My wife and I recently spent a month traveling in Brazil. We stayed at the Pouso do Chico Rei for three days during our visit to Ouro Preto. We found the hotel to be comfortable, beautifully furnished with antiques and original art. Our room was excellent and we had a fabulous view of the city on two sides of the... More

We spent 3 days at the pousada in March. Pouso do Chico Rei is a very attractive historic building right next to the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Carmo. It is a very quiet location but only a block from Praca Tiradentes and the main shopping street. The inn is full of character and style and all the rooms have... More

Best Pousada we had in Brazil, spotlessly clean, every room furnished differently with period furniture. Centrally located. Lovely dining room, and sitting room upstairs, excellent breakfast, (home made cakes) afternoon tea for when you come back exhausted from those steep hills. Very welcoming and friendly, my partner was not very well for a couple of days ( too many caipirinhas)... More

We stayed in Chico Rei for 2 nights and 3 days. Excellent breakfast, lovely room (7) and view, shower good enough, 2 great dogs, slept well, very near the main square, everything you want. Had a nightmare journey to Ouro Preto (bus station was destroyed the night earlier so we were dropped somewhere else). We arrived before check in time... More

i stayed 4 nights over new years eve. I was in the single room and shared bathroom and although small it was funky and clean. The bathroom was kept spotless the whole day. It was very convenient to the celebrations in the main plaza, not to mention good position for sight seeing and restaurants. Just a fab little place. More

I read glowing reviews of Pouso do Chico Rei here at tripadvisor and I have to agree, it's everything I expected. Small, rustic, simple, and welcoming. It helps that I met other travelers. More

This perfect little B&B is located within 100m from praca tiradentes (the main square). We (total of 5 people) rented 2 rooms and stayed here on the night of 9/4/11. Although the owners/people who worked here did not know English very well, they made a huge effort to make all of us comfortable. The breakfast is excellent, which consist of... More

I enjoyed my stay at Pouso do Chico Rei. The inn is very atmospheric and superbly located just off Ouro Preto's main square. My room was comfortable and I loved the details as reflected in the furniture and fixtures used. The bathroom's hot water was a bit temperamental but the management had indicated (notice in the room) that the bathrooms... More

Recently stayed and left after one night. The room was very nice (Pablo Neruda)) with beautiful views from windows looking in two directions. The bathroom was small and the hot water was not plentiful. The big disappointment was breakfast. We had to ask the hostess for rolls since they were already gone and also for more fruit. She brought out... More

Thanks for your comments. In regards to the problem with the hot water, we mention in our site that our showers are electric and individual electric showers have a limited amount of water. Regarding the breakfast service, the employees involved were questioned and I was informed that you were served upon request (including eggs with cheese). There was an assortment... More
