10/10 Exceptional

Great location!!! Within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Hop, skip and jump from Santuario do Senhor Santo Cristo. Love the architectural details and historical look of the hotel.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff at checking was very helpful and nice. All was good, hotel is old, but nice, especially the common areas. The rooftop pool is fun to try. Breakfast was a bit off - we went down at 9am and several options finished, you needed to request for refill which is awkward. Enjoyed the stay overall (spent only 1 night).

2/10 Poor

Not Worth 4 Stars – Very Disappointing Stay

The hotel was old and smelled bad. The pool was not good, but the location was nice. The room was full of bugs, the AC didn’t work well, and the staff were kind. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I don’t think it was a 4-star hotel.
Mehdi, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location. Breakfast was good. Rooms are a bit tired looking.
Linley, 1-night trip

The staff was wonderful. It was a very spacious hotel room (which is hard to find in Europe). It was very close to downtown and the breakfast was delicious with lots of options.
