Motto By Hilton Recife

Recife Antigo, 1.3 km from São José

"O quarto não era confortável, muito embora seja reformado e bonito. Era uma cama sobre um sofá, o que tinha barulho. O quarto ficava entre portas dos quartos vizinhos, então era possível ouvir as pessoas até tossindo. O chuveiro é bom, mas vasa água para o quarto. A parte de chuveiro e vaso sanitário são de parede/porta de vidro fosco, então é desconfortável usar o vaso sanitário com alguém no quarto. O serviço de limpeza chegou quando estava no banho e pedi para voltar em meia hora, mas não...

Top São José Hotel Reviews

Rede Andrade Plaza Recife

4/10 Poor

"Breakfast was nice. Rooms and common area inc pool are super old and falling apart. Area is walking distance to old town."

Hotel Atlante Plaza

6/10 Okay

"We stayed here with my husband and family, and our experience was truly special. Every time we come back to Recife, we choose this hotel because of the incredible people who work here. The location is also extremely convenient, especially given its proximity to the airport, which makes traveling much easier. The staff, Genesio, Ivan, Davi, Everton, Roberto, Armando, Lincoln, Maria Lucia, Lidma, and Carlos (I hope I remembered everyone correctly), are absolutely nice and amazing. They consistently go above and beyond, making every stay feel warm and personal. They don’t treat you like just another guest; they make you feel welcomed, valued, and at home. People like them are the reason guests keep coming back, and they are truly the heart of this hotel. Breakfast was excellent, everyone was extremely helpful, and it was always one of the highlights of our stay. The only reason I’m not giving a perfect review is that, considering the price of the stay, the rooms could use better upkeep. Unfortunately, there was quite a bit of mold in the room, which was disappointing. This hotel has so much potential, thanks to its genuinely exceptional service and staff. With better room maintenance, the experience would be absolutely perfect. Also, the smoking area should be moved ASAP; it's not really good in front of the hotel."

Kastel Manibu Recife - Boa Viagem

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of food, including fresh fruits and different types of bread—it felt authentic and well-prepared. I loved the kitchen; it has everything you need, which made the stay very convenient. The location is amazing, close to everything—just 3 minutes from the beach, restaurants, and shops. Having a car is recommended to get around easily"
