That was the worst place I have booked 21 nights to me and my wife and my baby boy (1y). The room was completely dirty. Everything was dirty. They gave a very dirty bed to my baby boy. I left with my family the same night I came. I COULDN’T SPEND ONE NIGHT THERE.

Excellent location. The place has a terrace with a nice view. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. They spoke English, which was a major help for us. They gave us information of where to explore to enjoy Olinda and Recife. I recommend.

Perfect location in the old town of Olinda. Everything in walking distance!
Everything was very clean!
Communication was amazing and the hostess gave us a lot of good tips :)
Definitely recommend!
Olinda is odd in that it is lightly populated.
For instance, there are a phenomenal number of churches in a very small area but (I imagine) way less people than there were historically,
The beach is close by and nice.
It is a stark contrast to Recife so close by.
The minor basilica is worth a visit with it’s gold or nation.

I didn't realize that my dates coincided with what is called the "previa", or preview to Carnaval. So this was an unexpected treat in a way! I don't have the tolerance or stamina for actual Carnaval, but being able to partake in and witness the preliminary street festivals was quite fun. Olinda is lovely and so walkable. I do wish that the signage for the historical markers was restored and improved. For example, the Ribeira Market is a local spot for purchasing souvenirs. It also is significant for being the market where enslaved Black people were sold alongside other "commodities". Given that Brazil has the largest percentage of people of African descent in the Americas whose ancestors were enslaved by the Portuguese, this history should NOT be overlooked, "whitewashed" or hidden. One can enjoy the beauty of a place AND acknowledge the painful legacy of enslavement throughout the Americas. Lastly, don't swim in the beaches here. Raw sewage ends up here and you can see this in the brown water. If you want a beach to swim in, head south to Porto de Galinhas.

Charming historic town.
Charming historic town. By total coincidence I was there on a Sunday night in the lead-up to Carnaval, and a local Carnaval team was practicing. Fun to watch. This evidently happens on Sunday nights for at least several weeks (longer?) leading up to Carnaval.

An incredible little haven of peace and beauty next to a buzzling city of Recife. The beaches right in front of the town are not extraordinary but within 10-15 min drive there are large beaches with little bars etc. Like anywhere in Brazil, litter and especially plastic is a problem.

I was disappointed with Olinda for being a well known tourist city in Brazil. Dirty where the beach is distant and without conditions for swimming and with little tourist attraction. Generally speaking I would not go to Recife / Olinda on vacation. The city is also very dangerous, according to residents.

We were there only one night but we enjoyed the Historic Centre and walking up to the lighthouse. The best part was taking a funicular to the treehouse restaurant! A three minute walk from the Convent.
We loved staying with Gigi! What a delightful, hardworking lady. We can't speak Portuguese, but chatted about family like old friends.
The room downstairs was a little cramped and perhaps the ones upstairs are lighter too. However, breakfast was superb and with all guests sitting around one large table, it was good to catch up on everyone's travels and experiences.
It's a noisy neighbourhood.... But the whole of Olinda is noisy because practice for Carnival is in full swing!
This is a very small "pousada" with only 3 well separated rooms. Everything in the room was very good and the environment was quite and relaxing. There are many bars and several good restuarants within a 10 min walking radius. I had no problems walking around late at night and will defintely stay again if I am ever in Olinda... and possibly Recife.
The team at Pousada São Pedro were so incredibly welcoming and accomodating to all my requests, they made sure my stay in Olinda absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend their personable, friendly approach highly enough and the work they go to in creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere!
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of historic Olinda. It has its own parking lot which is definitely plus. You can enjoy amazing view from the pousada numerous viewing decks. The spot where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over Recife , is right outside the hotel's door.
Beautiful location, the hotel is just under the stop where all the tourists stand to get their pics, Raimondo was an incredible host even though he speaks little English, great breakfast and patio, I was very happy with my stay, just wish I could of stayed longer
Spacious apartment with relaxing terrace and beautiful views over Olinda and the coast to Recife. Great location right next to Alto da Sé square/lookout and Cathedral. Raimundo is a wonderful host with a biography worthy of a Netflix series!
Excellent location. The place has a terrace with a nice view. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. They spoke English, which was a major help for us. They gave us information of where to explore to enjoy Olinda and Recife. I recommend.
The complex was very nice with a great pool and restaurant area. Parking was straight forward. Hotel very close to the town center and all the restaurants. Room was spacious and clean. Staff on the desk were polite.
1. Upgrade to a Deluxe room. You'll thank me later.
2. Check out the local restaurants (a little north of this area...walking time around 10 minutes. Lots of great options!
