Hotel Saveiro

The hotel is well located in the most touristic part of Recife, 200 m away from the beach. The rooms are ok and the staff is friendly and helpful, but nobody speaks any other language than Portuguese. After complaining about not having hot water at the shower (in Brazil almost all the hotels use an instant heater) we got another room. We checked the hot water and accepted it. It was only 10 minutes after that we realize that, since this room was on the last floor the water pressure was very low. This wouldn't have been a big issue but it determined the instant heater to offer us only two options: very cold and very hot water. We could have asked to change it again, but we decided that Scottish showers might be an interesting experience. :) The breakfast offered was a very bad joke. Not only because it was poor, but also because we found there, day after day exactly the same food (which after a while got hard like the wood) and the same fruits (which after a while got strange colours). The "fruit juices" they offer are completely not drinkable... probably also because of their age.

Everything about this place is average, nothing special, but not horrible either. The rooms are OK, with AC. The beds are small and hard and there isnt hot water to speak of. The common areas are run down. The breakfast was just OK. The location is probably the best part, near the beach. All in all, I would probably look elsewhere for the price.
