The hotel is conveniently located in the center of São Paulo, just a couple of blocks from Republic Square. While the rooms were clean and recently refurbished, I found the lack of heating to be a bit uncomfortable during the stay. The service was friendly and the staff did their best to accommodate guests, but it was quite slow. Overall, it's a decent place for the price, but improvements in service speed and room comfort would enhance the experience.
