Pousada do Careca

the hotel is old and basic but that is reflected in the price. breakfast was OK. however, the shower did not heat up. the room was very dark which makes it good for sleeping late (but we needed that as it was very loud at night). great location.

custo x beneficio:gratificante

Hotel sympa très bien situé dans le centrehistorique

Great location, lovely family, however room was very noisy. Woken up several times in the night due to sounds inside and out.

Pousada simples com bom preço/ serviço

el hotel es muy antiguo y bastante precario, esta en el casco historico pero conociendo el lugar te das cuenta que no es una buena opcin alojarse justo en el centro historico, al menos para quienes buscamos tranquilidad...enfrente al hotel hay un boliche bailable por el cual no podes dormir hasta que cierra a las 5 de la manana...todos los dias! el desayuno muy pobre, la limpieza casi mala y no tiene ningun espacio comun.

Breakfast was great - cereal, cake, cheese, ham, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juice, bread, coffee, and tea. Location is only 3 blocks to the bus station. Lots to do in the area - walk around old town, beaches nearby, tons of excursions (kayaking, hiking, etc).

This hotel goes on my list of worst place I've stayed because: - our room didn't have an air conditioner in sweltering conditions, we had a fan but it did nothing. Being outside of the room was bearable at night but inside was like an oven. We were told to keep the window open at night which is the only way to get air in, but the window leads to the corridor and stairs that all the guests walk by and can look right in. So either leave the window and breath a little with no privacy and full light from the public space outside or die of heat. We spent the nights drenched in sweat and not sleeping. - The bathroom had an open ceiling with a grate which is connected to all the other bathrooms and kitchen, so any noise coming from other rooms goes straight into yours. - All of the outlets were the new Brazilian style inside the room, to charge our phone we had to use the outlets in the public spaces. On the other hand breakfast was simple and good.

A standard paraty pousada, nice rooms if a little small. Could do with more communal space but has a roof terrace with a lovely view.

Very essential, but very cheap too. Perfect location, huge breakfast.
