Ibis Styles Hotels in Sao Paulo

Overall, I thought this hotel was good value for money. It seemed fairly new, the rooms were well maintained and the staff were kind. There was a small gym. The breakfast could have had more options but was fine. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi did not work at all during our entire 2-night stay. It was down in the hotel. I believe it was fixed after we checked out. The staff were apologetic but could not do anything about this and did not offer any sort of compensation.

Clean, comfortable, most importantly, the front desk and restaurant waiters have English, the front desk and restaurant waiters have English, the front desk and restaurant waiters have English, the important things say three times, if you don't speak Portuguese, it is basically difficult to walk.

My wife and I arrived at the hotel close to 7pm and parked our car in the parking lot under the building. There's a cost for non-guest of R$50 for a 12-hour period and R$40 for guests. The check-in was somewhat fast, but the price was different from the reservation I made through Booking. I ended up not questioning it because it was already late and I was tired from my trip. Check-in made, we headed to our room. During the reservation, I mentioned to the hotel staff that my wife and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary that month, and we were greeted to a small gift and a thoughtful letter, which was a heartwarming touch. The room is small and contains the double bed, a small table with a couple of chairs, a small fridge (empty) and a small closed to keep our clothes. The bathroom is small but very functional, however it took some time to get hot water in the shower. I had to leave the water running for a solid 2 minutes before the water was warm enough to take a shower. There were only bath towels and no hand towels, which wasn't really a problem, albeit unusual. The breakfast is simply amazing! There's a Peruvian restaurant annexed to the hotel, and I couldn't stop eating all the delicious pastries that were available. There's no lack of options, even for picky eaters like myself. There's a small outdoors space that's really pleasant to stay during the meal. The nice decor adds to the experience. We checked out the next day, with no bad surprises. Overall, it's well located, close to malls and parks, and the traffic around the hotel was somewhat easy, probably due to the period of the year (early January).

I first booked this reservation for 3 days, just to attend the Anime Friends event near there. But I changed my plan and stayed for one week, so I could visit some parents and attend the São Paulo soccer team game. I will divide my opinions into topics. The staff: Was very kind and helped me with all my requests. I just felt the staff in the restaurant was overloaded with breakfast and dinner time. The cleaning staff did a great job, they cleaned my room every day. The menu/food: Simple. They don't have a lot of options on the menu for the launch and dinner time. For breakfast, I think it could have more options, like Brazilian savories (coxinha, pão de queijo, pasteis). The room: Loved it. It's big and beautiful. It has light switches and power plugs all over the place, it'd be great if they have 220v in the power plugs, but luckily my equipment has dual voltage. The bed is very comfortable. The shower in the bathroom is great, too! But could have a soap there. Location: This is one of the best locations you can have in São Paulo. Near the Portuguesa-Tietê metro station, which you access from there almost every place in the city, 30-40 minutes by car from the airport and 10 minutes by car from a mall. My only bad experience was in one night due to a little ”party” that the room next to mine was throwing. They were talking loudly and punched the wall sometimes, was a pain to sleep that night. Overall, is a great place to stay. I sure want to come back more times in the future.
