8.4Verified guest“The staff were really friendly and excellent. The location is amazing – you can't beat it, especially with the great Italian restaurants nearby.”
8.4Verified guest“The hotel is perfectly located near Paulista Avenue in a clean and relatively safe district. The building itself is high and luxury-looking, but inside it felt older. The room was good, though corners and roof areas needed renovation. The bed was comfortable, and the A/C was quiet and effective. Wi-Fi was glitchy initially, but we got a general login that worked. Breakfast was nice.”
