Soneca Plaza Hotel

There are a few things that are important to me at hotels in Brazil. I usually travel by car, so I need secure parking at the hotel. Then the shower has to be good. Good pressure and lots of hot water. And then the breakfast. All of these were good at this hotel! I had to pay a little extra for the parking, but I can live with that. The location was good and bad at the same time. Good because it is central and easy to get around. But it is in an area where you have to be careful about not having your phone out too much and not displaying too much expensive things. As long as you use common sense and not walk around with your nose in your phone, you will be fine. Or just get an Uber to where you need to go. Metro and Uber are excellent ways of getting around. The wifi is free, but the speed is not too good. Another nice thing is that there is an ok restaurant and a little shop where you can buy stuff you need just across the street. My room had a minibar fridge that was empty, so I could buy water etc at the shop and keep it cold. There is a McDonalds that is open 24h just 10 min walk from the hotel. Just 2 min walk from the hotel, you find Avenida Ipiranga, one of the well known streets in the city. This street borders the famous electronics area in Sao Paulo. So if your are looking for anything electronics, this hotel is a convenient place to stay. If you drive in by car, Waze will guide you straight to the hotel and it was surprisingly easy to get there. The parking is next to the hotel, just past the entrance.

First of all - the hotel is a little worn down, but as the price was very ok, it is not a big problem. The thing that should be improved is the wifi. The routers are not made for hotels.

The hotel is well furnished, comfortable and the staff is wonderful. I forgot something in a Uber car and they promptly help me contact the guy and fix the issue (the guy was correct too). I got an anticipated check-in for almost nothing and an anticipated check-out (for professional reasons) arranged. The breakfast is perfect and the rooms are clean everyday (unless you don't want it on some days). Before coming there, I read some comment about people leaving in the street, this is general in Sao Paolo, and (for me) they are not an issue. In this case, they are not the street of the hotel, so please relax. Last, but not the least, the price is affordable and it seems to be reduced most of the time. So, just go.

Everything was perfect for me.

Room was big (compared to others I stayed in) and very comfortable bed. Staff was friendly and helpful if needed. Hot water shower without waiting. Clean room and the location was very quiet and especially needed during Carnival events.

Location is not the best but OK but just be careful in later hours. A couple times I had to remind the front desk about cleaning my room and then cleaned right away. Variety for breakfast was not much but enough to eat. Good coffee..

I liked the friendly staff and the good location

After 22 hours the area around is dangerous, i would suggest to move around only via Uber (that is very cheap and taxis doesn't exist in sao paulo). The breakfast have to be improved a lot.

Location,cleanliness,confortable spacious room.Front desk people very helpful,honest,professional,kind.

Bad wi fi,make very hard to keep contact for business or family.

Thank you so much for helping me arrange an international call. The staff are warm and professional Tanks

Nothing

Breakfast is OK. Location is near bus stop and Pinakotheka. Calm atmosphere, polite staff

Weird smell. Quite old. A lot of dirt in the district. The pictures r nicer than my room was.

Overall it was good, but location is not a safe place, especially for the evening...

O local. Assustador.
