"The included breakfast has enough options. Staff is very helpful. They are renovating the hotel but we did not notice any noise whatsoever. Being a 4+ star hotel the room is spacey but the looks are not that of a 4*. OveralSome restaurants and places to visit are walkable but everyone Uber I talked to said you better take a cab due to safety especially at night. really satisfied would book again, I got a really good price via Expedia. "
"The hotel is well located, very peculiar as it has been a monastery. Rooms are spacious, well lit and with excellent AC. Staff goes above and beyond to make our wishes come true. The restaurant is fabulous serving local dishes with generous portions and great price. The pool is well equipped with comfy lounge chairs and natural shades from a mature landscape. We’ll definetly be back to Atrium Quinta das Pedras. "
