i stayed 4 nights over new years eve. I was in the single room and shared bathroom and although small it was funky and clean. The bathroom was kept spotless the whole day. It was very convenient to the celebrations in the main plaza, not to mention good position for sight seeing and restaurants. Just a fab little place. More

This has to be the best place to stay in Ouro Preto. A small pouso, each room full with period furniture, electic and clean. The staff don't speak a lot of english but do everything they can to get around that. Hughly recommended. More

I read glowing reviews of Pouso do Chico Rei here at tripadvisor and I have to agree, it's everything I expected. Small, rustic, simple, and welcoming. It helps that I met other travelers. More

This perfect little B&B is located within 100m from praca tiradentes (the main square). We (total of 5 people) rented 2 rooms and stayed here on the night of 9/4/11. Although the owners/people who worked here did not know English very well, they made a huge effort to make all of us comfortable. The breakfast is excellent, which consist of... More

I enjoyed my stay at Pouso do Chico Rei. The inn is very atmospheric and superbly located just off Ouro Preto's main square. My room was comfortable and I loved the details as reflected in the furniture and fixtures used. The bathroom's hot water was a bit temperamental but the management had indicated (notice in the room) that the bathrooms... More

Recently stayed and left after one night. The room was very nice (Pablo Neruda)) with beautiful views from windows looking in two directions. The bathroom was small and the hot water was not plentiful. The big disappointment was breakfast. We had to ask the hostess for rolls since they were already gone and also for more fruit. She brought out... More

Thanks for your comments. In regards to the problem with the hot water, we mention in our site that our showers are electric and individual electric showers have a limited amount of water. Regarding the breakfast service, the employees involved were questioned and I was informed that you were served upon request (including eggs with cheese). There was an assortment... More

I have stayed in the Pousada Chico Rei quite a few times( after trying the more expensive inns and hotels) and can only say that this is the "only" place I will ever stay in when I visit Ouro Preto and the only one I will recommend with confidence to others. Maria Helena and her husband are the epitome of... More

This pousada, in the heart of Ouro Preto, has views to die for, a breakfast to sustain you for the day, easy access to the historical core of the city and a very tastefully decorated interior comprised of antiques from the region and the family's heritage. A wonderful place...... More

We found this pousada to be absolutely charming and quite romantic. It has incredible character and some really lovely artworks, as the current owner is an artist, as was his grandfather, who formerly owned the house. We had apartment 6, which is the Pablo Neruda room. It is on a top floor at the back of the house and overlooks... More

I stayed for 18 days in the Elizabeth Bishop Room--where the poet herself stayed. A dream stay--it became my own little writer's residency. The view is amazing from the terrace, the room is filled with great wooden furniture and the staff is warm and efficient. I especially loved the huge breakfasts and the fact that a thermos of hot water... More
