Aloft By Marriott Asuncion

Excellent location next to a shopping mall and only 15 minutes (without traffic)from the airport. Service although my “elite” status wasn’t honored still is great ! Rooms are spacious, clean with all the creature comforts you’ll expect from any Marriott property. There’s a surcharge for breakfast, if you don’t want this choice right next door at the mall there’s plenty of options and the price difference is not that much ! Please don’t !! Skip the “chipa” a traditional Paraguayuan cheesebread , absolutely delicious 😋. The rooftop comes with nice vistas and a wonderful pool to battle the intense heat of the summer! Great choice and price ! Personnel very attentive.

“Great location and services”

In Asuncion for three nights, we reserved in Aloft. 15 mins from Airport, next to shopping center Sol, and good restaurantes. The rooms are Aloft standards and pretty new, they have a great outdoor Terrace with Pool with a beautiful view of the city. Recommended.

“Very good value for the money”

The Aloft Asuncion is in a nice area of the city almost next to a shopping mall and a 10-minute walk to a newer shopping mall. Lots of places to eat nearby, especially at the malls. It's about a 22-minute car ride to see the sights in the historic center. Hotel looked clean and modern. There's a PC… more

The Aloft Asuncion is in a nice area of the city almost next to a shopping mall and a 10-minute walk to a newer shopping mall. Lots of places to eat nearby, especially at the malls. It's about a 22-minute car ride to see the sights in the historic center. Hotel looked clean and modern. There's a PC and printer in the lobby plus a foosball table. Room was basic with a good bed and good working A/C and heater (it was cold some days.) Liked the in-room kettle with coffee/tea and daily bottles of water. Wi-fi worked fine. I had a great rate that included free daily popcorn and soft drinks. I was on a top floor facing the busy street but noise was minimal. Bathroom was of medium size with a strong shower pressure and liquid soap (small soap bar for the sink area) and combined shampoo/conditioner. Closet was small. TV was a little complicated to use. The hotel has a small pantry near the lobby where you can buy some snacks/drinks. Breakfast was ok with the usual scrambled eggs, sausages (chopped in a tomato sauce), cereal, fruit, yogurt, and a few other items like quesadillas, which bring me to the next point of not having any traditional Paraguayan specialties like mbeju or chipa but instead they had food associated with Mexico 🙄 But worse was that they served me cold (well, room temperature) coffee, which they then reheated when I brought it to their attention. And continuing with the bad, I requested an early wake up call to have as a backup in case something happened to my cellphone, considering the room did not have an alarm clock, but they forgot to call me! 😠 Luckily my cellphone alarm worked fine. The other negative is how slow check-in was but not just for me as I saw this on other occasions when I was getting my free soft drink. The pool on the roof looked nice (did not use). Nevertheless, staff were really pleasant and all things considered, it was a very good value for the money.

“Average Stay (3.4 out of 5.0)”

I stayed at the Aloft 4 nights. I had planned to stay at the Sheraton across the street, but, they closed for renovations about two weeks prior to my arrival.

I stayed at the Aloft 4 nights. I had planned to stay at the Sheraton across the street, but, they closed for renovations about two weeks prior to my arrival. I received some benefits as a Marriott Bonvoy member at the Aloft. The Aloft's location was excellent [5.0], as it was located in the safe, modern area of Asuncion, within walking distance to two major shopping malls. The hotel is a typical Aloft that you would see anywhere in the world: basic offerings with a modern design. They are too basic for my needs, but, I really had no other choice given the short notice of the Sheraton closing. The assigned room [1001] was poor [0.0], primarily due to noise from the hotel's rooftop club that permeated throughout the hotel. Thus, I had to move to a room on a lower floor [0105]; I could still heard the music vibration on the first floor, but, fortunately, the AC fan drowned it out. Loud, rooftop clubs are a big thing nowadays around the world, and I just wish owners would choose to be a club or a hotel, not both. Both rooms were in typical Aloft style: small, basic, clean with comfortable beds, but, no chairs to sit. Although both rooms were in the back of the hotel, street noise could still be hear. The bathrooms were small, but, the shower water pressure and temperature were great. Both rooms were showing wear and tear, particularly with the carpets and bathroom tiles. The AC worked great. Staff service was excellent [5.0] throughout the entire hotel. English was widely spoken by most staff members, particularly at reception, which is always very much appreciated! Most staff were friendly and approachable. The breakfast buffet was good [4.1], but not great. However, as is typical of Aloft hotels, there was an assortment of typical breakfast items, including processed food, fruit, bakery items, eggs, bread, yogurt, etc. For me, the eggs tasted strange and the coffee, which was provided in tall mugs [love that], also tasted strange. Service in the breakfast area was excellent. The rooftop gym facility was fair [3.0], had I used it. But, I didn't use it because it was rather basic and small. I did sit at the rooftop lounge one afternoon. However, I didn't stay long, because a drunken family was playing music from their boombox at full volume. It really was disturbing; hotel staff did nothing.
