“Average all around.”

We booked this hotel based upon location, kitchenette and price. We were in Porto Alegre only the two nights we stayed at this hotel so it is difficult to comment on because we have nothing to compare to. That said, it is close to the few cultural attractions listed in guide books and the web. It is on the main pedestrian street in the old city and near the wet market. Little if any English spoken by staff. Breakfast the usual fare for a brasilian hotel in this category. Room was large. Kitchenette consisted of a small sink, mini fridge full of mini bar fare for sale, a small counter again full of minibar fare for sale and a mini microwave on a shelf close to six feet from the ground. Girlfriend could not reach it. Nothing to microwave in - we purchased at supermarket. Internet was painfully slow. Snail mail may have been quicker! Overall, quite averàge. One sometime English speaking tv station and CNN international. Mini safe in room was the size of a cookie box, wasn't connected to anything and had no lock!
