“The pros and cons of staying in an old classic well located hotel”

This used to be a very nice hotel in the seventies and eighties. Despite being on an excellent location near the historic district, the continuous changes in its previous administrations didn’t keep their pace with the new ones, from great brands. All accommodations must be renewed. Having this in mind, you shouldn’t discard the opportunity of staying there. The staff is wonderful. They try their best to help you with every need. As I said before, the historic district is only a few steps far from you. Very convenient. Breakfast is nice with tropical fruits like cajá (taste like mango and orange mixed together) and delicious tapiocas served at your table. The swimming pool is refreshing after a nice stroll in the city and the rooms are spacious. On the other hand, the shower takes some time to heat the water, my tv had only aired channels and the air conditioning was a bit noisy (but I didn’t care). Bottom line, you should consider its location and all the amenities of this old but nice ex-four-star hotel. Maybe you’ll find it better than a good three-star five miles away.

Grand São Luís is located at one end of the historic site of São Luís foundation, just beside the São Luís Cathedral and the Episcopal Palace. The Governor's Palace, the City Hall, and the main State's Court are also on the same plaza, making the hotel's location a very privileged one. Although in need of some substantial refurbishing, the hotel features a nice pool, and rooms are quiet, spacious, and relatively comfortable. Most attractions in the historic district are within walking distance, as is the pier from where one can get to Alcantara.

“Old (and bad) Hotel in fantastic Historic Center”

The hotel has a good structure, good pool, but the rooms are poorly maintained, lacking basic maintenance. The restaurant is good, the dishes tasty, but my order took over 1 hour to get to the table. Otherwise the service is slow but good and the staff very attentive.
