I had hoped a big hotel like this would get me in early. Nope Crappy room assignment too. Safe didnt work. Key card rarely worked in elevator. Not sound proof. Dirty towels. Thin pillows. Basic room. 70 years old. Slats over windows. Homeless all over. Sadly, this may be the best hotel in the area.

The property is older. Windows are not clean. The bathroom sink was cracked. There was a water leak from the bathroom wall. The best aspect was breakfast- lots of choices and very good service.

TERRIBLE STAY. NO AIR CONDITIONING
This hotel shouldnt be recommended for now. Huge issues with air condtioning, maintenenace, etc. Mildew on the ceilings of my suite, hot as hell. Cant charge anything to your room. You have tobwalk with your credit card or cash within the hotel. Ridiculous!. Ive never experienced this before. Even room service you have to pay upon delivery. It has seen better days. Great history behind it, queens, presidents, mivie stars stayed here back in the 1950s. But now its not a place i would go back to or recommend. The location is very dangerous. Cant just walk out for a stroll.

The reception staff was very cold and refused to serve me because I did not speak Portuguese. I thought that was unprofessional as he did not offer to get me sorted. This is the first of many visits for me to get underserved this way. Otherwise, it is my go-to place in SP. I will return again.

CONS: Air Conditioning (AC) did not work for 2 days. Bed is very uncomfortable and feels like cheap quality mattress. Horrible Guest Policy - No visitors (Friends, Families or people you meet) allowed unless they register and pay a fee right then and there. No power outlets near the bed, and all are only 220V (Most US items are 120V). Exterior windows are extremely dirty and have shutters so you have a limited view. PROS: Junior Suite is very cute and spacious. Best Breakfast out of all the hotels I stayed at in Sao Paulo. Excellent Internet (Was the only hotel I stayed in Sao Paulo that had great consistent internet). Most of the Staff was extremely kind and polite (Manager Vanessa was extremely professional, understanding and polite!) Bathroom's are nice, Shower has excellent water pressure, and great quality shampoo and conditioner.

Good safe location close to the center but so-so
The best about the Jaragua is its location, which is close to the center of Sao Paulo, and is in a relatively safe residential neighborhood. Nearby there is a really attractive street with nice decorative lighting with fabulous Italian restaurants. (For less pricey places take a short cab ride to 13 de Maio street.) Even closer is a convenient supermarket. The design of the Jaragua hotel is a bit complicated as to go to the restaurant for meals you have to go down to the lobby and then go by escalator to the second floor (third floor for US people). I wish they had explained that at check-in. The breakfast was fabulous with a rich assortment of cold and hot dishes and things that you can order a la carte like tapioca, a healthy omelet type food (not pudding nor eggs). But again, we were not explained this and found by asking. The hot water in the shower was plentiful which was great. The faucet in the facebowl squirted a bit, and was not that plentiful. The air conditioning temperature could not be controlled and we had to turn it on and off. The internet was very good at times but sometimes got cut off. The lights went out for a brief period once during our two-night stay. The restaurant would not deliver drinks to our room and it took a long time to get them at the restaurant. Brazilian time, I guess... Overall, I would stay again for the location and the price. It's fairly good but not a highly luxurious hotel.
