When I arrived in Sao Paulo I thought after a 12 hr flight we deserved a decent few nights before we started our road trip, this hotel was the ideal choice. I wont bother with the ins and outs as the website does not lie and the pictures are totally acurate. The views over the city are stunning and the... more

I really liked this place and this it is a steal for what I paid ($110/night). Good service, nice spacious rooms, good location near Avenida Paulista and the surrounding area, close to the metro. Rooms do have the 70s feel but they are very clean, large (pretty big now that I think about it - had a big queen-sized bed... more

We stayed at the Maskoud for just one night on our way to Santos to meet a cruiseship. it was marvelous, clean, quiet and we considered it a gem. The staff & specially the front dest manager was a charm, very helpful with local information. There was some negative things said on the Hotels.com website, but we experienced nothing but... more

Stayed there for one night and got a good impression. Apparently, this is an ex top hotel. Today, it is a bit run down but the rooms are still an excellent value. Extremely impressive lobby too. more

Located in business district very close to Paulista Av. and walking distance to Tianon and Brigadiera metro. This is mainly business area, not very touristy but has few good restaurants serving delicious food. Metro is very good so getting to the centre (Se, Republica) will get you there in 10min. Rooms are nice, spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hotel is... more

I chose this hotel based on my internet research, and my desire to stay in the Jardins area of Sao Paulo. I also had a great package deal through the website where I purchased the trip. It is a hi-rise, and from my 10th floor room, I had a good view out towards Avenida Paulista, which was one short block... more

We went to Sao Paulo to visit a friend and he suggested to stay at the Maksoud Plaza, but also warned us it is an expensive 5 star hotel. We are not sure if it was the time of the year we went but we got a Simplex Executive room for $150 per night. The hotel is an older 5... more

As we were looking for a place to stay in Sao Paulo, we found Maksoud Plaza. We stayed there some days in April 2007. It was described as "one of Latin America's finest and most traditional five star deluxe hotels". This turned out to be pretty far from the truth! The hotel was probably very nice when it was build,... more

Quite a good location although the hotel feels rather old and a little outdated. The restaurant and bar were disappointing - the menu was difficult to read and a little confusing. For the prices I would expect a higher standard and nicer surroundings. Concierge was great though and most helpful in assisitng us select restaurants outside of the hotel. more
