The Park Plaza at Alameda Lorena used to be a hotel in the solid middle class for busy business travellers. I know the place for over 15 years. Lately however, the establishment seems to be stressed and service has suffered accordingly. Rooms are sparse but are still functional for the average road warrior on a tight budget. Bathrooms are outdated and too tight for an average sized human being and cleanliness could be better. Obviously the hotel is still strategically located in the bustling Jardin area of Sao Paulo but these days it is overpriced for what it has to offer. Make sure you have an iron clad guaranteed reservations - otherwise you might get bumped off at a late arrival.

Awful beds with cheap linens and pillows. The blanket looks like a skinned dog! Dirty, old bathrooms and worn carpet. Very Very noisy as you can here the toilet flush and can hear when someone starts the water for a shower.The lobby is nice and you think that it's a nice hotel until you get to the room. Very friendly staff, but I would skip it next time.

Good location in a safe area. The rooms clean the staff is very helpful.

This hotel is well located in terms of restaurants and shopping being down the hill from Avenide Paulista, but as others have mentioned it is a bit of a walk up hill to the metro.

The room was smaller than I expected and the sound does travel between rooms. The guy in the room next to ours had the television up full volume and it woke me up in the middle of the night. Fortunately he responded to the proverbial wall bang and the sound didn't recurr at night.

The breakfast is good by most standards, but Brazilian breakfasts when they are great are better than anywhere in the world.

The staff on the front desk were very helpful and friendly. I'd stay there again.
