“A lovely place run by lovely people”
The personel were all so lovely and helpful. And helped building up what this hotel is all about: a warm and welcoming place while you're exploring Ouro Oreto. Me and my partner felt seen and safe. The receptionists were very happy to recommend places and restaurants. The vibe is very chill, and for us, romantic.

“Acceptable (just), but there are far better options in the same price range”
Location was good - a short walk into the centre of Ouro Preto and, during our stay, pretty quiet (although I note others found street-facing rooms noisy - ours faced over the rear carpark). Check in staff (at least Ricardo - female staff, not so much) were initially friendly, although we were tired from a long drive and would maybe have preferred just to be shown to our room and be given tourist information later. Breakfast was adequate. WiFi worked as advertised.

“Confort for good price”
The hotel, which (as far as I know) was created from the junction of two large old houses, inside and out kept the old style, but everything looks like new, very well maintained. In the halls and corridors, pieces of art of good taste. The hotel's service is very good, with helpful staff and ready to give tips about the city. The room we stayed in is beautiful, with beautiful decor and very comfortable, small, but with a good king bed with a medium density mattress, great for resting and waking up well. In the room there are places to store suitcases and clothes, fridge and air conditioning. As we were with our daughter, we took a triple room (there was another bunk bed). It would fit, tight, up to 4 people. The bathroom has good space and luxury, hot water already in the pipe and good quality convenience items. It is difficult to park in the city. So, it is preferable to walk. Initially we found the hotel a bit far from the center (+-700m) to go walking but it wasn't. We only took 10 minutes. As we arrived by car, an important feature of the hotel was the private parking. Finally, the breakfast was good, varied, with some room for improvement.
