As soon as you step into this family-run hotel, it feels like being back in the middle of the last century. This is how tourism in Brazil has once been! The furniture, the hospitality, the music that is played - everything is old-fashioned, but in a very positive way. The rooms are very clean and offer all you need, and the furniture is in a colonial style and very well maintained. The location of the hotel is superb - in the middle of town and opposite the entrance to the "Parque das Aguas". || ||Try to have dinner here as well - it is at a very economic price! The four course dinner (soup, first course, second course as well as cheese/dessert) is offered at the rate of 22 Reais (11 US$), a caipirinha at 5 Reais (2.50 US$). The food is tasty and gets served in front of guests, while old walz music can be heard in the background. Dinner here is delicious and it's hard to beat this excellent price/service ratio!||||Threre is free WiFi available in the lobby. Furthermore, there is free guarded parking as well as free coffee all day long. ||||If you want to make sure you have a quiet night, ask for a room facing the courtyard. The rooms toward the street are brighter but can be a bit noisy at night.|| ||Caxambu is an ideal night stop if you're travelling on the Estrada Real, the colonial-era road between Paraty and Ouro Preto / Diamantina. Don't miss the Parque das Aguas, where you can drink from different mineral water sources. The water is said to have...
Read moreI stayed there during a conference. The hotel was located within 2 blocks from the conference main site, so I gave it a try. And I was quite lucky. ||||It's a family business, and the owners are there all the time to make sure you are confortable and everything is ok. This is a great deal, as they will tell you about the city, places to go and share some good time just chating. ||||The hotel is conveniently located near the water park (across the street) and it is only 10 minutes away from the bus stop. You can save some bucks and do some sightseeing while walking from the bus stop to the hotel as you get to the city. I did and I actually liked it. ||||The property is also close (too close actually) to a street with bars and shops. As I got a room facing that street I had some noise during the night that annoyed me. It was a Wednesday night and The noise lasted until 4 in the morning. Then, a bakery started its business, so I think I got something like an hour of silence. As I stayed only for the night it didn't bother me that much but it may be troublesome if you are going to spend some days there. ||||The food was great. Ihad breakfast, lunch and dinner at the hotel and i was pretty pleased. Go for the goiabada and the doce de...
Read moreO Hotel, quando da sua inauguração deve ter sido incrível. Pela arquitetura percebemos que era um hotel muito bonito e para quem busca localização, pode ser uma opção (ele está na entrada do parque). Contudo, o tempo parou e o hotel parece abandonado. As paredes estão deteriorando, mostrando os reflexos de sua construção. Os grandes corredores não possuem uma iluminação por sensor. Os quartos não foram remodelados, camas que fazem barulho, eletrônicos antigos. Os banheiros não haviam produtos de higiene pessoal. Álcool em gel só vi na recepção e em mais nenhum lugar. Passei uma noite no hotel, como era minha intenção e por isso não fiquei frustrado. O café da manhã é precário!! Apesar de ser em MG, não tinha nem pão de queijo. Se resumia em: pão de sal, pão de forma, queijo, presunto, café, um mamão e uma rosca dura. Tinham 4 jarras de sucos, sem identificação, todos num tom laranja, mas oscilando. Depois de experimentar todos, vi que eram do mesmo sabor, acredito que manga. Não deu para identificar. Por volta de 08h chegaram repondo uma manteiga porque até então não tinha. O senhor que nos recebeu e fez o atendimento foi solícito e simpático, talvez o que tenha auxiliado a pelo menos fazer com que eu dormisse no hotel. Pelo valor da diária ele não vale pelo...
