Very pleasant stay! Excellent location, 1 minute to the beach, busy area with plenty of restaurants and shops around, and 15 to 20 minutes to airport and 2 major shopping centers. The Old Town (Recife Antigo), which is a nice area for sightseeing, is also about 15 minutes drive - just a few dollars on Uber. The hotel itself is classified as 4 stars and it still has most of the features of a 4 stars hotel. They recently cut room service but dinner and coffee are available until 10pm in the restaurant near the reception. Breakfast is excellent, a mix of continental & cooked items with some local Recife cuisine. Internet was fast and stable. All the signage was in Portuguese and English, and a few of the key staff can speak some level of English. I wish I had time to enjoy more often the top-floor swimming pool, right next to a tiny gym. The service is good, nobody is very smiley, but they are efficient and courteous. I would certainly stay here again.
