“We booked a private room with a balcony and the view of the cathedral was stunning. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always checking we had what we needed. The location was ideal, right in the centre and close to Sao Bento metro. The common areas were clean and comfy, and it was easy to meet other travellers. The beds were comfortable, with curtains for privacy, and the AC kept the room cool.”
