I needed a place for the night and this served well. The breakfast was great.
Only negative remark would’ve that there was no towel in the room.
Otherwise definitely a place I’d pick again
Very good. Very clean, cordial and friendly staff. Amazing Brazilian breakfast.

It’s an OK hotel. The breakfast is not great, but at least it is included. The hotel doesn’t provide shampoo or body wash, which is ridiculous in my opinion. I’d rather have basic necessities than a pool and breakfast. The location is very central and busy and there’s a lot of things around, which is nice. But it’s not the safest area.
The staff are generally friendly. Our first check-in at 3pm at Monte Alegre was smooth by friendly staff. Two days after, we decided to stay two extra days and paid via Expedia. I reached front desk at 8am to inform our extension, the in- charge staff suddenly picky about my reservation displayed name (a English called name) not match my passport name (a Chineses Canadian). The other two staff appeared not willing to help me. I connected to Expedia and made them discussed on my phone. Still i got stuck with non-refundable paid, frustrated and upset. Looking back been travel latin America for 8 years, i never be picky on this issue. Expedia identified that's me who paid reservation and I carried my legal stamped passport. Why picky? Due to his bad mood or dislike Asian foreigner? My wife suggested check out first and come back later. As expected, we met same afternoon staff and he proceeded as what he did two days ago without issue. Hotel Managers should maintain good customer service spirit of front desks.
Lots of noise and chaos, the room is incredibly small, the A/C you couldn’t regulate it was a straight freezer in there with no proper bed sheets to cover yourself at all. The breakfast was subpar. I took a triple room. But if you are more than one person they charge you extra per person which makes absolutely no sense since I booked a TRIPLE. Overall I feel completely scammed out of my money. The 24/7 noise
Recepcionistas super atenciosos e muito simpáticos em especial o Thiago que nos ajudou muito com pontos turísticos e informações a respeito de acessos a cidade. Quarto muito limpo e que sempre era arrumado sem precisar pedir. O banho é maravilhoso. O café da manhã é muito bom e tem uma variedade grande de buffet.
Parabéns ao Hotel Monte Alegre e toda a equipe de trabalho.
O quarto com varanda é muito bom, bem espaçoso e a varanda é uma delícia para se estar no início da manhã e fim de tarde. Além da varanda, o quarto em si é bem espaçoso e confortável.
