“Tourist/business class hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2009

Stayed at hotel for conference. I think I was upgraded to the jr suite--a corner room with a sitting/desk area. Looks pretty much like the photos on the website. Clean.

Bed was OK (foam mattress, ugly blanket and bedspread, 3 pillows--flat foam, lumpy foam, and feather) and I slept fine. Heavy curtains blocked all light (no shears so either open or closed). Windows can open for fresh air, but I did use the a/c because insects flew in. Old sleeper sofa and basic furniture. Plenty of lamps, though one's cord was a little sensitive. Broadband internet, 3 telephones, minibar, TV with a couple of English news channel, large closet, small safe, and full length mirror. Bathroom had tub/shower, Japanese toilet, magnifying mirror, and hair dryer. Basic towels and toiletries.

My rate included breakfast--Japanese buffet and Western buffet. Western offered bacon and another meat, scrambled or boiled eggs, cold meats and cheeses, yogurt, breads, cereal, fresh fruits, juices, coffee and tea. Japanese had the porridge etc. Fewer offerings on a holiday morning. I thought it was fine. So-so lunch buffet. Also a sushi bar in the evening, but I did not see it open or try it. Also a bar in lobby, but never open.

Looked at the small indoor pool and exercise room. Several machines. I didn't have time to use any of those facilities, the sauna, or the yoga classes. Couple of computers and a printer in the lobby.

Staff is very helpful. We had a couple of problems with paperwork on reservations and they were polite and understanding, seemed to trust that we would work it out. Comforting after an overnight flight when an early check in-half day rate was reserved. Held bags upon checkout. Always seemed to be a taxi waiting in the queue.

Tiny convenience store across the street with nice staff. Drugstore on other corner along with a cafe. Otherwise not much around for the guests. Strictly a place to sleep, not sightsee.

“Large rooms, poor food.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2009

Very big rooms, large bed.
Free internet in rooms and loby.
Breakfast could be much better. Poor variety.
Very small indoor swimming pool.
Small ginasium out of order for more than one month.
Located far from the center but near the wonderful city park 'Iburapuera'.

“Great hotel, totally recommend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2008

people found this review helpful

I booked another one for my stay, the "Formula 1", and just stayed there the first night. That one was horrible, and so tiny! The next morning we wonder around town, and close by we found this one. Amazing hotel and great rates! Really, it has sauna and pool on the upper floors, and we were not able to find it on the internet. I extremely recommend, and the breakfast buffet is really good! Couldn't be happier, really.

Very clean rooms, and with lots of space. The rooms come with spacious closet, good AC, TV, great looking bathrooms, a safe deposit box, and around a good (safe) neighborhood. 5 min walk to the nearest metro station, which is very important. Great staff, great service. We had a room change because our AC was not working at first, and they promptly changed us to a room of our election!

Can't complain, great choice!
