My goodness. No clue where to start. I stayed here 20 years ago the last time and absolutely nothing has changed until today. Mud and dirt everywhere even inside the public hallways, the elevator not working, breakfast was good but cramped. Staff couldn’t even say good morning (in Spanish), rooms are in dire need of pairing and renovation. Dirty walls, stained furniture, missing lightbulbs. No soundproofing whatsoever, bathrooms straight out if 1970. cramped and cluttered decoration out of someone’s worst nightmare. My goodness what a disappointment. Four stars? Not even 1. Tje only good thing was the area which is one of the best of Asunción. This hotel is a bad example of how a hotel should not be: old, neglected, dirty and cramped with cheap , noisy tourgroups that yell loudly all night. Pay a little more and get the Los Alpes or Le Pelican next door. Don’t ruin your vacation in this fantastic country by staying in a pocilga run by greedy , unscrupulous individuals without morals.

Our stay at Sheraton started on the wrong foot although it might not have been the hotel’s fault. My Marriott Suite Night Award request was approved but when we arrived at the hotel we were told that suites were fully booked and they had no idea why my SNAs went through. So we stayed in a club room for the first night but were moved to the presidential suite on the second night and which was highly appreciated. The first room was an old generation Sheraton room: rough carpet, shower in tub, subpar soundproofing, toiletries were unbranded local stuff, also the bathroom door did not close properly and there was no lock. One positive was that the bed was unmistakably a Sheraton bed = comfortable. The presidential suite was equivalent to 4 normal rooms in terms of size according to the floor plan. It was still a fairly aging room but with the extra space it was very useful to us including our 18-month daughter who was very happy and could run around. Service was quite good during our stay with various staff members addressing us by name which is not that common at a hotel of Sheraton level which is not supposed to be considered luxury like Ritz Carlton or St.Regis. One manager was quite visible during our stay, she welcomed us at check-in, she was greeting guests in the restaurant for breakfast in the morning, same during happy hour in the lounge, and she also stopped by before our departure when we checked out. I also received an e-mail after our stay to inform us that they found one item in the room and asked if we wanted to send someone to pick it up. Most hotels don’t even bother with a “lost and found” service so kudos to Sheraton Asuncion. Regarding dining, happy hour in the lounge and breakfast in the restaurant were above average, and the in-room dining menu and prices were quite good relative to what we could find in the city including in the large shopping mall next door. I also noted that wifi was blazing fast at 350+ Mbps, one of the best I have seen anywhere in the world – not the kind of hotel where I would have guessed this to be the case. Overall this is not a new and modern hotel but when judging a hotel I always compare to the local competition. The other choices I noticed are an Aloft, an Ibis, a Holiday Inn Express, and a Crowne Plaza. Except for the latter I don’t think there are any other international hotel chains remotely close to the level of Sheraton and given the good service and dining, as Marriott Bonvoy Elite I would return to Sheraton.

The location is in the city center and travel is very convenient. The hotel service is very good, the breakfast is also varied, the price is good, it is the first choice for travel. There are many shopping malls and restaurants nearby, making it easy to eat.

We spent two days here after a week in the countryside. We were recognized as Spire Elite and upgraded to #601 as I requested because it has a view of the river. The room was spotless, comfy bed, large tub with a walk in shower. Huge selection of channels on the tv. Large swimming pool on five. The water was cold but clean. The club lounge is closed so breakfast was in the street level lounge as well as happy hour. Few guest because of the quarantine. Aureliano checked us in and the other ladies at reception were always helpful, I would recommend this hotel to anyone and we will stay here again when return. They take Coveid precautions serious.

The hotel is located in the old town, with a lot of business around it, and convenient for dining.

We checked in and were given a room at the front. We had been up since very early in the morning and were tired by early evening but the room was very noisy due to a nightclub next door. We went to reception and asked the man on the desk to be moved to a quieter room - he told us the hotel was full and there were no rooms available. He really wasn't interested in what we had to say. We went back to the room and tried to sleep but the noise carried on until almost 6am. The room was also very shabby, dirty and run down. In the morning we went back to reception and a very helpful lady not only gave us the choice of rooms but also upgraded us to a suite. This room was at the back of the hotel so very quiet and very large; however the room was very grubby and run down- the net curtains were filthy along the bottom and the bed covers had stains on them. Swimming pool area is fine but only about half a dozen sunbeds and no shades for them though there are some tables and chairs to sit at. Breakfast was good. This hotel has the potential to be a lovely hotel but it needs a lot of upgrading and cleaning - they also need to get rid of the man on reception as he really isn't interested in the customers who are paying his wages.

The Palmaroga Hotel is my favorite hotel in downtown Asuncion. The historic building has been beautifully restored, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, the rooftop terrace with its poo and view is wonderful, and most importantly the staff are exceptional. The people who work at reception and at the door are always ready to greet guests warmly and to provide friendly and authentic service. The hotel has a good restaurant on site, a steakhouse next door, and is walking distance from many other excellent dining options. Within walking distance to all major points of interest in the downtown area. 10 puntos!
