Boa localização, péssimo chuveiro.

Hotel antigo, muito bem localizado. O ponto fraco é o chuveiro elétrico, pois sai pouca água e não esquenta bem.

O Hotel São Paulo, mesmo tendo um aspecto de não modernidade, me surpreendeu positivamente. A equipe da recepção foi super atenciosa, dando dicas do que fazer a noite. Ficamos em um quarto super confortável e silencioso. E o café da manhã, era sempre reposto pela equipe do hotel. Recomendo facilmente!

Ótima localização com bom custo benefício

O hotel é antigo e está sob reformas. Excelente localização, próximo à praca Getúlio Vargas, facil acesso à Praça do Suspiro e teleférico. Staff simpática. Café da manhã com boa variedade. Não tem elevador no hotel, que possuí 3 andares. Como pontos para melhoria, o ventilador do quarto é lento,e o colchão e travesseiro poderiam ser mais confortáveis

Boa opção em Nova Friburgo

O hotel fica em um prédio antigo, sem elevador e com móveis “clássicos” (para não dizer velhos). A TV tem imagem ruim. O café da manhã é básico, com opções de pães e bolos. A localização é boa, no centro de Nova Friburgo
