Seringal Hotel

We booked this hotel for an overnight stay before our Amazon Safari pickup the following day. This hotel is in old part of downtown and in a great spot with multiple tourist attractions near by. The hotel serves good lunch and breakfast and the staff is very courteous and friendly. The local municipality closes a street on Sunday for walkers, runners, bikers etc. That is literally a block from the hotel and so I could enjoy a quick morning run there. However, I want to warn you about Mr Armstrong. He is a TOTAL SCAM, do not use his services. He greeted us in a very friendly manner at the hotel gate as he is part of the staff itself. He showed the town around to us and bunch of other sight seeings too for a reasonable price. That was all good. Then he hooked us up with another of his “guy”, Jose Carlos, in Rio. That was a big mistake. He shows fancy picture of Ford F250 Executive Tropivan. Both the driver and van are real, but ina very dilapidated state. Jose speaks good English but his hands shake when driving the big car. He is having difficulty maneuvering the steering wheel. The car shut down at Christ The Redeemer where we had to call several other guys to push the car to get it started. Just a disappointing experience and the feeling of being cheated, The hotel staff should kick him out so that he cannot solicit any other guests coming there. This is the reason I’m downgrading the hotel.

Service is great at this hotel. When my son needed medicine, staff came with me to the pharmacy to help translate. I would stay here again. Breakfast is great with lots of choices and made to order sandwich/omelette bar.

Fantastic location. Excellent breakfast.

Very nice hotel, quick check, friendly, great breakfast!!! Good location - short walk to opera house. We Would stay here again.

Perfect place to stay. Close to restaurants, shopping and the theater.
