The location was great, very close to the historic center of Olinda and also close to the beach. The pool area was very clean, comfortable, and nice. The staff was always friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help, despite me not fully speaking the language. The room that I got was very clean, the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was big, clean, and comfortable. And the breakfast was amazing and the waiters were always super nice.
Set in a beautiful park next to Olinda´s São Francisco Convent, this hotel features a colonial museum and modern rooms. Free Wi-Fi, free parking and a large pool are available.

The breakfast was excellent! As were all of the meals in the restaurant there. The staff was super friendly and kind, from Robson at the front desk to Marta who took care of our suite!

Breakfast is great, rooms are ok, staff was nice and it is walking distance to Olinda's historical center. The beds were comfortable. It is an ok place to stay during carnival, but for the price, I would try to book something better a bit earlier next time. Wifi ok.
Located in Olinda, a 14-minute walk from Bairro Novo Beach, Pousada Convento da Conceição has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

I loved the view from our room. Waking up to the early morning sun rise and a view of the city was beautiful. Then the breakfast cooked by the BnB host, Raymundo and Suzanna was delicious
Olinda is odd in that it is lightly populated.
For instance, there are a phenomenal number of churches in a very small area but (I imagine) way less people than there were historically,
The beach is close by and nice.
It is a stark contrast to Recife so close by.
The minor basilica is worth a visit with it’s gold or nation.

I didn't realize that my dates coincided with what is called the "previa", or preview to Carnaval. So this was an unexpected treat in a way! I don't have the tolerance or stamina for actual Carnaval, but being able to partake in and witness the preliminary street festivals was quite fun. Olinda is lovely and so walkable. I do wish that the signage for the historical markers was restored and improved. For example, the Ribeira Market is a local spot for purchasing souvenirs. It also is significant for being the market where enslaved Black people were sold alongside other "commodities". Given that Brazil has the largest percentage of people of African descent in the Americas whose ancestors were enslaved by the Portuguese, this history should NOT be overlooked, "whitewashed" or hidden. One can enjoy the beauty of a place AND acknowledge the painful legacy of enslavement throughout the Americas. Lastly, don't swim in the beaches here. Raw sewage ends up here and you can see this in the brown water. If you want a beach to swim in, head south to Porto de Galinhas.

Charming historic town.
Charming historic town. By total coincidence I was there on a Sunday night in the lead-up to Carnaval, and a local Carnaval team was practicing. Fun to watch. This evidently happens on Sunday nights for at least several weeks (longer?) leading up to Carnaval.

An incredible little haven of peace and beauty next to a buzzling city of Recife. The beaches right in front of the town are not extraordinary but within 10-15 min drive there are large beaches with little bars etc. Like anywhere in Brazil, litter and especially plastic is a problem.

I was disappointed with Olinda for being a well known tourist city in Brazil. Dirty where the beach is distant and without conditions for swimming and with little tourist attraction. Generally speaking I would not go to Recife / Olinda on vacation. The city is also very dangerous, according to residents.

We were there only one night but we enjoyed the Historic Centre and walking up to the lighthouse. The best part was taking a funicular to the treehouse restaurant! A three minute walk from the Convent.
I had an amazing stay here! The house is gorgeous – it's beautifully decorated and full of character. I loved opening the windows to enjoy the evening breezes (it is winter at the moment!). My room was very comfortable and had good A/C, hot water, and WIFI. Graça was so helpful in organising my stay and suggesting things to do, and Rita made an amazing breakfast every morning. Olinda is a charming and very easygoing place. I can't wait to come back! Obrigada!
This hostel is incredibly nice. I almost didn't leave to go explore the city. The common areas have a gorgeous view and the place is very clean. I slept so well because they have air conditioning in the bedrooms and the bed itself I found very comfortable. The staff was so patient and kind to me with my inability to speak Portuguese and the location is so close to the water and restaurants/bars and stores, I really have no complaints about it.
Hospitality and willingness to help was much appreciated from the moment of arrival until our departure.
Character - the pousada has a unique eclectic style. Not to mention it's rooms decoration - very unique indeed.
The breaksfat was a feast to the eyes and palate.
The staff, starting with Patricia, Jorge were great, attentive hosts.*****
Great value for money and experience.
Until next time , thank you
A cozy and small historic 17th century place in the middle of the fabulous colonial centre of Olinda, spectacularly overlooking Recife and the ocean. Decorated with ceramic artwork created by Ramondo, the owner, who is an outstanding artist. Meeting him is a privelege already well worth the travel!
Very nice pousada with friendly staff and very good breakfast. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the communal space is great for relaxing in the hammock. Good kitchen for cooking and great localisation. Very good price for value!
I would definitely recommend staying in Flor de Olinda!
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of historic Olinda. It has its own parking lot which is definitely plus. You can enjoy amazing view from the pousada numerous viewing decks. The spot where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over Recife , is right outside the hotel's door.
We Loved everything about the place! 👍💖 Its not a "Luxus" hotell, but its all over a beautiful place to stay! 💖💖 And the best of all was the suroundings and the pool-area. ⛱️⛱️ Very green and "fresh"!. We'll be back! 👍
Wonderful people, wonderful welcome and wonderful cafe do manha overlooking a kind of forest inside Olinda. Comfortable rooms and well located. Very good and very charming Barrio Cafe e Bar nearby.
