The hotel is clean, nice but with little personality. The rooftop pool is very nice but a little small if there was several people around. Its in a fairly quiet location so getting a taxi to most places is necessary although we ate one night at a nice churrascaria about 3 blocks away (the hotel gave us directions).

Stayed for two nights. The room was a good size with desk for work. Bedroom had an OK bed (in comfort terms) but the walls were a tad thin so you could hear from above and below. Also, despite being on the 6th floor and at the side, you could still hear noise of passing traffic from the street. Shower was good, but washbasin had only cold water (so typical of cheaper Brazilan hotels but I didn't expect it here, and it's a pain for us who wet-shave.)
Breakfast was very good. Desk staff were pleasant but check out was slow.
Overall, just average. Fine for a couple of nights but wouyldn't want alonger stay.

My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) stayed in 2 rooms at this hotel in July 2008. The front desk was very friendly during check-in except the clerk kept insisting my reservation was in USD when it was actually in Brazilian Reals. I had to show her a copy of the reservation from my e-mail until she was finally convinced. The rooms themselves are very basic, with ceramic tile throughout the unit and a very simple kitchenette. There is no artwork or decoration of any kind hanging on the walls, which I found very surprising. Also, the rooftop pool and workout area were both under renovation for the time I was visiting, with completion expected in mid-August 2008.

Overall, this hotel was simply adequate, but not pleasing, for our 1-night stopover in Manaus before we headed out to a jungle lodge in the Amazon rainforest. I believe this hotel is best for people who won't be spending much time in their room and just need a comfortable, familiar (Mercure brand) place to sleep, such as a business traveler. I would recommend tourists or families with children stay at the Novotel Manaus (another Accor hotel) as their rates are very comparable and they have a zoo and other children's activities.
