This is a simple hotel, the room is basic and clean the breakfast area is small and crowded and by Brazilian standards it was modest. I went for work and for a 2 nights only - would never stay there on vacation mainly because its way overpriced for what it offers.

Very close to the airport and on one of Brazil's most famous beaches, Boa Viagem. Make no mistake Recife is one gritty, snarling city, and one of the country's biggest. Also one of i'ts most dangerous - saying that we witnessed nothing to suggest this.There is gridlocked traffic, construction on every corner, rubbish strewn everywhere (like in the rest of... More

The staff was very helpful, the general accommodations were satisfactory, the localization was close to a shopping mall and to a touristic fair, and above all, the breakfast was very tasteful and plenty of regional food. I strongly recommend it and I intend to return to it again.

Located in Boa Viagem, nice area for shopping and enjoying the beach, the hotel is clean and staff kind. My room was small but comfortable. If you are lucky you can get one with a nice view!

Recife is not a nice city to begin with - needs a serious overhaul in all areas of hospitality. I cant see how they will cope with the world cup in 2014 I was there on business with my wife. The city simply does not have enough hotels. So they do not improve there service/culture because they are always full.... More

Typical latin american furnishings and cleanliness (a little mildew in the shower). Shower was warm, but no super-hot water (shower head has the water heater... More
