8.5Verified guest“Clean, comfortable, and secure.”
8.5Verified guest“The hotel is near Bar Brahma and Casa da Mortadela, where they serve great sandwiches.”
8.5Verified guest“Conveniently located near Praca da Republica. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The staff is friendly and always trying to help, though not very knowledgeable. I would stay here again.”
8.5Verified guest“Good value considering the room size and cleanliness.”
8.5Verified guest“It's really a good hotel for independent business travelers who run their own businesses and can't afford places like Marriott or Sheraton. The staff are superb, and the internet is good—any problem is attended to immediately. It's close to Republica metro station, so you can go anywhere easily. The only issue is finding a good restaurant nearby, but I eventually found one around the corner. For business, quick moves, and good connectivity, I'd say this hotel is the best.”
8.5Verified guest“The price is right, it's close to the subway station, and just one stop from Avenida Paulista. Free wireless internet access is a plus.”
