8.2/10 Very Good! (317 reviews)

TThe area surrounding the hotel is quite dirty and filled with homeless people, making me feel unsafe. Dining at the hotel's three-part restaurant, I was charged 9 reais for a cup of hot water, which is ridiculous. However, the rooms are okay. I would not choose to stay here again. But it's suitable for a short trip.

The property is beautiful and the food is great. However, we found a BAT in our bathroom and the staff did not seem concerned and their response was very underwhelming (pretty much none)
