Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ciudad del Este

The views were nice, and I liked the salad. Service could have been better. They also charge $20 to use the pool, which is smaller than a bathtub.

I won't be staying here again. The sound insulation was very poor, so I heard staff talking and doors shutting. The gym was worn out, and at best this felt like an ordinary three-star hotel. At check-in, the staff member couldn't find my reservation and asked what price I'd booked. The copier wasn't working either, so I had to use a phone to take a picture of my passport. There's more I could say, but it wouldn't serve any purpose.

I found the beds extremely comfortable, and the windows and glass kept out noise. The rooms are allergy-free, with a modern lock system and high-speed Wi-Fi. It's a very clean, brand-new quality hotel, one of the few places in CDE I'd recommend for an overnight stay. MonaLisa and Cellshop are about a four-minute walk away, and there's a supermarket on the next corner. The food and room service are good too. Four-star international hotel standard.

We slept well here. The hotel was clean, the staff friendly, and the breakfast buffet was good. It's well placed for walking to lots of shops and restaurants.
