If you're planning a budget trip to Curitiba then Tulip Inn Santa Felicidade should be considered.
Located in the nice Santa Felicidade district (which was founded by Italian immigrants), this hotel is a bit far from downtown, but close to a wide range of dinning and shopping (mostly furniture and handcraft) options.
City touring by bus is easy, as the Linha Turística (touristic line) has a stop right in front of the hotel, with buses coming every half an hour.
Regarding the hotel itself, is has an excellent value considering it's category: large rooms, free wi-fi access, heated-pool, complimentary breakfast and amenities not usually expected in a 3-star Brazilian hotel (bathtub, hair dryer, iron, alarm clock and toillete set).
All of this for a daily rate of 69USD (couple + 5 year old child), against 53USD at Accor's spartan-styled Ibis (which charges an extra 6USD/PAX for breakfast).
