Very nice location and friendly staff. The AC in my room was not working properly so they upgraded me to a better and larger room for free. The larger room was very spacious and had a very nice bathroom. The location of the hotel is great, right in the middle of the city and within walking distance to major attractions.

the breakfast was an extent value and quality. The hotel is well located on a main tourist rout. The room was comfy and the staff very helpful.

Location, walking distance to all attractions Room was clean Bathroom amenities were ok

- Location: it is totally awesome. A 7 minute-walk from the cathedral and from the Trinidade metro station, and a 2 minute-walk from the Sao Bento train station and from the lively part of the city center. - Very cheap, but at the same time equipped with everything you need (hair-drier, towels, fridge, small safe deposit box, BIDET, etc).

Best place, in the middle of the historical center. If you want to rest a little after your morning tour, it's just around the corner

Even though we had to check out at 04:00 due to flight connections, we found breakfast prepared at the reception. Much appreciated.

Rooms are a decent size and ensuite bathroom all up to date. The hotel itself is an old building so the reception is dated and old fashioned but I personally love it. It looks lovely.

The staff at the reception was excellent. We came across some surprises during our stay and we always got a piece of good advice from them!

The hotel is in an excellent location. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was beautifully clean. The shower worked well. Breakfast was good.

Clean and comfy beds. Yummy breakfast, good staff. Perfect location!!! Great value for the price paid.
