Crowne Plaza Asuncion

Ótimo hotel

I stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Asuncion. I checked in extremely late, after 12:30 am on the day after I had booked to arrive. The reception staff were fine with this, and throughout my stay they were very friendly and spoke good English. On my way to my room I could tell that the hotel was very tired and dated. The same was true once I got to my room. It was fine, clean and a good size, but things like worn out carpet and paint chips on the wall showed that things needed updating. The bathroom felt a bit less dated than the rest of the room. The air conditioning worked well, and the wifi was good. The hotel is about 10 minutes' walk from the very centre of Asuncion, so the location is good. The historic centre of Asuncion is a bit on the run-down side, but worth seeing if you're visiting. I asked the hotel reception about using a local bus, they were very helpful and gave me a bus card which I took to a convenience store around the corner to top up. The breakfast was very good, it was a mix of Paraguayan/South American and more continental style dishes. Lots of choice, and it was never too busy. I also had a caipirinha in the bar which was good. Overall, if you want to stay near central Asuncion for a reasonable price, then this hotel is a good choice.

We were here in October and this time I invited my brother-in-law and his family for two days on the executive level. They had a wonderful time in the pool. Very good breafast and most importantly, an attentive staff.
