“Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

I stayed for 3 nights on business. It is more casual than supposed to be as its name "executive the advance", actually. Staffs are nice and the room is comfortable enough for its price.

You need to tell in Portuguese when you order a room service, but no need any difficult words. If you can tell your room number and the plate you order, it will be enough.

I felt in safe in this neighborhood, but I had believed that this area was more beautiful, which was actually not. For, Jardins is known as the most fancy area in Sao Paulo.
Sao Paulo itself is a city in the middle of being developed and everything will be improved very quickly see that there were a lot of constructions in the city here and there.

I will use this hotel when I come back for a business trip.

“Great location and hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Stayed here which visiting Sao Paulo and it is a very good hotel. Rooms are spacious and clean. Location is very close to both Consolação metro station and is withing Jardins area where many of the best shops/restaurants are. Complimentary parking, wifi and breakfast while still being a good value hotel. Beds are confortable and the hotel is pretty quiet. Only negative was on one night when we returned late, we only got up at around 3pm meaning our room was not cleaned. However I expect it would have been had we asked.

Hotel so good that we returned a few days later!

“Good location, Decent services”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Description in a few words:

This hotel is what you´d expect for an older building: spacious rooms, very silent but carpet on the floor. Decent enough breakfast. Nice staff. Would return!


THE GOOD
Prime Location in Sao Paulo. Close to the Metro and main attractions at Av. Paulista
Spacious Rooms
Friendly Staff

THE AVERAGE
The breakfast is good, but unspetacular.
Price sounds about right for the city (which is very expensive, btw)

THE UGLY
Lobby is very small, with no Lobby bar whatsoever
Air conditioning only (no heating). Night was cold and it made a difference!

“Perfect choice for Sao Paulo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2011

people found this review helpful

Excelent cost-benefit.
Only 1 block from Paulista Avenue, near to subway station (essential in Sao Paulo).
Near to several good restaurants, with a charming (but small) public park at a walking distance.
An easy place to go by taxi, about 5 miles from domestic flights airport.
People at the front desk are very kind and try to do everything to please the guests.
The room is not big (some 300sqft), but is a nice place to stay.
