The hotel isn't fancy but the location and large-sized rooms are perfect for dropping your bags and seeing the city. It is next door to the awesome Sunday morning market and across the street from the municipal park. The front desk staff speak English and are very helpful. There is a complete breakfast buffet with something for everyone.

They say Othon used to be the best hotel in town for many years, but, truth is, not everyone is lucky enough to age gracefully. The whole downtown area has gone decadent and it shows. Lobby and rooms could use a redecoration, since the 80´s are long gone. Since they target conventions and business people, most guests won´t mind being... More

I don't know if all the rooms are the same size, but mine was huge. The hotel is old. It's 70's style. It feels like you're in a James Bond movie. It's in front of Afonso Pena avenue and a beautiful city park. I loved the view. The breakfast was also good. If you're going to downtown Belo Horizonte, the... More

The location is excellent. The municipal park across the hotel was a good excuse to do the morning walks. The service was ok. The check in was smooth but the check out was not. Getting to have some one take notice to "english" Vs people speaking "portugese" was a challenge. Food at breakfast was not great. We were disappointed on... More

Never never never choose this hotel! Terrible experience, I'm pretty sure the Othon palace is the worst place I've ever slept at (hostels included for sure!!!). It is old, dirty, smelly and it doen't feel safe at all! Furthermore this huge, ugly building is in the middle of a crowded street, they don't have rooms with inner view and they... More

The service is pretty nice and the noise problem seems to have been solved. The outdated furniture and smelly carpet are still there though. They should refurbish it urgently! It does not worth 200R$ per night.

once a top hotel in belo horizonte, the othon palace nowadays appears a bit run down. the rooms are spacious, the top floor restaurant has a great view over the city and the hotel is very centrally located just in front of the parque municipal. but don't expect anything new, modern or chic there. if you want to travel back...

The Belo Horizonte Othon Palace was built in 1978, following the design and architectural tendencies of that decade. But in order to keep offering better products and services to our guests we are already investing in the refurbishment of our rooms as... More

This hotel is more at least 30 years old and urgently need renovations. It's on one of BHs main roads and the windows barely close so that it feels like sleeping on an expressway. Everything needs refurbishment, carpet, bathroom, lobby. Staff was not helpful either and barely spoke any English. Completely overpriced for what you get. However, location is very... More

The Othon Palace Belo Horizonte is BY FAR the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Don’t think twice before booking a room at this hotel, thing at least 10 times. Even though I had read all the negative reviews about the hotel, which are most of them, I still chose to stay there because of its location. I needed to... More
