Excepcional!
This hotel is even better in person! The service was outstanding, the hotel is absolutely beautiful and the rooms are really comfy & well decorated. The breakfast area is stunning with animal art/paintings all over, wonderful music playing and the food was delicious and varied. They even made “sagu” for us and this wasn’t even on their menu. 10 out of 10!

Fantastic old-world elegance
We love these kinds of old-fashioned, elegant hotels - hotel & room were in excellent condition, staff was very friendly, king bed was super comfy, excellent dinner in the Leopoldina restaurant - even though nearly empty, we enjoyed dinner very much. Beautiful dining room for breakfast. Good value for the price - not cheap, but worth it. We had a "suite" which isn't a suite at all - just the biggest rooms they have. Other reviews mention that the ground floor rooms are damp & dark - I didn't look in any, but could imagine that. Rooms upstairs don't cost a lot more - it's worth it I think. There seemed a number of negative reviews on websites and my expectations were a bit low - I was pleasantly surprised at how great I thought the hotel was.

Nice place
This is a beautiful historic hotel. The grounds are nice. Breakfast was outstanding - a real highlight. Service was excellent and the staff speak engliish, which was helpful for a couple gringos like us.

Como ser ignorado mesmo solicitando
Travesseiros sem fronhas
Repositório do shampoo vazio
Duas aranhas subiram nos lençóis e quando a equipe foi agisada não trocaram os lençóis
Comida do restaurante (bacalhau) requentado não foi feito na hora
Cobrança de 10% na diária e no valor de consumação o que é um acinte

Ótima estadia e profissionais muito atenciosos.
Profissionais muito atenciosos (todos). Café da manhã excelente. O que deixa a desejar é a falta de placas indicando a entrada do Hotel, pois o trânsito em Petrópolis é muito confuso e com motoristas sempre agressivos, principalmente os das linhas de ônibus.

Ótimo Serviço e Hospedagem
A equipe do hotel é atenciosa e prestativa, sempre atendiam aos hóspedes muito bem. Durante o check-out reconheci um gasto que havia realizado no dia que entrei no hotel, porém por algum equívoco da cozinha a comanda não foi encontrada. Eu e a minha esposa queríamos pagar, com a comanda não foi localizada a atendente nos disse que ficaria como cortesia do estabelecimento e que o erro não foi nosso.
