Be very careful when booking this hotel on-line - their booking page stated 'if you have not received an e-mail within 24 hours your booking is not confirmed' - we didn't so tried to book again (website does not contain an email address) and eventually went into the hotel in person to confirm our booking.

Hotel is located in a safe neighbourhood. Front desk staffs are friendly & can provide a lot of useful info, however the room is not worth for the price I paid; bathroom cleanliness is a big concern, I can see dust all over the ceiling.

Though it is not pretty Paysandu Hotel is comfortable, clean, centrally located, relatively not too expensive and very well equipped. Our room had internet, TV, safe and mini bar. We found it in Last Minute travel for less than 100$ so obviously we were happy. More
