holder was fixed by tape which gave up on second day.

Breakfast is ok.

Terribly noisy, soundproofing is horrible : you hear the street noises, your neighbours noises, outside of the room in the corridor… Staff is very sad, unpersonal, they are here but you don’t see them…

The breakfast, the location and the room . The staff are really helpful and kind.

Nothing to complain about.

Good, competent friendly staff. Very clean, hotel was in a good location to the Puente de Amistad. The rooftop bar was a welcome advantage, with great ambiance. Breakfast was well appointed and had a good variiety.

The gym was very rudimentary and almost nonexistent. There was a smoking area at the end of the hall, (on the 2nd floor), however, the smoke still permeated most of the entire floor, which was not enjoyable. The rooftop pool area / patio / bar was enjoyable, however, the service was sporadic and slow. On some occasions we were served promptly and very efficiently, (2 very competent female servers) however, on other occasions we were ignored and even advised (by a male server) to go into the actual bar and order ourselves. When we did this, we noticed most staff standing around playing on their phones....the bar was not busy, either inside the air conditioned room or outside on the pool patio. We were confused on what the exact policy was...either full service or self-serve ??

A clean and friendly place to stay in the city centre. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The restaurant on the rooftop terrace had good food and an amazing view over the city. You can even see the Itaipu dam from up there.

Had a fantastic stay at Howard Johnson. Coming in I didn’t know what to expect but it felt like a high class hotel. Room was superb, massive bed good shower and toilet. The breakfast was sublime with a massive amount of choices. With transfers from the airport the hotel got us in contact with some drivers we used a guy named Jorge who was superb and helped us get over the border. It cost about 40usd each way, there’s a bit of admin to get between the borders and now that Brazil are bringing in visas I assume it might get a bit trickier. It a good location, neighbourhood is really good with some nice restaurants and pubs around. If you aren’t feeling going out the hotel has a great restaurant and pool up the top level. Some good food and drinks looking over the city. Great stay and if I ever got the chance I would come back again. Thank you!

Excelente atencion

desayuno excepcional

Room was large and comfortable, bathroom was also spacious with a good shower. Breakfast was varied with hot and cold food and plenty of fruit. Reception let us leave our bags for a few hours after we checked out which was really useful.

Atencion, instalaciones ,restaurant

Central location but been advised not to wonder around past sunset and just walking to restaurant across the road it was definitely true.. amazingly friendly staff and very comfortable beds!!! Nice quiet room on the 6th floor… rest of hotel including pool deck is neglected… pool with excessive chlor content and exterior showers not working… breakfast is ok but coffee I could not drink. Plenty of fresh fruit and nice cakes to make up for it.. all in all ok but nothing amazing! PS, ask hotel reception for taxi rides to falls! Much better priced and reliable than Bolt!! 👍

Pool tiny, unbearable concentration of Chlor. Rest of hotel outfitting was a bit neglected and WiFi intermittently working.

Excellent value for money. Very clean. Everyone very helpful, friendly and polite. Really exceptional service. The breakfast buffet is good. The rooftop terrace serves very good food, has a nice view, a pool and all that at very affordable prices. This is an absolute recommendation.

There was nothing we did not like.

Best thing is cleanness, and the proximity to the best shopping centers

Everything was ten out of ten
