I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the center near all the main attractions, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. However, the rooms left much to be desired as they were outdated and needed some upkeep. The dining options were simple and could use more variety, but overall, the hotel offers decent value for the price.

The rooms were spacious and wonderfully decorated, providing a comfortable retreat. The staff was friendly and professional, ensuring a pleasant experience.

I had a great time at this hotel, which is located in a beautiful, tree-lined avenue surrounded by 19th-century mansions. The rooms were spacious and well-decorated, although they could be a bit noisy due to the location. The staff was friendly, but I was disappointed with the service—especially when they didn’t turn on the sauna for us. Overall, the value for money was decent, but I expected a bit more in terms of service.

Rooms

The rooms are spacious, wonderfully decorated, and have large windows that let in plenty of natural light. However, they could be noisier due to the location.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is situated in a beautiful area surrounded by historic mansions. The room was lovely with charming wallpaper, though the lighting could definitely use some work. The staff was incredibly helpful, especially when they swiftly couriered my lost passport from Petropolis to Rio, showcasing excellent service. However, a few aspects, like the lack of an apology for not turning on the sauna and the need for a bit of decoration in the rooms, held it back from being a perfect experience.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had beautiful painted wallpaper, but the lighting wasn't very attractive. It could use a bit more sprucing up and decoration.

The staff went above and beyond when they quickly sent my lost passport from Petropolis to Rio. They were friendly and really appreciated my stay, but I wish they had offered an apology for not turning on the sauna.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is perfectly located in the heart of Petropolis. My room was spacious and comfortable, although it could use a bit more attention to cleanliness. The staff were incredibly attentive and even went out of their way to help me retrieve a lost passport, which was much appreciated. However, late-night noise was a bit disruptive to my sleep. Overall, it's a great option for exploring the area, especially considering the value for money.
