“Convenient hotel in Brasilia”

The hotel is modern, clean and comfortable. It is a short walk to the metro, and a half-hour walk to Brasilia's monumental government centre. The 'hotel sector' and adjacent 'commercial centre' are uninspiring, with few evening restaurant options. However, there is one Brazillian barbeque nearby. There is (payable) internet access in reception. There is an hourly bus service from this area direct to the airport.

“Best value in Brasilia!”

excellent value for the location and overall condition of the hotel. Very good breakfast, excellent bedroom with clean bathroom and nice hot water, fair wireless internet, very kind personnel. only needs more people to have quicker response in service requests.

“"Planalto" = High Plateau (in English); "Bittar" = Name of Brazilian Hotel Chain”

I arrived earlier than expected, and there was some confusion over # of days I was actually planning to stay in Brasilia. Most hotel staff only spoke Portuguese, but I eventually met the one day-time employee who helped straighten out the booking situation. I grew to be quite fond of the place before the end of my stay. The front desk staff was very helpful about arranging an excellent city tour. The area immediately surrounding the hotel is somewhat seedy and I did not feel comfortable walking around alone after dark. However, one of the best aspects of the hotel was the basement breakfast room, which became a quite decent restaurant open quite late into the evening. Thus, I was able to be a daylight tourist, and then return to the hotel before dark and safely take dinner in-house. Did I say that the complimentary breakfast buffet was bountiful? So, all of this worked for me, and the trade-off for the security risk was the really low hotel rates. I would happily stay there again if my travels ever bring me back to Brasilia. I also do not hesitate to recommend the Planalto Bittar to other travelers who can deal w/ the surrounds & language issues.

“Brasilia”

Located just off the main route. It was ideal for visiting all the important sites,which the capital has. there was a bus which stopped directly outside which took us to and from the airport.
