The positive sides are: interesting architecture, location by the lake, good buffet breakfast. Negative: TVs in bedrooms are of a very old model; there is no wifi, except in the lobby, so I could not use my IPad; no bed covers, only the plain sheets, I asked for one and was told "we used to have them but we don't any more"; toiletries are scant and of poor quality; maintenance in the gym is poor (only 5 running mills of which 2 were not working). The worst was twice being intruded in the bedroom by personnel who did not knock on the door. I am a woman traveling alone and it was very disturbing because both intruders were male employees. I tried to complain to the manager but was told that the manager was "in a meeting". For 3 days I tried to speak to the manager and the answer was invariably that "the manager is in a meeting".

The hotel is great and well located, but the front desk makes no effort to make your stay confortable.

During my stay, no only the people at the front desk seemed to be working totally unhappy but also I had the horrible experience of someone else entering my room in the middle of the night because the they gave the key of my apartment to a new guest.

They only apologize because I complained about that. Even so they said that was "just a mistake I should understand!" JUST A MISTAKE? 2.a.m.? They was probably kidding me.

I do not recommend this hotel.

I´d stayed in this hotel for Valentine´s weekend. It was great. There are 2 saunas (dry and humid), a large swimming pool an gym facilities. The hotel has a very pleasant location by the Paranoa lake. Food is great: breakfast has numerous options. It´s not good for business travelers, though, because it´s located far from the city centre. There aren´t options for food and drinks in the nearby area. So you´ll have to stick to the hotel options. Taxi is very expensive in Brasilia, so this hotel is not a good option if you´re not traveling by car. Hotel is modern with incredible architecture and vast gardens. Good for kids.

We stayed here overnight, before and after our trip to the Pantanal The hotel reception told us that their printer had broken down when we were paying for our first night's stay and, because we were hurrying for the plane, we did not question it.
On our return home, our credit card statement showed that we had been charged for 2 nights accommodation for our first overnight stay.
In spite of numerous emails to a variety of hotel representatives and the provision of copies of:
1. Our hotel booking confirmations recording single night stays only,
2. Our flight bookings with the relevant seat stubs for our flight after our first overnight stay,
we received no positive action from the hotel and only reluctant responses that led nowhere.
Finally after 48 days of no progress, we sent emails to the Golden Tulip Head Office in Amsterdam complaining about the criminal activities of the staff at the above hotel. Those words had some effect in achieving recompense of the incorrect hotel charge but without any formal recognition of their Brasilia hotel's actions.
So, if using this hotel, ensure that you check your bill and insist on some sort of receipt. Business travellers could be prone to this scam because they may not scrutinise their bills as closely as we do and could be regularly overcharged by this hotel.
