“Nice hotel”

Very nice hotel in the heart of sao paulo. Surrounded by pubs and good restaurants. Offers a good and tasty breakfast. The restaurant at this hotel also has good meals. Very affordable. Has a good view if the city. Near the Republic and Santa Cecilia metro stations.

“older but friendly hotel ”

things have improved since many of the 2016 reviews - the hotel is still an older one showing it's age in places with slow lifts and slightly dated decor but look past that the staff are helpful and friendly and multi lingual. there is now wifi throughout the hotel for guests as basic 4M speeds i... more

things have improved since many of the 2016 reviews - the hotel is still an older one showing it's age in places with slow lifts and slightly dated decor but look past that the staff are helpful and friendly and multi lingual. there is now wifi throughout the hotel for guests as basic 4M speeds included in room rate the breakfast is simple but good and consistent, if you want to eat in the restaurant remember Brazilians eat early at 8pm it's reverting to room service menu (but you can still eat in the restaurant) the location is central near república and the metro system and is typically são paulo with mixture of night life, parks and poverty rubbing side by side with wealth i stayed for a week with my partner and they were most helpful and accepting of us (we are an Anglo- Brazilian gay couple) yes it's old an may need repainting in places but it still has a faded style about it and a helpful and friendly service. the only thing i could find wrong is contrary to some listings there is no pool here just a small gym on the 19th floor.

Arrived Friday in the early evening on the airport bus and after a bit of a walk we easily found the hotel. The walk was up the mainstreet with many people enjoying their evening. Although some of the area is a little bit dingy in no way did we feel threatened. On arrival at the hotel the check in was quick and the staff were very helpful in giving advice as to the area and getting around. The room although a bit dated was clean and the bed comfortable. Noise level from the street was not a problem. On leaving the next day manager gave advice as to how to get to bus station, which was greatfully accepted. Would recommend hotel to friends so long as they like to feel being in a city oloder area.

“3 Day Stay”

Stayed here for 3 days with a friend. The hotel it self was just fine. Breakfast was the standard fruit, mixed fruit, lots of bread options and cakes.

Stayed here for 3 days with a friend. The hotel it self was just fine. Breakfast was the standard fruit, mixed fruit, lots of bread options and cakes. Staff very little English but can't complain about that but helpful and friendly. I would say the area there is some restaurants near by we ate in an itialian close by which was good. There are some bars also but did not use them. The area we felt not great at all did not go out late as allot of homeless people with allot of police as one day would see the police stop people with knives. So I think people should know the area it is in. This is not a fault on the hotel but people do need to know the area. Close by tube station also.
