Hotels Near TCE Encomiendas in Asuncion

We stayed here for 3 nights. The hotel is clean, tidy, well located and friendly staff. We had a twin room, which was of a good size. No slippers or bathrobes provided, you do have a kettle with a few teabags and one coffee pad (not sure why just one for two people). Small fridge and good working airco. Only negative was the sliding door to the toilet/shower, really hard to open from the toilet side. Rooftop pool had great views, nice bar for evening cocktails and a decent bar menu. Breakfast on the ground floor non exciting, very standard corporate hotel breakfast. Staff everywhere friendly and helpful. Reception can provide you with a map of Asuncion. We used Uber to get around, which worked fine Next to the hotel is Del Sol, a western shopping mall - airco and more restaurants

Early check in [at noon on a group tour] was very much appreciated after long flights yesterday. The bed is hard which I like. Everything is clean save for the black hand print behind the nifty chair. No tea and coffee facilities in the room is a real negative. While there is java [coin operated; good grief] in reception, that area does not have the comfortable feel of the hotel across the road. There’s a stocked fridge which went unused like stocked fridges I have seen elsewhere in the world. The pool and Negroni bar on the 15th floor have a striking setting. Frustrating that area only opens at 0900; no sense. Even worse is when I tried to access the area at 0915 it was still locked; somebody did not get the memo. Four elevators certainly helped. The main floor restaurant Takuare’e was the breakfast venue, an ample buffet. The restaurant is quite large, as the hotel has some 300 rooms. For visitors, the surrounding area does have some nice neighbourhoods to walk but the city’s historic center is a cab ride away. Maybe the hotel did not completely live up to its name but it is a good option.

The hotel is comfortable, accessible, the service is very good, the buffet is good, the service is excellent the attention is always friendly. The food and room service is very good, the drinks well prepared The restaurant and breakfast service, always with a smile Graciela and very attentive Miracles

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.

I booked two nights for my wife and I and her brother with his wife and two teenage children. This was ”the” hotel in the 60's and nothing much seemed to have changed. The room fridge was barely cooling and no posted prices on the fridge. The rooms are oddly layed out and the view was through large outside shutters which are needed for the intense sunlight. Air conditioning was good once housekeeping set it for me! TV adequate. Bath shower with nice tolietries. Room was spotless but dated. Bed was comfy. the pool on the third floor is very large, unheated but dangerous. All pre ADA stuff non existent. Water was clean. Everyone had a great time. There was also a very large amount of deck chairs and a great view of the park. This hotel is c the best location in downtown Asuncion. Food servive avaiable poolside at reasonable prices. Breakfast buffet was very good with lots of fresh fruit. I ordered fried eggs and was charged about 50 cents each! The hotel staff was very friendly. Our 13 year old nephew was in heaven because soccer teams also stay here. Underground parking was an experience. We will stay here again on our return trip to Paraguay andenjoy the pool weather permitting.

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.
