“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

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 four nights at this hotel that needs updating. The plumbing and air conditioning was noisy, old furniture, very expensive as everything in Brazil lately. Check out was a nightmare with long lines in the lobby. I do not recommend, but notice that other better hotels in Porto Alegre are hard to find.

Room Tip: Ask for a room down the hall and bring ear plugs or a vallium

“Excelent, high level hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

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.

“Ok if you must stay close to downtown Porto Alegre.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

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 modernizing, and for those who must stay near the center, I think this is still one of the best options in the area.

“still the great hotel in porto alegre”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

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.

“Friendly hotel centraly located”

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!

Room Tip: High floor best - ask fo rroom at back to avoid traffic noise.
