NewCiti Itaim by Charlie

Aging. Clean. Nice staff. Weird check-in

Meu amigo e eu nos hospedamos por duas noites no apartamento 194 e adoramos, mesmo que ele seja mais antigo por dentro. A localização foi perfeita para nós. Apenas uma observação: o apartamento possui um cofre, mas ele estava trancado. Quando liguei para a recepção, fui informado de que os hóspedes não têm acesso ao cofre.

I have had the same towel and sheets for a week and they willingly change them if I pay them with a Brazilian credit card that I do not have this is disgusting.

Nice neighborhood

All the apts are old, extremely basic, laundry was impossible to figure it out . Cable TV not working . Not a pleasant stay apart for the location

This was my second time staying at this location. I stayed twice (and will probably stay again) because the building is very close to where I need to be in Sao Paulo, the price is right, and the units have the most important items that I need when I am in Sao Paulo. This is however not a hotel. It doesn't have a front office, you can't ask for extra towels or pillows, there is no one to help you with luggage, etc... which is ok if you know ahead of time this is not a hotel. What I don't like is that all communicatios with "Charlie" are AI assisted and through an app. The check-in process is also through an app and it is not simple. You need to submit documentation before arrival to avoid delays getting into the room.

Ok

Location, location, location. Nice place

Problemas de barulho, obra sendo feita no momento da estadia, vazamento no piso do quarto. Flat precisa de manutenção.

Great area, the apartment is nice. Kitchen is not equipped enough for being an apartment (ex. no microwave).

This has been my home for over 22 years so I seen the changes and where it presently at. Location is excellent, glad to see some of old staff from teenagers to adults like Manuel, missed the old restaurant but super glad the deck is reopen for smokers. If you want to live like a Paulista stay here. Staff is patient for non speaking Portuguese guests such as myself. You get the vibes and feel of Itiam being three easy walkable blocks from the bars restaurants grocery stores etc. My flight got cancelled United Airlines put me up at a 5 star Pullman Hotel- very nice but too corporate and catering to tourist high rollers. It’s all business. If you prefer the tourist route go to Pullman Emiliano etc, it’s simple here at Citi-Flats like how the locals live. Shower pressure strong, refrigerator works, room temp controls good, toilet a little tricky sometimes flush twice. TV normal had to ask Manuel to show me how again. Walls a bit thin hear your neighbors talk or their cellphones ringing- construction repaving the driveway noise but that’s real city life. Cleaning staff always friendly and helpful especially when I get up super late. For 59 USD per night a hard deal price wise to beat. Miss the free breakfast when it was a Ramada but Mr Baker half a block up for eggs and açaí!! For me it’s my home away from home for 22 years.

Good accommodations but poor customer service. There is no one on-site who can make changes to the reservation or answer questions about the reservation. Check in is automated via an app, which can be convenient, until you need to talk to someone. Frustrating.

I highly recommend this place. It is in an excellent location with many restaurants, shops, and supermarkets nearby. The communication was clear and the staff was extremely friendly. The apartment was well equipped, clean, and comfortable.

Only had 2 pillows not enough for 2, as any hotel it should have more pillows available. Didn't have an extra blanket, the kitchen very limited no stove only microwave and a very small bar fridge. AC old, very noisy and the bathroom although clean, due for renovation

Excellent option for the price. Location at the heart of the Itaim Bibi, the best place to be in São Paulo. Communication only via WhatsApp is very annoying. No option to speak over the phone with Charlie, who is the property manager. This is the only big negative. Safes at the rooms don't work

La cocina no estaba equipada, solo tenia una heladera pequeña, platos y vasos, no habia ni donde calentar agua. La TV muy pequeña y no tenia opcion smart TV. La zona excelente, habian muchos lugares para ir a comer y bastante seguro. La recepción muy amigables.

Check in and wife are terrible. Wifi is nearly non existing. Check in is To be done on line, but only Brazilians are able to do it: language, documents, numbers required, and channel. It took me 45 min to manage through messages to a person to get my check in done.

Excellent choice for the price. Best location in São Paulo at the Itaim Bibi area. Safe, best shopping, eating and entertainment options

Great location, close to everything, great service by Gabriel at the reception.

Great location, with grocery, restaurants and coffee shop around. Secure building with helpful staff at the desk. Pre-paid laundry was useful. The apartment is excellent, very comfortable bed and spacious living room, all super clean. The wifi was unstable though, the speed was good but sometimes it would drop unexpectedly, very annoying if you are working or in the middle of a call, and it would take a few seconds or up to a minute to come back. The communication via Whatsapp was very efficient. Almost everything was great and if they improve the internet I would definitely stay here again.
