As a crew member for a mayor airline, we stay at different hotels around the world, I would say my stay at the Maksoud was just wonderful. All the personal try to make your stay an enjoyable one with out any effort. Had a corner room it was spacious and clean, furniture hasn't been changed for some time but have... More

The people who reviewed this hotel and called it dated have missed the point. Indeed this hotel looks like something out of the 50's but that is completely on purpose and absolutely charming. I was afraid to stay here having had a bad experience in SP before with a lastminute hotel. However i have to say that this hotel is... More

As a airline crew member I experience many hotels around the world. Some better than others, Although I agree the Maksoud Plaza could use a few upgrades like having coffee makers in room. I was delighted with this place, from the moment I walked in the entire staff was very prompt and attentive, smiles at every corner. The location is... More

This location is the best, convenient to the business center of Sao Paulo.....only one block away.The staff here could not be nicer. Every employee I encountered had a nice command of the English language, which can not be said for other similarly nice hotels in the city. I know because I visit Sao Paulo on business 3 to 4 times... More

So maybe this place is some sort of local institution and had some sort of stately elegance circa 1980....with that said, it is the equivalent of a Sony Walkman when comparing to an Ipod nowadays. I stayed here for only one night and then switched hotels. Sure it is clean, the location pretty good and the staff is nice enough... More

The hotel looks it is was created in the 70's and is stuck there. The furniture, decor, layout of the restaurant, etc. are a through back to 30+ years ago. Customer service is poor and I can honestly say, during my 10 day stay, I never saw one member of staff smile, whether it was the receptionists, room service or... More

I don’t have a choice… But if you do… AVOID! Well at least if you go be sure not to anticipate a 5***** Hotel. Maksoud Hotel is well far away from 5 star. It might have been a 5 star some 35-40 years ago, not anymore. The décor is typically 70’s, even 60’s Common areas are dull and looking very... More

The room was like walking into a 1950's set. Very well kept, lovely modern wooden furniture, nice colour palette, great view. The lobby is not so great: rude staff, lazy concierge, horrible ads, not a single chair or sofa to seat! The fisrt impression is not nice, it seems like it was a great hotel 40 years ago. But then,... More

I was very pleasantly surprised by the Maksoud Plaza, in light of some of the reviews on TripAdvisor. I had tried to book at the Unique and the Marriott, but they had nothing available, so Maksoud was my third or fourth choice. But I was very happy with it. The staff was very helpful, the location is good, the room... More
