The hotel is basic and reasonably clean which suited my needs initially. However I had a few separate bookings because I was travelling while in South America and using Sao Paulo as a base. I wanted to leave my main luggage at the hotel during my other trips, but was told that no luggage storage was available. Furthermore the staff either could not speak English or if they did, their English was limited. I was very surprised by this considering the location and also with my visit shortly preceeding the world cup. As the title of my review indictates, if you don´t speak English, try elsewhere. In my case, I made alternative arrangements. If you get hit with the language barrier, I suggest using the computer near the reception and use a translation website to help out.
