"Good hotel off a very popular street so that was nice. Breakfast buffet has a lot of breads but they do offer omelets made (you have to fill out an order form). No water at the breakfast buffet so that was interesting but good orange juice. Overall good value for the price"

Don't expect high service standards or smooth traffic and you will enjoy things when you get good service or are lucky enough to have a traffic jam-free journey.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

I left São Paulo city 18 years ago. Came back for the first time this year. It’s VERY unsafe. You should not use any cell phones in public, you can be assaulted or robbed. Crime is outrageous.
