“Please try to avoid this hotel !!”

Close to horrible. The hotel is old and seems to have very poor maintenance. Actually it looked like in some decades they did their last maintenance investment. Dirty carpets, room not clean at all, etc. On the other hand the service is very porr as well. Many employees at the front desk doing nothing. Approaching the front desk with a small inquiry could mean at least half an hour betwenn waiting time and talking to these people.... First evening when taking a shower I noted there were no towells available so I had to take the little ones (hand washer). I complained and it took almost a full day to receive 2 towells. The second day the towels at the hand washer were "gone".... Summarizing I will try to avoid this hotel in the future as it is not cheap at att and for me it's cost-benefit relation is extremely poor.

Area recommendations
Try to find something close to "Las Mercedes" which seems to be the "best" or at least the most acceptable area in Caracas.

“GREAT HOTEL; WISH IT COULD BE MOVED TO A BETTER AREA”

Loved the breakfast buffet. Hotel staff are friendly and helpful. The large swiming pool and fully equipped fitness center and sauna are nice also. It's not a safe area for walking at night however. If you need to get out of your room and walk around, go to the Centro Recreo Shopping Mall next door.

Traveler's tip
Be careful of the Lobby Bar. A shot of whiskey is frightfully expensive. They need to have a proper Lounge with big screen TV, etc...
