Top Olinda Historical Center Hotel Reviews

Kastel Manibu Recife - Boa Viagem

8/10 Good

"Close to the beach and excellent breakfast! However, the actual room is not amazing, it’s functional but pretty old and depending on your floor, there’s no lift to get straight to it. Shower is ok, not much pressure and it’s pretty noisy at night. The pool and spa areas are great and the location too."

Pousada Convento da Conceição

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice. I would stay again Consistent with being a former convent, it's simple & humble, & very clean and orderly. Nice breakfast. Wonderful location - situated at Olinda's hilltop with beautiful views of the city and water. My room had 2 twin beds & a sink (nothing more), with shared baths (very clean!) down the hallway. Know that there's still a big Catholic statue in middle of the courtyard & religious paintings around (maybe it's still owned by the church?) Receptionist 24 hours who lets you in. On street with many arts/souvenir vendors & restaurants, including Art & Grill (nice fish, but steak for one is thin & dry). Down the hill are some lively bars, & beautiful Pausada do Amparo - gorgeous hotel & also nice restaurant (modestly priced), & wonderful (but pricey!) Oficina do Sabor restaurant."

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. "
