this is my first TA 100% happy review. we had a magnificent master room facing the mostly quiet street, smack in the middle of the pleasant historic center. the on premises pizzeria offered the best value dinner and excellent quality pizza and caipirinhas. Free breakfast was okay. Service was skilled, very attentive and simply excellent. The pousada is a tastefully... More

We stayed here for 2 nights, before and after our trip to Lencois Maranhenses. The location is very central, perfect for exploring the old city of Sao Luis, and our rooms which face the inner courtyard, were large, airy and quite quiet in the evenings. Breakfast was an excellent spread bountiful with different fruits, juices, cakes and pastries and the... More

This Pousada has a great potential, but some details needs to be improved... The building is beautiful, there are some nice sitting areas, the dining room is charming and breakast is tasety...the room we have got (facing the street) was spacious and nice; it is pity that there are some maintenance issues that spoil the experience (like moving tables in...

Pousada Portas da Amazonia is may be not a place where I would stay for 1 week because not so many things to do around the pousada, but for a 1, 2 or 3 nights in Sao Luis when you want to be in the old area, this place is like a jewel for those who like good atmosphere and... More

This was a charming experience in a charming old city. Situated in the "old city", it retained much a the charm of colonial Brazil with exposed beams and a delightful inner courtyard. I'd grade breakfast about a B+. I recommend opting for the highest quality room. It's huge, mine overlooking the street with several full length windows that let you... More

This hotel's main attraction is its location in the historic center. It consists of several inter-connected houses on a hilly, cobble stoned street, with broken sidewalks. This location is, however, a mixed blessing. When we arrived on a week-night the street was incredibly noisy with music blaring from the open windows of adjacent houses. Access to the hotel is difficult... More

If the Portas da Amazonia were a hostel, it would be ok. But it's not. It sells itself as an upmarket hotel and it prices accordingly. Frankly, it's a con. Naively expecting to stay in a room vaguely resembling the well-restored, light, airy rooms on the website, we were disappointed (to put it mildly) to be given a room with... More

Location is in the historic centre, helpful staff, super cleaners, breakfast was good, interesting historic layout, convenient to restaurants and museums. Only mis-adventure was that our van transfer to Barreirinhas did not pick us up as agreed. Fortunately the same person who booked it was on duty the day we were to leave and remembered the date and time. In... More

We stayed at the Portas da Amazonia both before and after visiting the Lencois Maranhenses National Park. This hotel/pousada is located at the heart of São Luís historic center, a beautiful place, but, with a noisy nightlife around your lodging. At the hotel you have to choose between the large rooms with big old windows facing the road (but noise)... More
