Golden Tulip Recife Palace Hotel, Recife

great need of renovation. good service, good breakfast buffet

The wonderful staff at the International Palace are its best feature. And the tapiocas are the best!

The hotel is locatd at a nice place, in front of the beach but the rooms are not great and the elevators were really slow. Let's see if they fix the elevators soon...The breakfast was good though.

Room is simple for a 4-star hotel. Breakfast is fantastic. They even have a healthy food section with multi-grain lowfat stuff. Staff is all nice, except the man at the bar. Hotel is 1 block from the street (opposite to the direction of beach) on which runs all the north-bound buses and 2 blocks from one for south bound buses, so you basically can take buses to everywhere right outside the hotel, even porto de galinhas.

The International Palace is a little run down but the service is still quite good.

Great location on seafront...partial sideway seaview though unless you book a suite. Always had to wait ages for lift to come (16 floors)Breakfast was excellent. Hotel is facing the low tide pools on Boa Viagem beach...perfect for bathing safely. Shopping center 10 mn walk away. Very few restaurants or bars around.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Tapiocas for breakfast are the best! On an urban beach (with all the attendant problems but charms too) within walking distance to many restaurants and bars.
