First, a quick warning - although on Sol Melia's website, the hotel is called Tryp Guarulhos, and that is the name that appears on the booking confirmation, the hotel is actually known as the Melia Confort Guarulhos... can be confusing for drivers who don't know the area too well. However the hotel is easy to find and being a very tall building, it is something of a landmark.

Having found the hotel though, I have only good things to say - it is a beautiful new property, deluxe standard rooms, and a great place to stay. It is a short walk (up a steep hill) from downtown Guarulhos, shopping, and restaurants. I had a room on the 21st floor (the hotel has 28 floors) with a fantastic view.

Acceptable breakfast was included in the price, and the shuttle service to the airport (every hour, R$3.00 - about US$1.50) was efficient.

Most amazing feature was the value - booking online at Sol Melia's website, the rate I paid was unbelievably low - check their website for current rates.

I will not hesitate to stay at this hotel again.
