"I like place right on polista av. The room I got this time was not good. Low water pressure. I thought I reserved room on 14th floor. But they gave me room on 2nd floor. My first time I stayed on the 12 the floor and it was great. The early check in was great."

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.
