That was the worst place I have booked 21 nights to me and my wife and my baby boy (1y). The room was completely dirty. Everything was dirty. They gave a very dirty bed to my baby boy. I left with my family the same night I came. I COULDN’T SPEND ONE NIGHT THERE.

Excellent location. The place has a terrace with a nice view. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. They spoke English, which was a major help for us. They gave us information of where to explore to enjoy Olinda and Recife. I recommend.

Communication was prompt and easy,we booked it just few hours before arrival.Our room was nice and location is perfect.Highly recommend this place!
Olinda is odd in that it is lightly populated.
For instance, there are a phenomenal number of churches in a very small area but (I imagine) way less people than there were historically,
The beach is close by and nice.
It is a stark contrast to Recife so close by.
The minor basilica is worth a visit with it’s gold or nation.

I didn't realize that my dates coincided with what is called the "previa", or preview to Carnaval. So this was an unexpected treat in a way! I don't have the tolerance or stamina for actual Carnaval, but being able to partake in and witness the preliminary street festivals was quite fun. Olinda is lovely and so walkable. I do wish that the signage for the historical markers was restored and improved. For example, the Ribeira Market is a local spot for purchasing souvenirs. It also is significant for being the market where enslaved Black people were sold alongside other "commodities". Given that Brazil has the largest percentage of people of African descent in the Americas whose ancestors were enslaved by the Portuguese, this history should NOT be overlooked, "whitewashed" or hidden. One can enjoy the beauty of a place AND acknowledge the painful legacy of enslavement throughout the Americas. Lastly, don't swim in the beaches here. Raw sewage ends up here and you can see this in the brown water. If you want a beach to swim in, head south to Porto de Galinhas.

Charming historic town.
Charming historic town. By total coincidence I was there on a Sunday night in the lead-up to Carnaval, and a local Carnaval team was practicing. Fun to watch. This evidently happens on Sunday nights for at least several weeks (longer?) leading up to Carnaval.

An incredible little haven of peace and beauty next to a buzzling city of Recife. The beaches right in front of the town are not extraordinary but within 10-15 min drive there are large beaches with little bars etc. Like anywhere in Brazil, litter and especially plastic is a problem.

I was disappointed with Olinda for being a well known tourist city in Brazil. Dirty where the beach is distant and without conditions for swimming and with little tourist attraction. Generally speaking I would not go to Recife / Olinda on vacation. The city is also very dangerous, according to residents.

We were there only one night but we enjoyed the Historic Centre and walking up to the lighthouse. The best part was taking a funicular to the treehouse restaurant! A three minute walk from the Convent.
I had an amazing stay here! The house is gorgeous – it's beautifully decorated and full of character. I loved opening the windows to enjoy the evening breezes (it is winter at the moment!). My room was very comfortable and had good A/C, hot water, and WIFI. Graça was so helpful in organising my stay and suggesting things to do, and Rita made an amazing breakfast every morning. Olinda is a charming and very easygoing place. I can't wait to come back! Obrigada!
This is a charming and characterful hotel in an old building right in the centre of the old town. The reception staff were particularly helpful in making recommendations of places to eat and arranging transport. The rooms are around the attractive mature garden, mine was small and without a view but I was there at a weekend and appreciated the distance from the street noise outside. A good breakfast is provided overlooking the garden.
Location was great, right in the cute centre of Olinda. The house was super nice and well styled. It was a small oasis to chill in the garden with the pool. We had an amazing breakfast there and Joana was a great host who was willing to help us with any questions we had and gave us lots of tips what to do around the area. Would have loved to have stayed longer and can only recommend this place!
Me and my wife LOVED our stay! Graça and Rita were warm and helpful, the place is exactly as the photos, the breakfast delicious and the house really well located. Extra points for the high speed internet connection that allowed me to do a couple of video calls without any interruptions. I highly recommend this place for both business (aka digital nomads looking for a nice scape) or leisure.
I was very impressed with how well maintained this hotel is. I know how hard the salt air and humidity is on buildings, Hotel Costeiro is not fancy but they have taken care to give this hotel character through the local art on the walls and the old time Olinda furniture in the halls. Breakfast was good and they made some of the best tapioca I've had.
Spacious apartment with relaxing terrace and beautiful views over Olinda and the coast to Recife. Great location right next to Alto da Sé square/lookout and Cathedral. Raimundo is a wonderful host with a biography worthy of a Netflix series!
Amazing location right in the Alto da Se. Beautiful old historical building which makes you feel like you are really staying in an old convent. There are helpful staff on reception and the breakfast is great. Would definitely recommend.
What a fantastic hotel! It felt like a luxury resort right in the middle of Olinda old town, surrounded by tropical nature. The staff was wonderful and the swimming pool perfection. Would recommend this hotel to anyone!
1. Upgrade to a Deluxe room. You'll thank me later.
2. Check out the local restaurants (a little north of this area...walking time around 10 minutes. Lots of great options!
