Hotel Acta Moa- New Opening
The room was spotlessly clean, the staff was welcoming and helpful. The only complaint was the airplane noise, don't know if they are over a flight path, but very negligible since great bed to sleep on!!!

Locke de Santa Joana
Excellent, friendly staff. Check in was a breeze. They made us feel at home. The rooms, though, are small, but homey. The grounds and buildings were formerly a convent. There may be nun ghosts (seriously). They like to slap stuff around sometines. We tried all of the hotel's food and bar options. ...

Clean and well furnished room. We had a few glitches with the TV, phone and the bathroom but the staff and management fixed it for us. Overall a very pleasant stay at a convenient location steps away from the metro.
