My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were different from the photos on the booking site, but they were comfortable and spacious enough for 3 or 4 people. Although small, the room provided all the basic amenities I needed. The nearby restaurants offered a variety of options for meals.

The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, going above and beyond by providing a city map without me even asking and giving great recommendations on places to visit. They were also prompt in assisting with any requests.

The hotel's location had its ups and downs. While it was a bit far from the city and required a 10-minute walk to the closest underground station, it was excellent for reaching from the airport even at night. The convenience of easily walking to major sites downhill and the proximity to the metro for returning was a plus. However, the lack of soundproofing in the shower room and noise from late-night owner discussions were minor drawbacks.

The hotel is situated in an ordinary working residential area with local shops and cafes nearby for breakfast options. While the dining experience was average, the availability of fresh sandwiches and included meals was a nice touch.

The hotel rooms are nice and clean, but there were some minor issues like missing bulbs and a bath/sink plug. The service was friendly, although the presence of cigarette smoke was noticeable. The location is convenient with easy access to the metro, but a bit of a walk to the underground. The dining options are limited to nearby cafes, but the hotel includes regional products. Overall, a decent value for money stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were small, but they had everything one might need for a comfortable stay, including a double bed, good mattress-pillows, small flat-screen TV, fan, and a fast internet connection. Everything was clean, which was great, but the lack of privacy was a downside as the room was right next to another one.

The service was a bit of a mixed bag. While the staff was very helpful and accommodating, the fact that smoking inside was allowed created a pervasive stench of cigarette smoke throughout the building.

I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The lady host, despite her limited English skills, had a charming personality that made up for it. The room, although smaller, had all the necessary amenities including a comfortable bed, desk, chair, TV set, fridge, and kettle. However, there was no work table desk as I would have liked, and it was different from the photos on Booking.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms had everything I needed, although there was a slight smell of smoke. It's conveniently located just a short walk or subway ride away from the center of Sao Bento. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very friendly and helpful. The location was great, allowing easy access to main sites and the metro. The dining options were basic but sufficient for a quick meal. The facilities were adequate and met my needs during my stay.
