Set in a beautiful park next to Olinda´s São Francisco Convent, this hotel features a colonial museum and modern rooms. Free Wi-Fi, free parking and a large pool are available.
Costeiro is just a 15-minute walk from Olinda historical town, which was named a world heritage by UNESCO. The hotel offers a swimming pool in its courtyard with ocean views.
Hotel 5 Sois offers accommodation in front of Casa Caiada Beach and its boardwalk, only 2 km from Olinda’s historic centre. It features children and adult pools, private parking and free Wi-Fi.

With an outdoor pool, garden area, Alto Astral is located in Olinda. It boasts a rustic, colourful décor, buffet breakfast and free Wi-Fi in public areas.
Olinda is odd in that it is lightly populated.
For instance, there are a phenomenal number of churches in a very small area but (I imagine) way less people than there were historically,
The beach is close by and nice.
It is a stark contrast to Recife so close by.
The minor basilica is worth a visit with it’s gold or nation.

I didn't realize that my dates coincided with what is called the "previa", or preview to Carnaval. So this was an unexpected treat in a way! I don't have the tolerance or stamina for actual Carnaval, but being able to partake in and witness the preliminary street festivals was quite fun. Olinda is lovely and so walkable. I do wish that the signage for the historical markers was restored and improved. For example, the Ribeira Market is a local spot for purchasing souvenirs. It also is significant for being the market where enslaved Black people were sold alongside other "commodities". Given that Brazil has the largest percentage of people of African descent in the Americas whose ancestors were enslaved by the Portuguese, this history should NOT be overlooked, "whitewashed" or hidden. One can enjoy the beauty of a place AND acknowledge the painful legacy of enslavement throughout the Americas. Lastly, don't swim in the beaches here. Raw sewage ends up here and you can see this in the brown water. If you want a beach to swim in, head south to Porto de Galinhas.

Charming historic town.
Charming historic town. By total coincidence I was there on a Sunday night in the lead-up to Carnaval, and a local Carnaval team was practicing. Fun to watch. This evidently happens on Sunday nights for at least several weeks (longer?) leading up to Carnaval.

An incredible little haven of peace and beauty next to a buzzling city of Recife. The beaches right in front of the town are not extraordinary but within 10-15 min drive there are large beaches with little bars etc. Like anywhere in Brazil, litter and especially plastic is a problem.

I was disappointed with Olinda for being a well known tourist city in Brazil. Dirty where the beach is distant and without conditions for swimming and with little tourist attraction. Generally speaking I would not go to Recife / Olinda on vacation. The city is also very dangerous, according to residents.

We were there only one night but we enjoyed the Historic Centre and walking up to the lighthouse. The best part was taking a funicular to the treehouse restaurant! A three minute walk from the Convent.
The design of the hotel is stunning. We love the way the ‘outside’ and ‘inside’ are integrated. The original art work is superb and a real feature of the hotel. Your establishment offers a taste of Paradise at a very reasonable price. The entire staff team couldn’t do enjoy to make us feel comfortable. The quality of service is very high. Paulo is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond to ensure that our staff was magical. We WILL return!
I was very impressed with how well maintained this hotel is. I know how hard the salt air and humidity is on buildings, Hotel Costeiro is not fancy but they have taken care to give this hotel character through the local art on the walls and the old time Olinda furniture in the halls. Breakfast was good and they made some of the best tapioca I've had.
The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of historic Olinda. It has its own parking lot which is definitely plus. You can enjoy amazing view from the pousada numerous viewing decks. The spot where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset over Recife , is right outside the hotel's door.
I loved this hostel, I spent many days just relaxing by the pool and hanging out in the hostel, it felt like a true vacation. The breakfast was delicious and the air con in the room was a huge bonus. The location in Olinda is ideal and I met some wonderful people during my stay.
Breakfast is great, rooms are ok, staff was nice and it is walking distance to Olinda's historical center. The beds were comfortable. It is an ok place to stay during carnival, but for the price, I would try to book something better a bit earlier next time. Wifi ok.
Beautiful location, the hotel is just under the stop where all the tourists stand to get their pics, Raimondo was an incredible host even though he speaks little English, great breakfast and patio, I was very happy with my stay, just wish I could of stayed longer
Amazing location right in the Alto da Se. Beautiful old historical building which makes you feel like you are really staying in an old convent. There are helpful staff on reception and the breakfast is great. Would definitely recommend.
1. Upgrade to a Deluxe room. You'll thank me later.
2. Check out the local restaurants (a little north of this area...walking time around 10 minutes. Lots of great options!
Beautiful room and Guest House which located in the center of Olinda old town.
The hosts were really nice and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay there very much.
