Hotel Vila Recife

Great location and staff very helpful

Really good location, 2 minute walk to the centre and beach. Breakfast could be better, basic and little choice, however there is a really good breakfast place right across the road, a full English was 3.50 euros. Ground floor and level 1 rooms have poor views, either pool on one side or a wall the other. Pool wasn't very busy and a good size for a cool down. Staff were helpful throughout our stay and spoke good English. Actual room could be updated, however they seemed like they were already starting to update furniture.

Wouldn't stay there again. Old part of hotel is "falling down" you could open some of the doors with a spoon !!! New build isn't much better, walls & corridors are "paper thin" . Only friendly staff were the chamber maids & the girl in the bar. Most of the others, particularly the reception staff would avoid eye contact..... although it is hard to blaim them I suppose, as there were constant complaints I'm sure.

The hotel staff was friendly, helpful and spoke English which is good, the rooms have also been refurbished to modern standards compared to old pics currently on their website which can be a put off. The breakfast was ok and basic not much options. They could do better with Wifi access in the rooms and not just in lobby or dinning area. I did enjoy my stay without any fuss.

We do like the Vila Recife more because of where it is situated, the cleanliness of the room is spot on, just the shower could do with staying hot long enough to have one, the hotel has had a slight renovation which was needed and is now looking good, could probably do with new curtains too, I will continue to stay here...
