    A delightful visit to Paraty.

    The air conditioner units outside 2 of the rooms were very noisy and disturbed our sleep but once we moved rooms it was much improved.

    Pousada Porto Imperial proved to be central to many of the Paraty sites.The staff were friendly and engaged and the rooms were spotless with comfortable beds and linen.We particularly enjoyed the pool and bar area and found the breakfast to be a superb selection.

    Sometimes there was no one at the pool bar and we had to hunt for a waiter.

    Great location! Great bar near the pool. There was a car valet on the street ready to take our car and the car arrived quickly when we left.

    The shower. This is the only hotel in which I have ever stayed where you have to worry about running out of cold water. The shower water was scalding hot. Also, there was not a lot of space to store one's clothing.

    The location was perfect, although a bit noisy. (This is a party town on weekends, so this was to be expected.) The staff were very friendly and helpful. The property grounds were large and comfortable.

    We have no complaints. The Pousada is really ok. we read in reviews that some people found the breakfast (cafe da manha) “awesome”. But this is an over statement. The breakfast is good fully according to the Brazilian standard. But not “awesome”. The scrambled eggs where tasteful and the (strong) coffee was good. With the price we paid we think that the sheets good be changed at least once.

    The hotel is super well located right amidst the animation of restaurants, bars and shops. The Pousada is quite big but because of the antique construction this does not bother. The swimming pool area is nice. the pool is big enough for a pleasant dip, there are sun layers and there is a bar where all kinds of drinks are availability to be taken on the well designed sofas. We had apartment 205 which gave nice views on the mountains. The room was quite big with a nice bed. The staff members of the pool bar are nice and always at your service. The whole place is well care taken after. We enjoyed are stay and find the Pousada really recommendable. We stayed four nights.

    Not everyone from the staff speak English.

    The hotel is located in the historical center of Paraty. We got a room close to the pool but it was not loud at all. It was not particularly big but comfortable and clean. Breakfast has a variety of options, including nice fresh juices and fruit.

    We had a great stay. I don't think there's anything we could complain about. The bedroom was clean, the service was pretty good. There was massage, sauna, swimming pool. We didn't use the room service, so can't talk much about it.

    The breakfast was pretty good with lots of options. Not sure if there was many vegan options, apart from fruits. The location was as good as expected as I was looking for a place close to the historic centre and the beach and that was perfect.

    Bathroom was sub-standard
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Standard Double or Twin Room
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The photos advertised on the Booking.com website are quite misleading. The standard room did not have photos of the bathroom, which led us to believe that the generic photos were real photos of the bathroom. FACT: The generic photos advertised on Booking.com do not include the bathroom photos of the standard room because the bathrooms in the standard rooms are quite disgusting. Very sub-standard given the price and prestige of this hotel/pousada. We made a complaint, but all the manager said was: I can't help you. I'll tell our marketing team to do better. We booked this pousada because the photos of the bathroom made it seem clean and up to par with the prices the Pousada Porto Imperial charges. This was a lie and, with the city fully booked, the manager shrugged her shoulders. Not recommending this place again. I will be uploading REAL photos here and on Trip Adviser.

    Breakfast was very good, although very little variation throughout our stay. The bar/restaurant was okay, but with very few vegetarian options. The cocktails were amazing, although the prices were exorbitant. The bed was very comfortable. Most of the staff were very friendly. It is conveniently located.

    Not a good cost/benefit. The shower is amazing but I had a cold shower one day because we run out of hot water. The internet was down for 80% of the time. We were asked to book a time slot for breakfast because the hotel was full. If you are paying over $300 dollars a night, that is not the experience you expect.

    The hotel is in a great location and the staff is fantastic. Very nice swimming pool and bar. Good breakfast. The rooms were large and the shower amazing.

    The bed in my room was broken and gave me terrible back pain. I couldn’t enjoy my days on vacation because of it. Not only they wouldn’t apologize or want to compensate for that with a discount, but they also suggested I was the one who broke the bed. Plus, there were cockroaches in the hotel aisle.

    Personnel at the pool were very nice. Great breakfast, even with lactose free milk. Wonderful pool. Clean sheets. Nice rooms.
