Hotel Acta the Clover

We had a pleasant experience staying at this hotel. The check in and check out process was one of the quickest I have seen. The rooms for the price is well worth it. Do note the hotel is in a section of an old building that was converted into a hotel by Acta, Though the building looks old or even worn down a bit the hotel was really good for a 3 star hotel. The location is also prime as you are 6 minutes away from the Trindade station that gives you access to the airport and most of the metro line. Also you are 5 minutes away from the Rua Santa Catarina street where most tourists are locals would hang out. Another highlight is the room. The room was big and we had a mini balcony that we enjoyed really well. They had AC running if guests needed it. The toilets were clean and housekeeping was on point. My favorite aspect is that they provided us with a Nespresso machine with both normal and decaf pods. It is a rare sight to see such complimentary high quality coffee given in such hotels in Europe, at least based on my experience. The small gripe I had was with the post booking process where I was informed through emails where I had to provide twice my credit card details to validate my booking and then validate my first day room rate. This was painful part. Do note this happened as we booked through their website and not through booking agency websites.

I had room 706 on floor 7. Above the room is a rooftop bar which doesn’t let you sleep as you hear chairs moving until at least 1am. The room is also facing the street, the windows don’t keep the noise out, it’s a busy street with traffic, you hear every single car.
