The small triple and double rooms downstairs, with bunk beds, were so horrible I refused to stay a 2nd night. If I'd arrived earlier, I wouldn't have even stayed the first night. Honestly, it was dreadful. Insects, AC not working properly and was tiny / floor-anchored so wouldn't reach the top bunk. Teh sheets were not quality, the bathroom was... more

A colonial mansion in central Olinda, within walking distance of all worthwhile sights. The building and rooms are a little tired but the very helpful staff more than make up for this. Service is far better than many 5* hotels in Brazil and most staff speak passable to good English which is rare in this part of Brazil. Good pool,... more

This pousada is set in an old mansion dating probably from the early 20th century. It has a spacious patio with a grand flight of steps leading up to the reception area and one can easily imagine the elegant parties that took place in the tropical nights. Thanks to Karina for her efficient and helpful service at the desk. Some... more

Pousada dos Quatro Cantos was the perfect relaxing place to stay and without doubt one of the best places we stayed whilst travelling around Brazil. The pousada is an old colonial house which has been tastefully converted to a hotel. On arrival, we were given a lovely cocktail and then shown to our room which had wooden floorboards and tonnes... more

This hotel is amazing. The building, the room, the service, the food, the owner were all incredible. more

I cannot recommend the Pousada dos Quatro (no "s") Cantos too highly. It is set in a colonial-era mansion in the centre of Olinda's old town. As far as facilities go, it is the equivalent of a European 3* hotel. A nice double room with air-con can be had for less than R$200 (around 80 euros). The accommodation is well-furnished... more

Overall a good choice for Olinda. The converted Pousada itself is a beautiful building with an outside courtyard with a nice tree/gardens and a small (but nice) pool area. The staff are very helpful in recommending places to go/restaurants. I would recommend hiring an english speaking guide to give you a guided tour of the city. Apart from the main... more

The good: The posada is in a good location and across from art galleries. They have friendly bilingual staff. The breakfast is very good. The bad: The bed was hard and uncomfortable. This posada has hardwood floors throughout the house. Needless to say, the noise level was very loud and disturbing. So, be ready to be woken up by walking,... more

I highly recommend a stay at the Pousada dos Quatro Cantos. The Pousada is located in an absolutely exquisite converted old mansion, with amazing architectural details and views. The staff is exceedingly friendly and helpful-- Sheila at the front desk is in particular very gracious, and was quite efficient in assisting us with trips and tour advice. The rooms are... more
