Pros: you get what you pay for. good pool. cockroach in bedroom. wifi so-so. breakfast not great

Pros: The staff were really helpful and friendly, spoke English and helped us organise our tours/diving. The view from the room was great and it was about a 20min walk to a beautiful beach. Nice breakfast each morning.

Pros: It's a resort hidden away very close to the centre. There are 2 exits so you can easily reach different parts of the centre. The room is big, the breakfast provides many choices and the pool area is fabulous.

Pros: Everything was amazing! Beautiful outdoor facilities, great food, friendly staff, and an excellent location! We had fun exploring Olinda and coming back to relax and cool down at the pool.

Pros: A delightful haven in the centre of the hubbub that is the old town of Olinda. A haven. Mostly charming and helpful staff.

Pros: Great location. Beautiful grounds and pool.

Pros: the location is perfect !!!

Cons: cleanness of the toilet and its conditions.

Pros: The location was good. Cute dog.

Cons: Very missleading pictures. The pool was out of use and didn't have any seating around it. The air con in the room didn't work and it was over 30 degrees at night, going outside was a relief. There was no water cooler provided like in the images, it was in a kitchen which we tried to enter to access the water and a man came out yelling and shaking his hands for us to leave the room. The water and electricity broke and turned off as soon as we switched on the shower. The wifi didn't work. The reception area was locked and we weren't greeted by staff on check in, just given a key and 0 information. I paid them as soon as I checked in and then had to ask multiple times for the change I was owed. When we asked about the wifi they just shrugged. We found the staff quite rude and in the evening when we were sitting outside the male owner/resident kept watching us. Overall a terrible stay, very uncomfortable and I wouldn't recommend.

Pros: Liked the welcome drink on arrival and the location is excellent - right in the heart of everything. Enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace. The staff were also very helpful.

Cons: The room felt a bit tired and could do with a spruce up.

Pros: We loved our stay at Pousada do Amparo. We were warmly received, generously given an upgrade to our room and offered advice on the best placed to visit in the historic centre of Olinda. We will definitely be going back.

Cons: We only stayed in the hotel for one night and therefore I cannot think of anything we didn't find agreeable.

Pros: Nice and beautiful place.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: The location in the middle of the historical center was perfect to discover the city by foot (the hop on hop off tour is really not required...)

Cons: Our old and lovely room was very nice but really clairaudient. During the night you can hear the noise of outer unite of the air conidition and the noises from the street/bars

Pros: The view and the garden. Please note that the pousada has two locations I had a room in the main building.

Cons: A very nice boutique hotel. Centrally located in the old center of Olinda

Pros: Generally clean and neat. Wonderful breakfasts! A relaxing garden & pool area. The staff are very attentive, friendly and knowledgable about Olinda and Recife as well as accessing public transportation to get around the area. I didn't need a guide book, I just talked with the staff. I would definitely stay here again.

Cons: There was a lot of dust under the bed, as well as a previous guest's shoes and some litter. Also, providing a fan for guests who didn't want to rely on air conditioning for cooling would have been a nice option. However, I did not notice nor bring these issues to the staff's attention until the end of my stay. I am confident that had I mentioned them initially, they would have addressed these accordingly.

Pros: Everything. We had a very nice room with three windows facing the street and a nice view of the Alto da Sé. They are soundproof if that’s a concern, but we loved listening to the going-ons, including the carnival band practicing one night. Breakfast was great with lots of regional offerings and the staff was superb.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Super friendly, helpful and kind staff was amazing!! The breakfast was really tasty and various. Rooms are simple but comfortable and clean! I highly recommend this beautiful old villa!

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Pros: Location couldn't have been better, on a well lit and safe feeling street. Easy walking distance to anywhere of interest.

Pros: Everything

Cons: None

Pros: The only nice part is the main house reception room.

Cons: The standard room are in a damp horrible undergraund place , the room are very run down no nice deco very basic and terrible mattress , the showar has electric wiering rip with black tape to make the water hot. The breakfast fruit is always cover with wet clenfilm instead of nice net or cover as use in many other place I been. I have ask 2 time if they could have please offer another room for the same price but they would only do that for a much hire price, with that point I found absolutely unacceptable as all I was asking were decent condition where to sleep and not on a damp room with very old terrible mattress . The swimming pool is very dirty and with lots of missing tiles , the sun bed are broken and the chears are dirty . Breakfast was ok but the coffe very weak almost water . I have to say the receptionist has tray to ask his superior but with not success

Pros: Great property, really cosy and well-kept. It feels just like at home. Breakfast is awesome. Location is great. Staff is very friendly & helpful. I Can 100% recommend it.

Cons: Not applicable.

Pros: Great breakfast and a nice Pool area!

Pros: Nice area outside, swimming pool.

Cons: The place has not much to do with a hostel. It is more of an abandoned hotel with a very bad quality rooms. Rooms without air conditioning are like oven inside; not possible to sleep, fortunately the staff agreed to change my room. The staff hardly speaks any english... The outside area is used by external guests. It may get very loud.

Pros: Nice location with great facilities including the pool and relaxation area. Also a good breakfast included.

Cons: It was very quiet at the time I stayed and felt it was more of a hotel than hostel.

Pros: Nice common areas with hammocks. Close to the old neighborhood of Olinda.

Cons: Seems like the rooms had better days. Need maintenance and paint. Bathroom door didn’t have a handle so the door will not close from the outside and so the whole room smelled bad. Nobody else was staying in the Hostel so no ambience. Extra fee to turn the AC. Nice pool but they were doing maintenance so I could not swim. Wifi was not working properly for a while and the night shift man wasn’t very helpfull about trying to fix it, but after rebooting the modem it worked. Noisy street away from convenience stores. Sketchy to walk at night with all the traffic. Not really a tour desk like they advertise it.

Pros: Friendly staff great location very close to the beach , feels safe a lots of police at the street s , I recommend And i will be back here with my family next year, thank you

Cons: I just found pillows very hard

Pros: Excellent breakfast with a huge variety; direct beach location; very good pool area

Cons: Everything ok

Pros: Location, breakfast, staff

Cons: Lifts to slow and hot no ac.

Pros: two years ago we stayed at this property and the breakfast was super, the room was good once we asked to change.

Cons: Breakfast could be better.

Pros: Location and breakfast and staff.

Cons: I have already explained above, but also the air conditioning was not working properly. Considering it is summer and extremely hot, at times it was not very pleasant.

Pros: Location

Cons: Old rooms and in need of maintenance.

Pros: breakfast

Cons: Building is very old, beds are not comfortable.

Pros: Location

Cons: Need some work on the rooms.

Pros: Great breakfast. Great ocean view.

Cons: The hotel is under renovation. Expect to wake up at 7 am to construction noise. Also on Saturdays, even though they tell you it's Monday - Friday. Generally poor sound proofing hallway / room, even without the construction. Air condition unit was noisy as well.

Pros: Great location. It is about 10 seconds walk to the beach. A bit more if you have to wait for the traffic lights. To Olinda with an Uber about 30-40 minutes and I can recommend Olinda. To old town is 20-30 minutes by Uber. About an hour to Porto de Galinghas by Uber. Staff at reception is friendly and speak English well. There is a big shopping mall at about 10 minutes walk including a large food court. There is a supermarket with international ATM at 5 minutes walk. I felt safe at the area of the hotel also in the evening. Breakfast is ok. Room is very large/spacy. Lots of space. There is a nice swimming pool and terrace. There is a large fridge in the room. Menu in the restaurant is available in English. There are some nightclubs in the area of the hotel, unfortunately I did not find any pubs near the hotel.

Cons: Large hotels like this one have enough resources to really make something excellent of it. So I always have a bit more critics at such hotels especially because you often pay a premium price. -Toilet was cloaking during all my stay. Cleaning staff must have seen it. It was not fixed during my stay I had the problem every day. -Bathroom is outdated really needs renovation. Everything is old in the bathroom. -Room did not feel really clean (walls/chairs) -window is not soundproof noises from outside come in regularly same as from the hallway. -Often lines at the lift system. A/C can only be set at pre set values. Check-in procedure can take a while.

Pros: Large rooms and great location

Cons: Breakfast could be better Towels are in bad shape

Pros: I loved the staff, very professional and they go above and beyond to make you comfortable. The facilities are quite good! The breakfast is lovely. Wish they had more traditional foods like: cassava, cuzcuz and things like that.

Cons: Outlets far away from bed

Pros: The food was good. Though dinner was slow, I can’t remember having a better piece of salmon. The room was well cleaned and the staff was very helpful.

Cons: The room is a bit smaller than it appears in the pictures. Though no one said it would be safe to do, we were warned against walking the streets at night.

Pros: Satisfactory

Pros: It’s close to the airport and the Boa viagem beach.

Cons: I used to like it better in my prior visits... I think it used to be a five star hotel in the past, but now the building is pretty old.. staff doesn’t make much effort to help the guests. Called to ask for one more towel which never came, asked to do one simple substitution in my meal order and it was not allowed... in addition to that it’s not the first time that I noticed that the hot water is turned off during the day and turned on at night.

Pros: Friendly staff, nice breakfast, good location

Cons: Construction during the day was very loud next to my room - made it difficult to take a nap (I'm adjusting to the time zone change).

Pros: breakfast

Cons: nothing

Cons: The self service could have had more options for food!
