  I am rating 5 stars because: It is a gorgeous colonial building nicely re-architected, preserving slave-age elements clearly visible. It is also a correctly priced 3 star hotel. Do not expect 5 star hotel service and finish/accessories. This said, although it is generally clean, some areas are dirty, such as the high part of cup board. And the shower knob gives slight electric shocks and leaks a drop. Easy they could fix but as you can read from other comments, they are no willing to fix. They also have insecure-looking baggage storage area , if you need it Nice stay!

  This is a quaint hotel that is absolutely bursting with potential. The same can be said for the surrounding historic district given its natural beauty and wonder. However, the problem with both is the same - they aren’t taken care of to the degree they should be. The service was kind and welcoming, the breakfast was nothing to write home about and the room was clean & spacious. But, the window panes in the room are broken so bugs would get in, there is no sound proofing so you will be awake to the street block parties that go on until 1am daily. These are small things that can easily be fixed; also streaming WiFi through the property should be a non issue in 2019. That being said, this is the best available property in the historic district, if you want to be where all the action is. We would recommend a stay a here.

  What seems to have been bedbugs, two dead cockroaches in the room, mold, stained bed linen and generally poor cleanliness were what put us off. No doubt the area is pretty, and the pousada well-located. But no access to it by car makes it inconvenient to many travelers. Building and interior is otherwise charming, if a bit dark. Friendliness and helpfulness of reception desk could otherwise be vastly improved, as could the unappealing breakfast.

  Very nice experience. The Pousada is fantastic probably the best place in town. Even if you do not sleep there go to take a look around.

  Lovely pousada in excellent location. Great service by helpful staff. We had a balcony room street side which means lively Brazilian acoustics at all hours, but that was not a nuisance at all, it added to the upbeat ambience of São Luís, one of my favorite towns in Brazil, unique history and very photogenic.
