This hotel is located in the heart of the action (close to a major road and places to visit) and so close to the metro that it is super easy to move quickly around the city. The morning breakfast is excellent, a lot of choices with good taste. The building, rooms and common areas look old and really need and upgrade, but the service is great and everything is clean. From the person who help you carrying your luggage, the one driving your car to the parking garage, the front desk person and the cleaning lady, we always found a smile and willing to help with any question we could have. If you are ok with no fancy hotels, stay here, you will enjoy the old style hotel. Do not expect luxury and not English channels or HBO, just regular Brazilian channels, plus a good WiFi service, at least on the fourth floor.
