Hotel 3-Star di Pernambuco, Brazil

Fairly reliable Brazilian chain. Good breakfast. Comfortable rooms. A few minutes walk to Boa Viagem beach.

The Vela Branca hotel, part of the Andrade chain, offers good value for money, but some important aspects need to be improved. The apartments are cleaned satisfactorily, but the outdoor areas leave something to be desired (see photos attached). The building's security is another aspect that needs to be improved, because many homeless people hang out around the hotel, but there is no security professional in the vicinity or at the reception, which makes guests feel insecure and afraid.

Allure boa viagem is a great place to stay. I really appreciated that the apartment is fully equipped and very clean. As I was doing home office for two days, I was really happy with the WiFi connection. In the apartment and there is even a lovely co-working space next to the reception. I really recommend. It is a little long to go to the beach but I was not bothered to walk for 20 minutes. The shopping Recife is very closed.

A beautiful, if a little basic room perfectly in sync with the islands esthetics. Nice team that had their struggle with us not speaking much Portuguese but together we made it work. They were very patient with us and helpful. The location is close to a supermarket and in relative proximity to the village center. To the next beaches it is a bit, but to Praia do Conceciao it is walkable. Or just take the taxis here.

The room hygiene is the best I have traveled to Brazil so far, the dinner is very good, the price is reasonable, and the music is very pleasant. When I finally left the hotel, the hotel said that the airport was free, but the driver had to give me money. I didn't have change at the time and didn't give it. He was very unhappy. I hope to talk to the taxi company in the future to avoid misunderstanding.

If you are looking for a place beachfront this is the right hotel. Choose for deluxe rooms because the standards are not pleasant. A part of the old installations? The staffs are cordial. A special mention for Anderson and Stefan’s (front desk) and Nathalie (pool bar), they are welcoming and very professionals.

I stayed here for the rest of the night after my 3am flight arrival in REC, almost as close as an airport hotel but much nicer! 24h check-in, very nice breakfast buffet 6-10 am (included in room rate), and a wonderful sea view (sun rise!) were perfect. Room, bathroom were very good value for money.

The hotel is well located in the neighborhood and has paid parking. The breakfast is adequate for some, but the cleaning is lacking. It is only cleaned as far as the eye can see. Behind the beds you can see the real thing, including trash and remains from previous guests. Another addendum is the comfort of the room. If you plan on staying in the room part of the time during your trip, forget it. The TV only has 2 channels, no subtitles for the hearing impaired, and it is not a smart TV, which must be out of this world for this hotel.

For the low price of the hotel, and given the great location for exploring historical Recife, this hotel is not bad. It's old, and it looks like maintenance is not a priority. Really the only thing I didn't like was the bed was saggy. Breakfast was OK.

The location is good. We could.walk to the beach of Boa Viagem, but we are also on walking distance of a large shopping center a lot of restaurants. Most impressive is the service. The staff goes above and beyond to assist you with all kinds of personal issues.
