Hotel Brasil Express

The location works well, close to the beach. It's a decent place to rest, though the rooms are small and the beds are single.

Really good.

Just okay.

The room was clean, well air-conditioned and had good Wi-Fi, and the breakfast was very good. Still, this is a low-cost place best suited to sleeping, with the beach nearby and few frills. Breakfast is served at another hotel in the same group, about 50 metres away, which could be unpleasant in the rain. I happened to have good weather. The parking is outsourced: you leave the car in front of the other hotel, go back to yours to ask for the valet, and then walk over again to collect it. They say it takes 5-10 minutes, but we waited more than 20. That can be a serious difficulty for families with autistic children or anyone who struggles with a long wait. The building is old and has several shortcomings. There’s no mini-fridge, wardrobe or side table. The mattress was very worn, the sink and shower stall were small, the electric shower was a basic summer/winter model, and the toilet leaked. It’s not suitable if you need accessible facilities: there’s no elevator, and even the reception on the second floor requires climbing stairs. Staff seemed to be trying hard but looked overworked. We saw two employees arguing with a guest, and I spoke to one worker who had been on the job for more than 12 hours and was visibly tired and irritated. For people focused on price and location, it may do, but the facilities and service organization need work.
