Top São José Hotel Reviews

ibis Recife Aeroporto

10/10 Excellent

"What made my stay unique was how thoughtfully the room was designed for three people. The space was very well arranged, making it comfortable and functional without feeling crowded. Having two bathrooms was a huge convenience and made our stay even more enjoyable. I was also very impressed with the cleanliness—the room was spotless and well maintained throughout our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I would gladly stay here again."

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!"

Rede Andrade Plaza Recife

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was a nice little menu and it was a fresh and hot. There was plenty to eat a variety of cakes, bread, meats, cheeses, egg, sausage, fruit, coffee every staff member that we had interaction with was extremely professional and nice. We had our seven month old baby with us and they had no issues with heating up our water downstairs at the reception area to make his formula. The hotel was old and in need of some repairs, but the staff made things worth the stay. The location was very good and there was some very good restaurants close by and it’s within walking distance of the US consulate. "
