Mercure Sao Paulo JK

Very modest hotel, and partly very old furnishings. Definitely not a 4-star hotel. Also, the restaurant staff don’t speak any English at all. The windows have no sound-proofing to block out the heavy traffic in front of the hotel. Great location and the room size is generous.

The facilities are par for the course for a Mercure, clean and fine. Unfortunately the Internet is terrible. It isn't even possible to load up your email inbox most of the time, let alone get work done, order take-out, etc. I could not work or study simply because pages would not fully load. As I type, I am using my hotspot, which is just unacceptable in 2025. As a result, I just booked my 4 remaining nights in São Paulo at another hotel, otherwise I would have stayed. It's a real shame, because everything else was fine, but it just isn't good enough to charge this kind of rate and not have working internet.
