Hotel do Templo

The location has to be one of the best of any hotel in the world. I could not believe as I tried to find the hotel in my rentla car that I had to drive behind and around the basilica to get to the hotel. The hotel is located literally a stone's throw from the basilica. Additionally the view from the pool area is also wonderful.

Maintenance could be a bit better; the hotel is obviously quite old and in need of some repairs. Reception called me one morning and asked if I was using the bathtub. I replied yes to which she commented and I quote "it is raining in reception". After the tub was filled, I drained some water to add more hot water and noticed water running on the floor near the drain next to the toilet. I stopped draining the tub. However, when I entered the tub it filled above the inside drain and water drained out but I did not notice any additional water on the floor so I assumed everything was ok. When I went down to reception it had more than just rained - there had been a torrential downpour. The staff was not upset and the maintenance guy knew immediately what the problem was. Once they work out these quirks the hotel will be superb yet I still highly recommend the hotel. When will you ever again stay that close to a UNESCO world heritage site?

It's an incredible place to stay, if you get a front balcony you'll be pretty satisfied. Also, you will enjoy the indoor swimming pool specially if the weather is really nice, the outside balcony by the pool is just great!

Though the staff was nice, it seemed to be a lack of people, on the swimming pool/spa area or the breakfast room.
