I had booked with alpharooms.com
a junior - suite with kingsize bed and had already paid for my 2 nights. In my booking confirmation several month's ago there was also mentioned my late arrival.

When I checked into Austral Hotel at about 9 pm, I was sent to a room with two seperate beds, wifi not working as it was in a corner and for sure not the room I had booked. I went to the reception and they tried to find excuses why the Wifi did not work. Than I showed them my booking confirmation with a clear picture of a kingsize bed.

As there was a language problem, I had to speak with an English speaking manager over the phone in an other city. He told me that there is no other empty room and because I was late, my room was gone. What? My booking clearly gave instructions of late arrival and booking into a junior-suite, not a twin rm. He gave me the feeling that I, the customer, was wrong. I got very angry and upset when I talked to him, so I hung up. Than the lady receptionist spoke to someone on the phone, and, all of a sudden, they had an empty room, which looked exactly like the one from my confirmation letter. So how did I feel after they told me first, there is no empty room and my room was gone already and the wasted time??? Later they invited me for dinner on the house, but that did not heal the bad treatment as a customer. 😱💀

    I had only two very brief overnight stays but the hotel was centrally located, close to the main plaza and shopping district.
    The interior and rooms were dark and dowdy but overall it was reasonably comfortable and very good value.

    Wifi wasn't too good in the room but was OK in the lobby. The staff were helpful and an adequate buffet breakfast was available.

    Forget about haunted houses from theme parks, this one is for real. Let your imagination take you to a classic horror movie old hotel and spend a night with the ghosts from the past (see the attached pictures). I promise you will have thrilling moments after listening to the mysterious histories that happened inside those walls since the 20th century 30s. The hotel has reasonable prices, small rooms with noisy air conditioners, CRT televisions and a modest restaurant but I give the maximum rating for the experience value. I really had fun during my stay. PS: The WIFI connection is excellent.

    My room and bathroom were very good, breakfasts average but sufficient. Staff friendly with limited English knowledge. Location is very central, with walking distance to restaurants and main city attractions. Recommendable.
