Pousada Portas da Amazônia was a nice experience in the historical area of São Luís. It was great to stay here and see the historical part of the city. The food served was good and the pousada had a lot of historical details. There are a lot of options within walking distance to eat, shop, and other activities. We loved seeing the history from the city firsthand.

My Niece and I only stayed here 1 night, old saying, "you pays your money, you takes your choice, pictures make it look grand, maybe many years ago! as for staff speaking French/English etc etc, they must have all been off. Put in a wash to be done, had to ask 4 times when it would be ready, as we were checking out, came back WET, and found out later that Traveling towel was missing. If you want cheap local. this is for you.

The property is fine, the breakfast is ok, the staff is friendly. The problem is that the pousada is on a street with no car access. The is not disclose when I make the reservation. The taxi left the guesses 2 blocks away, and this is a bad situation because we have to carry our baggage in the street. Next day we have a pickup for to go to Barreirinhas and again the problem, we have to drag our luggage 4 blocks away because no cars at the street. Never more i will stay or recommend this place.

L’hôtel est idéalement situé dans le centre historique de São Luís, dans une ancienne bâtisse pleine de charme. Cependant, l’établissement aurait besoin de quelques rénovations, aussi bien dans les chambres que dans les parties communes. la chambre était grande, mais donnait sur la rue très animée. Nous sommes arrivés un vendredi soir et nous avions vraiment l’impression que les musiciens jouaient directement dans la chambre ! Si vous souhaitez dormir paisiblement, je recommande vivement de demander une chambre côté cour, surtout le week-end. Heureusement, mes boules Quies ont fait le travail. Concernant le petit déjeuner, il était servi dans une pièce au rez-de-chaussée assez sombre, sans lumière. Au premier abord, le choix semblait varié, mais j’ai été surprise de voir que les fruits, le jambon et le fromage n’étaient pas réfrigérés sur le buffet. Café et lait étaient disponibles en thermos, avec du pain, du beurre et quelques produits chauds comme des œufs brouillés et des légumes. Je n’ai pas été particulièrement charmé par le petit déjeuner, car je ne me sentais pas totalement en confiance quant à la conservation des produits proposés. Pour une nuit étape, cela peut néanmoins faire l’affaire grâce à son emplacement pratique.

A equipe é muito atenciosa. O local é ótimo. O acesso não é tão bom, pois não é acessível a veículos tipo carro. Também há muitas escadas, limita a acessibilidade, ou seja, não é para todos. O casarão é lindo e bem cuidado, fica no centro histórico e perto de muitas atrações.

O quarto e as instalações são uma experiência a parte sendo um verdadeiro mergulho na história. O serviço de toda a equipe e o café da manhã foram ótimo e não tivemos o que reclamar. Uma sugestão: adicionar o uso de "bailarinas" no ambiente do café da manhã para espantar possiveis insetos.
