The room has a small lounge, kitchenette, bathroom and bedroom. The hotel is in need of a renovation to take it out of the 90's. Good location for the financial district, but not sure the price aligns with other hotels on a global level. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Limited places to eat, especially if you have a... More

The hotel is ok and the room is fine. You only have a problem with the bathroom since most of the rooms are facing a business building and the bathroom does not have a curtain. So be careful while taking a shower or you will end up with pictures of you on the internet. You can always sue the hotel... More

The hotel is, on average, a good place to stay. Clean, near from good places, basic breakfast. The bad thing is that my 3G connection is way faster than the "high speed" internet connection provided (paid).

I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights, while on a business trip, and neither chose it or had to pay for it - which was good, because I would have felt really bad if I had. I arrived in the evening, so my first impression, of the lobby, was pretty good - as somehow I expected a small and... More

This is really an average hotel in Sao Paolo. This does not make it necessarily bad , but I would not stay there if I had the choice. The decor is really outdated but in general is a clean hotel. Breakfast is basic and dinner/room service is not one of the best. Its in the Vila Olimpia area which is... More

I often wonder why people rate business hotels as good when the fact is they are outdated, the front desk personnel is rude and the restaurant offers mediocre food at an additional cost.

Very clean hotel with friendly staff but far away from touristy areas such as Paulista Ave and Praca de Se. Would prefer to stay in a hotel closer to Paulista Ave next time, which would also be closer to the international airport.

Very well located, in the middle of Vila Olimpia (nice nightlife spot), this hotel is modern and comfortable. Its a very quiet zone as well. The room was spacious and very clean, the breakfeast is complete and the staff very attentive. Once there dont miss the Jardineira barbecue restaurant, among the best in town... its only a few blocks away.
