Hotels near Oswaldo Cruz Square

"It is quite astonishing that this establishment has received such a high volume of favorable evaluations. The state of cleanliness was unsatisfactory, and the room was permeated with a musty odor, which was subsequently determined to be the result of a ceiling leak that had saturated a pillow that had been placed in the wardrobe. Although breakfast was included in the room rate, the caliber of the food left much to be desired. While some members of the staff were cordial, others did not exactly make us feel particularly welcome during our stay. We have no intention of staying at this establishment again in the future."

"Lovely! Staff wonderful! We have rebooked!"

"The hotel is at the centre of the town. Perhaps an option for an overnight stay. Medium breakfast but ok given the price. Air conditioning in my room was rather basic, did not help much, felt the heat. Staff did not speak English but given that Ubatuba is generally a holiday destination for ‘Paulistas’, Sao Paolo residents, that is understandable so get prepared, at least with basic Portuguese. However, even with my some Portuguese receptionists were not that much helpful, could not help to understand the taxi system in the town, saying it was complicated and expensive although eventually I simply figured everything out through a well known application, it works there. Asked about tourism spots and again no information except for an advise to see the beaches. Asked about bus stations and regrettably, they did not know which one is where. Be aware there are several bus stations (“rodoviarias”) in the town; triple check from which your bus departs if you are traveling by bus. All in all, the hotel is not well prepared, at least in my view, for overseas tourists. Again this is a place primarily for ‘Paulistas’, Sao Paolo residents. If one have right expectations the hotel might be then fine. It is not that bad after all and I wish the hotel and the team well. "
