Hotel Ocean Imperium

It’s a safe, calm place, and especially quiet since it’s on a dead-end street. The inn itself is trying to get the street opened, though, so it may not stay that way. That’s a shame, since peace and quiet are what 99% of guests are looking for.

The hotel is new and very good, and Sra Maria at reception is super attentive. The cleanliness gets a 10. Breakfast is decent, just the basics. The one issue is that they charge per person, which makes it really, really expensive. That’s especially true because it’s far from snack bars, restaurants, and markets. They should charge one rate for the first person, then add a portion for the second, like other places do.

The included breakfast is great, and the place is simple but nice. The stay was pleasant. If you want to be close to Natal or Ponta Negra, you might want to find a hotel nearer to them. The downside may be that the staff seem unprepared, and some facilities are missing, such as a restaurant.

I wouldn’t wish a hotel like this on anyone. They take advantage of workers, string you along, and then don’t pay you. The bathrooms aren’t properly cleaned either, just wiped with a filthy cloth each time. The owner is unbearable and rude. Their restaurant never has customers, and they really don’t know how to welcome people properly. I may sound upset, and I probably am.
