I was in San Raphael Plaza Hotel last week for a conference at the hotel. It is located in downtown Porto Alegre, very busy during the day, but scary at night. The city center is ugly, the only point of interest within walking distance is the central market with good restaurants, but be careful. As for the hotel, I spent... More

The hotel is very confortable and a good option, if you have money to pay for it. Lies in the city center close to many shops And touristical attractions. More

One of the most traditional hotels in Porto Alegre. But due to the degradation of the area where it is located, and the emergence of other good hotels in nicer areas, this hotel became no longer a good option. I found the cleanliness and the services a little worse than my first visit 10 years ago. But the hotel is... More

The most traditional hotel in Porto Alegre, focused on guest experience with people focused on you. Some building areas are old but the refurbished one are great. They have a amazing and brand new rooftop with a swiming pool and a great fitness center. More

Very big room overlooking the lagoon with free internet and breakfast. Bit dated in furnishing - but clean and comfortable with helpful staff. Even when I complained my key card didn't work and they politely pointed out it was from another hotel! More

The Hotel has now new upgraded floors, but all in one, stay there only if absolute necessary, in my case, the convention center across the street. For the same price there are better ones. More

It's a classic Porto Alegre's hotel, part of the city's history. It's a big building with plenty of space. The rooms are spacious, but some of them are very old and seems like you are in the 80's decade, not very good for a 5 star hotel. Ask to stay in one room with an end 1 to 17. They... More

If you want to be in a great hotel in Porto Alegre, you could find many good choices. But if you want to be in city center, this hotel is your choice. Plaza Sao Rafael is great for business stays; good convention center, great and comfy rooms, excellent breakfast, great cuisine and a staff well prepared for attend a high-level... More

You can still see evidence that the Plaza Sao Rafael was once THE grand hotel of Porto Alegre. The staff is first-rate and many speak English. The hotel is near the Mercado and museums, though Porto Alegre is not what I would consider a tourist destination. I was there for a Congresso at Fiergs, the exposition center which is a... More
