Top São José Hotel Reviews

Rede Andrade Onda Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, clean rooms, good value."

Haus Smart Living Recife

8/10 Good

"Liked: very clean, having a kitchen, good safe location, access to bus and public bike nearby. Nice rooftop terrace and very good prices. Self check in with code via WhatsApp. Drip coffee maker. Disliked: no hair dryer, no frying pan. Pots and pans supplied are very cheap quality. Only 2 pillows on a large bed. Suitable for short stays. I was happy overall even though I really needed a hair dryer!"
