Good location and breakfast.
Hotel faces main sqare and Municipal Theater and Aqueduct.
At this time part of the lobby is being demolished.At our arrival front desk clerk showed up in jeans and somewhat dirty shirt.
Hallway and room carpet very dirty.Windows not soundproof.Street noise very loud at 13th level ! Toilet shutoff valve eventually turns off after 4 loud minutes.At one time our door key started spinning and we could nor open the door.Had to wait 3 hours to enter apt.after they finally located some expert.
Overall not much to see except street life, or one takes in the beach scene 60 km away.The zoo is 30 min.away by way of the metro underground,which is first class and cheap.But the zoo is not fully staffed with animals,but is nice.Taxi to the airport is R$80 but can be negotiated for R$60 and takes 25 min.

Well this hotel definitely deserves a review because I had a great stay there. It is a clean, well-located hotel in the downtown area of Sao Paulo. You are close to everything - metro, shopping, ATMs, monuments to see, amongst the theatre district and other sites. Very interesting and truly a bargain for what you get. You have a large, clean room, although nothing exceptionally luxurious. The staff was fantastic and unbelievably helpful in assisting all my needs. Really recommend it!

This hotel seemed like a stately but affordable hotel from the website. Unfortunately when we arrived, we heard that it was a very nice hotel about 20 years ago. Absolutely no one spoke any English and there was no concierge. The doorman looked confused when I pointed to the sign above the desk that read `concierge`. We were left to wander around the city until we found a travel agency that was able to book us a city tour. The room was minimal, and with no safe, which was unfortunate. The bed was very hard and had tears in the sheets, which were not changed for the duration of our stay. The elevators in the hotel worked intermittantly, as the hotel seemed to turn them off frequently. The hallways were dark and depressing.
