Really needs improvement.
Bathroom trash can was really old, rusted and damaged. Completely unacceptable for a hotel with this level as f classification. Still on bathroom, the ceramic tiles grout needs urgent attention. At the restaurant, no sign plates with juice flavors and desserts. What if I’m allergic to shrimp, how can I identify the appetizers with shrimp, if there’s no plates? Overall very poor experience. They need to renew and remodel the management techniques.

Clean hotel with a great location
The hotel's location was great. However check-in took almost 30 minutes as they only had one person and guests with issues. Yet the rest of the services were great, from valet parking to check-out. The room was clean and cool, however the bed was too firm and I woke each morning with aches in pains on my body. Breakfast services were average...I've had better in João Pessoa and the northeast of Brazil. Overall is was great for the location and prompt service.

Good for pleasure ok for business
Great hotel with a open to public gym right next door. Nice pool, near some good restaurant and walking distance to the mall. Safe neighborhood and great breakfar. The only thing not a100% was the internet that was slow at times but overall one of the best hotels in Joao Pessoa.

Management in denial of problems
Hotel looks nice and is in a good location. However it is clearly suffering from lack of maintenance. The games room has broekn games and the gym is mouldy. My shower was leaking and poorly looked after WiFi signal is too weak to work within rooms and you have to go to reception. Breakfast is okay, a nice touch is a chef who makes your omellete for you. On the down side the juice is watered down and one day guests were served sour milk.

Great Place!
We had a great time at the hotel. Everything was top notch. Only negative was that they did not have antiallergic pillows.

Pessimo! Primeiro momento que ao chegar no hotel fui coagida e obrigada a pagar a totalidade da reserva, nao ha qualquer informação sobre pagamento antecipado no check in. Ressalto que ainda efetusram a cobrança de uma diaria em outubro de 2024 mesmo inserindo o cancelamento gratuito ate o dia 26/12. Sinceramente nunca mais ponhomos oes nesse hotel Fora a desorganização do bar da praia ao qual solicitei um drink que demorou mais de 2h. Se meu marido nao fosse so hotel perguntar nao seria entregue. O casal ao meu pado desistiu do apertivo que pediram pois estavam aguardando mais de 3h. Fora a limpeza do quarto extremamente pessima, isso porque fiquei em suite superior vista mar. A gerente Claudia muito ruim sem qualquer preparo Quando questionafa dobre ompagamento antecipado a mesma respondeu "todos os hoteis daqui cobram assim". Serio isso? Que tipo de treinamento esse hotel faz aos seus funcionarios???? Nao visualizei no dia 27/12 o CDC à vista do consumidor. Hotel Hardmann NUNCA MAIS VOLTAREI!!!
