For most travelers, Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) is the primary and only practical gateway, located directly in the neighboring city of Luque and serving the Asuncion metropolitan area. It handles all major domestic and international connections for the capital. Travelers looking for the most convenient access should prioritize this airport, as it offers a variety of transport options including taxis, rideshares, and local buses. In contrast, Formosa International Airport (FMA) is located in the neighboring city of Formosa, Argentina. This airport is not in Asuncion at all and requires a significant cross-border journey, typically involving a long-distance bus or private transfer, which is only recommended for those who have a specific reason to be in the Formosa region. While it may serve as an alternative for some budget-conscious passengers finding specific regional deals, the extra time and complexity of international land transit make it an impractical choice for general travelers visiting Asuncion.

I am very happy with this hotel. I arrived in the city quite early so I asked if I could leave my luggage with them until check in time. They kindly agreed to this.
All of the staff are excellent, professional and efficient.
The room was spacious and clean. It was serviced every day I was there and towels were changed daily. There was a fridge in the room and the bottled water was restocked every day. There was also lots of room in the fridge for other drinks etc
The breakfast was the best I have encountered on this South American trip. It included eggs, meats, cheese, bread, cakes, fruit juice, coffee and more
I used their laundry service. I left it with them in the morning and everything was hanging up in my room when I returned in the late afternoon.
The location was perfect, a short walk from many sights including the river, cathedral, Government Buildings and the Railway Museum. It's easy to get a Taxi, Uber or Bolt to any part of the city or beyond. It was about a 15 minute trip to the Coach Station.
I would highly recommend this excellent Hotel. Thank youFromUS$31

Wir waren zum ersten mal auf Empfehlung im Hotel. Die Lage ist top, der Pool schön und die Zimmer auch. Es ist alles sehr sauber… schade dass es am Pool keine Getränke gibt. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Ein Zimmer abseits der Straße ist zu empfehlen. Das Personal ist sehr nett und das Internet funktioniert gut. Insgesamt alles bestens.FromUS$71

It was conveniently located within a 5-minute walk to Shopping del Sol and Paseo La Galería. The room was clean and the soap, shampoo and conditioner provided smelled nice. The breakfast had a wide variety of breads and was delicious. It was also very helpful that we could check in early and check out late.Family friendly

Very authentic hotel!! Looking unacceptable, but already at the entrance you understand that the designer worked here. A large room with a huge bed. In the room there is a safe, minibar, fan....
