Casa dos Meninos — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Santa Bárbara - Ouro Preto

This hotel is amazing! My husband and I had a great time there. ||||When we booked it, we mentioned that it would be for our honeymoonon, so when we arrived in our room it was beautifully decorated with petals, and they also left us a cute note. ||||We stayed at the superior room # 7. The king size bed was very comfortable, and the shower was perfect, with good temperatures and plenty water! That's all we needed to enjoy our stay and relax. ||||The room's decoration was of good taste. The tv has plenty channels to watch, and the noise-canceling windows saved us from the outside noise of the holiday's festivities. ||||The location was convenient as we were close to the main square and to all the restaurants, banks, and stores.||||The breakfast was delicious! There was a variety of fruits, breads, freshly squeezed juices, cakes, and also ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, brazilian "salgadinhos", and a lot more. I woke-up everyday looking forward to have breakfast. ||||The staff was friendly and they were always willing to help. I met Fabricio, one of the owners, he was super friendly, and chatted with us every morning. ||||Thank you Fabricio and all the hotel staff! We felt like if we were home. We are definitely going to stay there again at another...

We stayed here in 2 different rooms, one larger and one smalle. The smaller room is quite small and hardkly space to store luggage etc.|The larger room was a bit better but also suffered space to store.||The welcome at the pousada was very friendly and a lot was explained, Ana Maria was very helpful.|Also her brother who owns the pousada is very friendly and helpful.||The pousada is located down the hill of the Ouro Preto centre. When you have some problems walking up, be aware of this.||Breakfast was good, but there is a downside. When all people want to have breakfast at the same time, this is impossible as the space is small.||Another drawback we experienced was that other guests used the micorwave to make chees popcorn. The smell was awful during the evening and the night. Ther owner aplogised, but guests should behave as well. WE complained but the frontdesk during the night does not speak english (and we don't speak portuguese).||The owners directed us to some good restaurants like Bene da Flauta, which is close.|For the rest all is within walking distance, but beware of walking up and down in this...

My rating is always relative to the location and my expectations. In Ouro Preto, I was just looking for a clean, safe and comfortable spot to lay down when not exploring the town. To that end, this place is spot on with friendly staff. Fabrizio, specifically is great, and if you need anything, he's your 'go to' guy. They organized my transport and helped me get oriented. Breakfast was good and their recommendations for restaurants and sights were spot on.||||||Two things to consider about Ouro Preto... 1) in general the cobble stone streets make for loud tire noise when cars and motorcycles drive by so a room with sound proof windows is essential for light sleepers (like me) and 2) the town is very hilly with steep cobble stone roads and sidewalks. If you are not in the physical shape to handle this, a hotel closer to the center is probably your best best as this Pousada is near Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Conceição at the bottom of the hill. This is great when you're headed back downhill but a killer on the way up to most of the...
