Locke de Santa Joana
Excellent, friendly staff. Check in was a breeze. They made us feel at home. The rooms, though, are small, but homey. The grounds and buildings were formerly a convent. There may be nun ghosts (seriously). They like to slap stuff around sometines. We tried all of the hotel's food and bar options. ...

Clean and well furnished room. We had a few glitches with the TV, phone and the bathroom but the staff and management fixed it for us. Overall a very pleasant stay at a convenient location steps away from the metro.
