I've stayed at this hotel a few different times since 2002. As the reviewer above notes, a few spots are in need of some paint, but overall it's a good hotel...or a great hotel given the prices in SP. I paid about $50 for a double room in Jan. 2006. Rooms and bathrooms are good-sized and very clean. The people who work there are friendly and helpful. The lobby and facade are charming, and the Praca do Republica is a block away...I'd recommend this hotel.
