Pousada Portas da Amazônia was a nice experience in the historical area of São Luís. It was great to stay here and see the historical part of the city. The food served was good and the pousada had a lot of historical details. There are a lot of options within walking distance to eat, shop, and other activities. We loved seeing the history from the city firsthand.
The property has a lot potential however their do need to better some important items,the breakfast is very poor and their need to upgrade where flies won’t be all over the food ,also because the heat and flies the place needs fans , other then that when we went there was under construction so is normal not to be everything do way we expect but stuffs was very friendly and like I mention when the place is completed reformed is very unique . This is a good criticism ❤️

My Niece and I only stayed here 1 night, old saying, "you pays your money, you takes your choice, pictures make it look grand, maybe many years ago! as for staff speaking French/English etc etc, they must have all been off. Put in a wash to be done, had to ask 4 times when it would be ready, as we were checking out, came back WET, and found out later that Traveling towel was missing. If you want cheap local. this is for you.

L’hôtel est idéalement situé dans le centre historique de São Luís, dans une ancienne bâtisse pleine de charme. Cependant, l’établissement aurait besoin de quelques rénovations, aussi bien dans les chambres que dans les parties communes.
la chambre était grande, mais donnait sur la rue très animée. Nous sommes arrivés un vendredi soir et nous avions vraiment l’impression que les musiciens jouaient directement dans la chambre ! Si vous souhaitez dormir paisiblement, je recommande vivement de demander une chambre côté cour, surtout le week-end. Heureusement, mes boules Quies ont fait le travail.
Concernant le petit déjeuner, il était servi dans une pièce au rez-de-chaussée assez sombre, sans lumière.
Au premier abord, le choix semblait varié, mais j’ai été surprise de voir que les fruits, le jambon et le fromage n’étaient pas réfrigérés sur le buffet. Café et lait étaient disponibles en thermos, avec du pain, du beurre et quelques produits chauds comme des œufs brouillés et des légumes.
Je n’ai pas été particulièrement charmé par le petit déjeuner, car je ne me sentais pas totalement en confiance quant à la conservation des produits proposés.
Pour une nuit étape, cela peut néanmoins faire l’affaire grâce à son emplacement pratique.

A equipe é muito atenciosa. O local é ótimo. O acesso não é tão bom, pois não é acessível a veículos tipo carro. Também há muitas escadas, limita a acessibilidade, ou seja, não é para todos. O casarão é lindo e bem cuidado, fica no centro histórico e perto de muitas atrações.

O quarto [9] nao tem janela a porta era de vidro; mas se aberta acabava com a privacidade. Tinham lampadas queimadas no quarto e banheiro. O servico de quarto parece que nem aconteceu, dobrou o lencol [não estendeu] e recolheu o lixo. O quarto é grande e a tv é muito pequena.
A pousada está em uma área muito deserta e perigosa. Parece um local que está abandonado . Não há manutenção alguma em suas dependências. A recepção é péssima. O café da manhã é fraco com poucas opções.
O quarto e as instalações são uma experiência a parte sendo um verdadeiro mergulho na história. O serviço de toda a equipe e o café da manhã foram ótimo e não tivemos o que reclamar.
Uma sugestão: adicionar o uso de "bailarinas" no ambiente do café da manhã para espantar possiveis insetos.
Estadia muito boa , funcionários com boas orientações ao cliente , mas é preciso ficar atento as solicitações de transfer! Poder sempre as confirmações por escrito! Localização ótima!
Ótimo custo benefício, boa localização (bem no centro antigo). Atendeu as minhas expectativas

Atendeu a expectativa. Localização perfeita, mas quem reservar tem que ter consciência que ficara em uma estrutura centenária. Cafe da manhã bom e banheiro reformado recente, sendo mais moderno que as demais areas do prédio.
Localização insuperável para quem quer ficar no Centro Histórico. Quarto e atendimento muito bons também.

Local ok para uma ou duas noites. Quarto amplo, com ar-condicionado, banheiro privativo e grande. Café da manhã ok, com algumas variedades. Atendentes simpáticos. Porém trata-se de um casarão antigo, que mantém toda a sua estrutura inicial e histórica. Mas é bem arejado, não tem cheiro forte de coisa antiga.
El hotel es un hotel bonito antiguo bonita decoración pero el personal que lo atiende es poco amable parece que les cuesta mucho dar un servicio ! El desayuno es básico y cuando ya se terminaron las cosas no pusieron nuevamente nada !
