The hotel is conveniently located near the Praça da República; however, the street can be quite empty at night so calling a taxi/Uber at night is a good idea. The rooms are simple, and the breakfast is consistently good. The courtyard with the pool are certainly a highlight. While checking out of the hotel, I had something of an unfortunately experience. The person working the front desk suggested I had not paid for the hotel, when in reality I had paid for everything at the time of booking through a major hotel website. I explained this to the gentleman working at the front desk and he tried to call a number of his coworkers, but since it was early in the morning, none of them picked up. After this, he again repeated that there was no record showing that I had paid. I showed him the receipt from the hotel website, and I then showed him my credit card statement with the confirmation number matching the reservation. He again repeated that there was no record that I had paid. I suggested that I would forward the confirmation to the hotel's email address and that I would leave my phone number in case they had any questions. Unfortunately, this process led me to miss my bus. The hotel is nice, but there are better options in safer areas of Belém for less money.
