Onda Mar says it is 4 stars, but don't belevieve it. It is 2 stars or 3 minus.||||It is a big building with a good structure, but very, very dirty.||||Floors haven't seen water for months I believe. It is simply unbelievable how dirty the elevators are. The carpets are so dirty that you hardly see the carpets.||||Rooms are are very badly cleaned. It seems the maid spends about 3 minutes to do all the work...||||The windows in the rooms and other areas haven't been washed for years, for sure.||||The restaurant floor is always dirty.||||Air-con was very noisy and did not work well. TV did not work well. The bed is uncomfortable, sheets are old, towels are old. ||||Do you want know what I think? Onda Mar Hotel is onde of those hotels that could be easily much better and acceptable, but hasn't received maintenance and nowadays doesn't receive minimum and simple cares, like cleaning.||||Front desk staff is slow and not very professional.||||Breakfast is surprisingly nice and tasty, but how can you trust it and be tranquil is the hotel is so dirty?||||Location is very good (2 blocks from a nice area on the beach) and near the nicest mall in Recife, as well as good restaurants.||||Conclusion: only stay at Onda Mar if you get a really low rate. I paid 114 reais for two persons (48 reais), which is cheap for the area. I should have imagined the risk. For 50% more, you can stay in much better hotels in...
Read moreI was in this hotel on the night of september 30, 2013. During checking in I asked for a quiet place. They assigned me room # 416.

This time the shower box was somewhat larger, at least you could move yourself around a little. But: it was smelly, the matress was hard as a rock and extremely noisy (noise come from cars, air conditioners from the hotel and surrounding buildings AND from a power generator!! The restaurant is good if you like big portions and do not care much about the appearance. Breakfast is the usual and plenty. I was supposed to stay for 05 nights. Could...
Read moreGood location but that’s about it. I stayed in this hotel when I was 19 years old. In the late 1990s . Nothing has changed. Although I felt like being teleported into 1997 it’s just sad to see how nothing was working at all. Everything was kind of dirty and rusted away. They had a safety box but as I was told none of them were working. Duuuhh. After one night the GM was nice enough to offer me a free transfer to another , much better hotel of the Rede Andrade chain. 5 Stars for Eduardo for this . Nonetheless I thought it was very, very sad to see a once nice place having deteriorated that much. |The pool has a nice view, the hotel is like 400 m from the beach.|Recife is a nice city with nice people but their hotels are stuck in 1990.|Well …....
