I've stayed at the Hotel Luz several times over the last 20 years and it looks quite the same now as it did then. It's a clean hotel with courteous staff, clean rooms and a good night sleep. Unfortunately the plumbing lets the hotel down at the time of writing - the water is hot but the pipework can be very noisy when you turn it on but the noise disappears with a stronger flow.
Wi-Fi is not free which was disappointing.
Parking near the hotel was not bad this time but sometimes you have to really search for a parking spot or pay to use the parking under the hotel. There parking behind the hotel is on a "pay & display" basis between 9am and 8pm but if you overpay you carry the time over to the next morning. There is some parking available on Avenida Sondheim but if you park in the bays outside the law courts at the wrong times then you may find that your car has been towed.
