Tia Hotel

Fine if all you need is somewhere to sleep, but I wouldn’t stay for long. There are rooms with private bathrooms and options for one or two beds, but no kitchen at all. The doors open onto a central area with no ceiling, as shown in the picture.

Nice room, and the location is good.

The night staff were especially helpful and kind, and receptionist Jonathan and his manager gave excellent service. They were attentive and willing to help us with important things and local questions. Our family got a warm welcome from the moment we arrived. We highly recommend the hotel to other Brazilians and will definitely be back.

The most comfortable things were the beds and the cleaning service. There are some seating spots, with comfy armchairs at the entrance and an upstairs terrace or balcony area with hammocks, benches and tables, plus lounge chairs. The room had a TV, air conditioning, a mini-fridge, and a private bathroom with a shower and bidet. I didn’t like the fixed overhead shower, since there was no grab bar or anything to hold. The double bed made a lot of noise whenever you moved, and the bunk bed had no ladder, so it would be very hard for small kids to climb into or out of the top bunk. The online listing mentioned a shared kitchen but didn’t say it was only for heating water. You can heat water for mate and use the microwave, but cooking sends smells through the vents and could bother other guests. The dining room stays locked, so you have to ask the receptionist to open it, and she keeps watching you eat or sits around the corner. They used to provide breakfast, but don’t anymore.
