DELPLAZA Excelsior São Paulo - By Monreale

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Good breakfast."

Hotel Nacional Inn Jaragua São Paulo

10/10 Excellent

"I had a very enjoyable stay with no problems. It was difficult to fit the luggage cart in the elevator but otherwise everything was great. I was disappointed to find that the laundry wasnt a facility but rather was a service so I couldn't do laundry at my leisure. But there was a lavenderia nearby so it worked out alright. It was noisy from traffic during the world cup match especially but I plan to stay again."

Rojas All Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nos encantó el hotel. Todo el personal muy amable, el desayuno muy rico. El cappuccino y el chocolate del desayuno es el final. Muy bueno. Lo único es que en la habitación que nos toco hacia mucho frío, sin embargo en recepción gentilmente nos dieron mas colchas. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Volvería! Lo recomiendo. Esta relativamente cerca de todo."
