Hotel casa dos Frades

The hotel is quirky and full of interesting knock knacks and paintings. It is on the main square and next to the Amazon Theatre with good access to bars and restaurants. I stayed on two separate occasions for one night each. There was a problem between Expedia and the hotel who had not received my booking for the first stay but the lady on reception was great and we got a room albeit the one nearest the breakfast room so potentially noisy but we were up early anyway. The second occasion we had a room overlooking the square. The bed was an old one so quite low and hard, and the street was noisy. Most annoying is the squeaking bathroom door and that you should not flush toilet paper. However this is outweighed by the location and the quirkiness

The location is very good, right in front of the Theater. That’s all I can say good about this hotel. You can guess the rest.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Casa dos Frades — the staff were kind and helpful, and the room was clean and comfortable though lighting could be improved. The location is great, close to restaurants and attractions, making it easy to explore the area. Breakfast was good with quality food, though a bit more variety would make it even better.

I’ll comment on the pros first. Location is superb, right across a nice park and the Teatro Amazonas. The area gets crowded at night, with people visiting restaurants and the park right across. The cons about the hotel are, mainly, neglect , the room I choose for my first night had view to the park, and it was very large, but air conditioning unit wasn’t working properly. Next day I moved to a cheaper room, with walls made out of dark glass, which let the sun come through at early hours, and at night the lights from the hallway won’t let you sleep. I guess those are little nuisances that could easily be fixed. Also the shower in my cheaper room needed attention. The terrace upstairs is nice, filled with flowers and offers a nice view of the teatro. All in all, the hotel is just fine for a couple of days.

Hotel location is great; the service was very good too! Rooms and breakfast are very basic, but are fine for a few days stay!
