The Pousada Portas Da Amazonia is an amazing building. A renovated mansion (or perhaps several joined together) in the historic centre, the pousada is a rambling labyrinth of corridors, courtyards, stairs and rooms. Our room was enormous at front of the building overlooking the street and a nearby public square. The view was great but one night we stayed was... More

Great experience...maybe I got lucky this time, as I got a nice and spacious room for a (relative) small price directly contacting them, so try your luck (I just paid 120+5%, below rack value). the breakfast is okay, the pizzaria next door is full of mosquitos but the room is just great. If you arrive by plane just take a... More

We spent the 3 first nights of our stay in Brazil in this Pousada and felt warmly welcome. It is located in the heart of the historic old town. The breakfast was the best we ever had since, the rooms are spacious and the entire buildings charming with a lot of corners to hang out and relax. The staff is... More

In any of the Centro Historicos in more developed and commercialized restored colonial places in Brazil, this pousada would be an also-ran, but in Sao Luis where things are not nearly as far along as Paraty, Porto Galinhas, Morro Sao Paolo, Oro Preto and most of Minas and elsewhere, Portas da Amazonia is about as good as it gets.

This is a rustic guesthouse right in the center of the historical district, on one of the most photographed steets in Sao Luis; very comfortable and very well furnished. It was a great base from which to explore.

This is a very quirky hotel, in the middle of the historic centre in Sao Luis. Location is very good once you are there, but the taxi can only drop you off at the top of a hill where you have to come down some stairs and then go up half a street. This can be tricky if you have... More

We were very much impressed by this old mansion that has been renovated, but kept its original charm. In that respect it really is unique. Even the spacious rooms still have the original atmosphere. Staff is friendly and professional. Breakfast was nothing special, and we got a bit annoyed by the (enormous) amount of fruit flies over the breakfast buffet.... More

When I booked this Inn I was interested in the experience of being in a XIX colonial house and the experience was really amazing. The building was totally renovated without missing its caractheristics and the result is a nice Inn in the middle of the historic center. My room was large (I just have some problems with the key, because... More

This hotel is in the heart of the old town and has a lot of charm. Its beautifully styled and the rooms around the internal courtyard are really lovely. It is an old hotel and you can hear a lot of creaks and groans (and perhaps a few little critters) during the night. But, the staff are super friendly and... More
