Top São José Hotel Reviews

Transamerica Prestige Recife - Boa Viagem

8/10 Good

"Ficamos em um quarto no 32º andar, com vista maravilhosa para a praia. A cama king é ótima, ducha muito boa, quarto espaçoso. Disponibilizam uma cafeteira de cápsula mas não funcionou apesar da minha reclamação. Não vou avaliar como excelente pelo fato do café da manhã sem no máximo razoável. Não havia um simples pão francês do dia e sim alguns pães ruins. Tinha também frutas e outros ítens, que não me agradaram. Um hotel com a marca Transamérica deveria oferecer um café da manhã à altura do nome. Fiquei sabendo que eles terceirizam o serviço mas deviam fiscalizar. Irei me hospedar novamente, sem criar expectativas quanto ao café."

Haus Smart Living Recife

8/10 Good

"Liked: very clean, having a kitchen, good safe location, access to bus and public bike nearby. Nice rooftop terrace and very good prices. Self check in with code via WhatsApp. Drip coffee maker. Disliked: no hair dryer, no frying pan. Pots and pans supplied are very cheap quality. Only 2 pillows on a large bed. Suitable for short stays. I was happy overall even though I really needed a hair dryer!"
