Pousada Leprechaun

We booked for two people. At arrival, a man called Miguel, who said he was the owner, took us to the room. He smelled strongly of alcohol and cigarettes and seemed unsteady on his feet. He handed us the keys and a gate remote. The room was dirty and smelled musty. There was hair in the shower, the towels were stiff, and the bedding smelled bad. There's no real reception service: someone gives you the key, takes payment, then disappears. The 200 reais we were charged didn't match the stay. Breakfast was just as bad. The table was dirty, the cold cuts were black and old, and the bread was from the day before. The same man blew his nose in the sink used for breakfast. It felt completely disrespectful. We won't return, and I can't recommend the place, even for someone on a tight budget.

The location is convenient, close to the city center, but many other things fell short. The owner, Miguel, was often drinking and smoking, and spat near the guests. Breakfast was left haphazardly on the table, and there was even a cat on it. I couldn't tell whether it was meant to be breakfast or just a mess. They charged 180 reais a night, which felt far too expensive for the city. The apartment wasn't cleaned regularly, only when a woman came every three days. At that price, they could at least have changed the towels, or told guests there was no daily cleaning. I don't recommend staying here. There are more affordable places near Ivoti.

My father traveled from Caxias to Ivoti and stayed here. He really enjoyed it. He found the service great, and thought Mr. Miguel was a very kind person. The rooms were spacious, lovely, well equipped, and good value for money. He also liked the breakfast a lot. He's sure to come back many more times. God bless you all!

The owner was very friendly, but the room wasn't very clean, and its door wouldn't lock with the key. Breakfast could've been better.
