Contrary to some of the other reviews, the rooms have recently been re-furbished or at least in the block I stayed in, on the right side of the hotel. Only complaints would be the noisy fridge and nasty view of wrecked buildings. The buffet breakfast, lunch-time buffet grill and 24-hour bar and restaurant are all very good, but expensive. The...

I just spent 5 nights at the Plaza Sao Rafael. The hotel and rooms are a bit dated but the location is great for exploring central Porto Alegre, which has quite a few historic buildings. The hotel staff are extremely accommodating as well.

I stayed 2 nights at this hotel for business. The staff team is great, efficient and helpful. It is a good hotel, no doubts, but has old rooms: the pipes of the shower were very noisy, as well the air conditioning; the carpet was not smelling well; and the room had a little overpast style.

This is a traditional hotel in the city. It offers nice views to the Guaiba River. The rooms are nice, but a in old style. The staff are great and they have very nice breakfast. The location, downtown, is not that great and can be unsafe. You want to stay in a high floor room to enjoy the views. One... More

While the hotel itself is located in a bad area (be sure to travel by taxi anytime when the sun has gone down), it has a nice toucy of the "good old times"....in case you donot care about this, you might as well look for a different place and/or area....Personally i prefer the Molinhos de Vientos area alot more.

The hotel is located downtown, old and scary part of the city. Rooms are outdated, furniture from the 1960's. Color Tv from last century. The worst part...a/c is noisy...the toilet flush sounds like an airplane flush. So noisy that you wake up every time your neighbours go to toilet. Room service is overpriced. Best part, an excellent breakfast. Should be... More

Staff were very friendly. We enjoyed the large rooms, even if they are quite old. Covered pool for swimming lengths on top floor. Really good breakfasts - for people who like fresh, healthy ones.

The hotel is in the old downtown section of the city, surrounded by abandoned buildings, a church, and basic commercial stores. The hotel entrance is below average for an advertised 5 star hotel, facilities are clean, and a pool and spa is available at the site. Rooms are extremely outdated, with cheap furniture and somewhat comfortable beds. The price for... More

Excellent location (downtown). Friendly staff. The room was very clean, but with old fashioned furniture. My room was in a high floor, so during the night I didn't hear any noises from the street. The price is expensive for a night in a hotel with less than four stars, but I think that's the reality in Porto Alegre.
