Arcada Hotel & Bistro

staff friendly, water cold

water cold / I was extra charged

Location was really good, 2 block from the beach, plenty of restaurants in the area

This hotel is a dump, there were very limited options to stay in Recife during the world cup so ownership took advantage of this. The rooms were small, old beds with just one linen and one cover, shower was disgusting and no hot water. Breakfast was decent, but bistro was smelly and dark, it was depressing, the whole property was like that Most of the staff was friendly, none of the them speak english, some spoke a little spanish but they tried to communicate with a great attitude, with the exception of a dark haired lady, I asked her a couple of very simple questions and she snapped back with a resounding, " nao sei",she seemed to be very upset to have a hotel full of real tourists, maybe she missed all the prostitutes that work in the corner and that must be the regular clientele of this establishment It is a shame the owners of this place did not spend a little money to clean it up for an event like the world cup. I'd would be ashamed to have guests from all over the world in a place like this

the hotel was dirty very dirty the airco was making a lot of noice and there was the smell of urine
