The hotel was good

It was a nice place to stay. I made a mistake on my reservation and they fixed it for me. Shopping and pharmacy close by. For the price I recomend it. Not the Hilton, but good

A pousada é bonita, tem jardim e piscina muito bem cuidados, além de uma área com redes pra relaxar. Café da manhã ótimo, muita variedade de produtos e conta ainda com tapiocas feitas na hora, uma delícia. A equipe de funcionários gentil e atenciosa. O quarto estava com cheiro de limpeza quando chegamos, a cama era confortável com colchão firme, as toalhas eram grossas e estavam com cheiro de amaciante, o banheiro tinha secador de cabelo que era eficiente. O restaurante na pousada tem um cardápio variado, as refeições são saborosas, fresquinhas e bem servidas. A região da pousada é próxima ao centrinho de Olinda e é possível caminhar por ruas estreitas com casas de fachadas históricas até a Catedral da Sé de onde a vista da cidade é magnifica. Entretanto, na região eu não achei nenhum mercado e nem farmácia próximo. Dois pontos negativos que merecem atenção para melhorar: 1) o sinal do wifi não funcionava no nosso quarto. Como estávamos de férias isso não foi um problema. Mas se acaso você precise de internet para trabalhar, não será possível usá-la no quarto, apenas na recepção ou na área da piscina onde o sinal era forte; e 2) fomos acordados cedo da manhã por alguém da pousada que estava usando um cortador de grama extremamente barulhento no jardim, seria melhor cortar a grama em um horário mais tarde, quando os hóspedes já não estão mais dormindo.

De início me chatiei pois o atendimento por telefone e whatsapp não me respondeu, e ainda fiquei sozinho na ligação por 15 minutos. Porém o atendimento dentro do hotel, na recepção e nos demais espaços foram muito bom, reduzindo minha frustração inicial, no mais, hotel limpo, bonito e organizado, além da localidade que fica próximo a muitos points. Nota 4/5 de 5.

Localização muito boa, próximo ao centro historico de Olinda. Bom custo/benefício, considerando valores e condições ofertadas na região. É um prédio antigo. Bonito, mas precisa de reforma e modernização. Café da manha simples, mas muito bom.

Hotel muito bacana!

A localização da pousada é maravilhosa, muito perto do centro histórico de Olinda. O atendimento tambem é muito bom, tanto na recepção quanto no bar. A piscina é muito gostosa. O café da manhã é gostoso, oferece algumas opções de frutas, pães e comidas regionais. O único ponto a desejar é o conforto do quarto onde ficamos. A cama era muito dura e o ar condicionado bem antigo, então fazia bastante barulho. Se isso não for uma questão pra você, recomendo 100% esse hotel.
