Spent two nights here at the beginning of our South American tour. Arrived on an early flight but they were happy to let us have a room in the morning. Very convenient to have a Metro station nearby - the Sao Paulo metro is great, air-conditioned, terrific way to get around - though going from the hotel to the metro... More

I was quite nervous when choosing where to sleap in São Paulo, mostly because of the size of the city. The Leques Brasil Hotel Escola is conveniently located near a metro station, not that far from the Avenida Paulista. Rooms are big, clean, offer free wifi and have TVs as well. The staff was very friendly, keeping a personal connection... More

Stayed here for one night with my boyfriend. Hotel was very decent and staff was friendly and spoke English. Breakfast was good. I thought the location (Liberdade, near Japantown) was not bad, felt quite safe and was about 4 metro stops from Paulista. However, I am quite surprised that this hotel scores so high on Tripadvisor. For European standards, it... More

I couldn't agree more with the last reviews. The hotel has a very practical location, next to the metro station and is super easily accessible, in a secure part of town. The area has some nice Japanese restaurants around in well lit streets, so certainly a very safe “feeling”! The metro gives you easy access to SP, and the cathedral... More

This hotel is situated within a short walking distance (3 minutes downhill; 5 min if you are slow) from the metro station São Joaquim (Blue Line 1). The staff is very friendly and always open for a quick chat. The area is safe and much cleaner than the city centre, though that is not hard. The best way to reach... More

The Hotel Leques Escola Sao Paulo and the surrounding area: The hotel is located in Liberdade – the former Japanese and now also Korean and Chinese quarter of Sao Paulo. This is a safe area full of restaurants and great for shopping. The Metro Sao Joaquim is located a five minute walk away and you reach the centre of Sao... More

Sao Paulo is actually more expensive than Europe or US. For this fact, the price I paid for this hotel is OK, about 86USD/night. Location is not the best, although the area seems safe. It is located a bit out of the Japanese quarter, close a metro station. A lot of students in the surroundings. Breakfast is OK, but not... More

I made a reservation at this hotel based on the reviews on Tripadvisor, and can safely say the high rating is fully deserved. Reservation via e-mail was quick and efficient, the room is low-key stylish (not too big, but very well organized) and excellent breakfast. Everything works well and the check-in, with Michel and Nacio was easily the friendliest reception... More

This was my first night in Brazil from the UK so I was hoping to feel welcome and secure, the hotel is in a busy area near local shops and eateries and 300 yards from a tube station. From the airport we paid R$110 to get a taxi which i was advised by my local friend was a fair price,... More
