Mercure Manaus Hotel

Everyone at this hotel was very nice and helpful. The rooms are large and comfortable, though the bathrooms could use some updating. The bar served great cocktails (specially a delicious passion fruit caipirinha) very reasonably priced. The breakfast was wonderful. Different flavored fresh tropical fruits juices, delicious fruit and homemade pastries and breads that varied each day. Good strong brazillian coffee. The area around the hotel is residential and safe. A very short walk from de hotel is the Manauara shopping which is quite large and has some interesting shops.Downtown Manaus and excellent restaurants are a short taxi/uber ride away, which are quite cheap here. This hotel has a nice small rooftop pool and sauna.

We arrived in the middle of the night. The front desk check in was easy and quick. The clerk understood we were exhausted and hurried through the process. We had 3 rooms, two with double beds. When we arrived they didn't have two rooms with double beds and kindly gave us a 4th room at no charge. The hotel is no frills and one of our rooms didn't have a working TV remote, complete Wi-Fi coverage or very much cold water. However, the price was fair for what we received. Most of the front desk staff spoke English which was very helpful. There is a mall within walking distance that has a food court but we ordered room service at 3am which was very good. The breakfast was interesting and perhaps typical in Brazil. If I needed a clean, safe place to stay, I would definitely stay here again. If you need something a little more plush, this isn't it. The hotel also offers airport transportation which we didn't know in advance and would've preferred to use since there were 5 of us.

The hotel staff was very friendly and breakfast was very good. The hotel van was unreliable we had to pay for a cab to the hotel because the van was not heading back to the airport for another two hours.
