The internet connection was CRAP; didn't work, didn't have a good coverage (I had to write or read emails from the bathroom or standing by the door) and super slow. The safety deposit boxes didn't work. Long time waiting for slow elevators The key-electricity unit in my room didn't work and I had to change rooms (after unpacking and after... More

If you have to do business near the Catete Palace, this is a very suitable place. Also good if you need to use the metro, as the nearest station (Catete) is only one block away (and from there you can get to the city centre within only two stops). Very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast wasn't fantastic but quite good,... More

We were very grateful to be able to stay for a night before embarking on a cruise as this was the night before Carnival when no other hotel wanted us. The hotel also obligingly looked aft our cases whilst we went on a 2 day trip to Iguassu. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating making it a pleasure to... More

Stayed for 8 nights during Carnival. Not the ideal location but it does have some perks. Free wi fee (didn't use it) but if you need internet use it as the business centre is expensive 15 BR for 15 minutes, when you can get internet at a cafe for 1 BR for 15 minutes. Easily walk to the Metro from... More

I stayed at this hotel as booked by our conference organizers. It is a terrible place: damp, run down, not to mention the extreme variance in the quality of rooms: from horrendous to barely adequate. A bunch of rooms have no windows, only a wooden semblance of a window behind the curtain, and guess what, you open the "window" to... More

agree with all the other recent reviews, the place is old (not dirty though) and not worth its money. it is currently underrenovation which means noise during the day, and half of the very few elevators they have are served for staff, which means you have to wait a lot. The 'free wifi' that they are offering is a joke,... More

This is a hotel that has not kept up with the times. Its name means New World. Let's see, Brazil was the New World in, what, 1502? And it must have been one of the first hotels to install the box airconditioners. I cannot remember when I last saw a hotel with such. Once you take it in that light,... More
