We went to Recife and stayed in this hotel during the Carnival. This is an old and expensive hotel. You have to negotiate when making a reservation and you will probably get a discount. They used very small sheets to made up the bed but the bed itself is quite comfortable. The safe of our room was broken and they... More

Okay, Recife is not a glamorous city, but this hotel is way past his prime. And expensive. But as the management apparently is aware of the run down state of the place, you will probably get a discount. The bathroom is unbelievable, we couldn't take a shower without flooding the bathroom and it's nearly impossible to close the faucets while... More

This hotel is in front of the Boa Viagem Beach and have a beautiful view of beach. The breakfast is delicious. The hotel is old, but they were renovating the building.

They claim to have a pool which is really a small pond and a business center which is really an oversized bathroom with a slow internet connection... More

It is quite central to everything. We were met at the reception by Gus who immediately made us feel welcome. The hotel itself met... More

However, everything worked perfectly, and although place was not modern or terribly chic,... More

Advertised as a four star property on most websites. Three at best, some of the rooms that I saw were 2 star. Good location, right on beach, near large shopping mall. Hotel staff good, except front desk personnel..snooty, and WHY I can't imagine. Breakfast adequate. This establishment is mostly used by Brazilians on business and is sorely lacking in services...
