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.

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.
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.

The breakfast was excellent! As were all of the meals in the restaurant there. The staff was super friendly and kind, from Robson at the front desk to Marta who took care of our suite!

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.

I loved the view from our room. Waking up to the early morning sun rise and a view of the city was beautiful. Then the breakfast cooked by the BnB host, Raymundo and Suzanna was delicious

Accommodation closely located to the Olinda's historic city center and all the sightseeing. Very nice and helpful staff.
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 pousada is extraordinary decorated with art. The staff is very nice and always helpful. The breakfast offers a rich variety of mouthwatering brazilian foods. Our kids enjoyed the relaxed atmoshphere and to play in the swimming pool. Our room was nice and offered plenty of space for 4 persons, the air conditioning worked very well. Within 2 minutes walking distance you can find a nice cafe / restaurant, a super market, a bakery and several providers of local food and even a hairdresser.
We loved staying with Gigi! What a delightful, hardworking lady. We can't speak Portuguese, but chatted about family like old friends.
The room downstairs was a little cramped and perhaps the ones upstairs are lighter too. However, breakfast was superb and with all guests sitting around one large table, it was good to catch up on everyone's travels and experiences.
It's a noisy neighbourhood.... But the whole of Olinda is noisy because practice for Carnival is in full swing!
This hostel is incredibly nice. I almost didn't leave to go explore the city. The common areas have a gorgeous view and the place is very clean. I slept so well because they have air conditioning in the bedrooms and the bed itself I found very comfortable. The staff was so patient and kind to me with my inability to speak Portuguese and the location is so close to the water and restaurants/bars and stores, I really have no complaints about it.
Hospitality and willingness to help was much appreciated from the moment of arrival until our departure.
Character - the pousada has a unique eclectic style. Not to mention it's rooms decoration - very unique indeed.
The breaksfat was a feast to the eyes and palate.
The staff, starting with Patricia, Jorge were great, attentive hosts.*****
Great value for money and experience.
Until next time , thank you
This is a very small "pousada" with only 3 well separated rooms. Everything in the room was very good and the environment was quite and relaxing. There are many bars and several good restuarants within a 10 min walking radius. I had no problems walking around late at night and will defintely stay again if I am ever in Olinda... and possibly Recife.
I really enjoyed my stay at L'auberge, I even extended it with 2 days. You can easily access gorgeous Olinda by foot and Recife by bus, the staff is available and flexible, the accommodation is comfortable, clean and spacious. I definitely recommend a stay at L'auberge
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
The hosts were so kind and welcoming, and provided lots of advice. The hostel was very beautiful with good facilities, including a kitchen and pool. And the location was great, a short walk from the historic centre. We loved our stay, would recommend!
Wonderful location, in the heard of Olinda. We loved the pool in the back with the view of sunset at night. Nice selection for breakfast. Came two years before but I think this time I enjoyed more. The staff were really kind and helpful :D
Excellent location. The place has a terrace with a nice view. Our hosts were very nice and welcoming. They spoke English, which was a major help for us. They gave us information of where to explore to enjoy Olinda and Recife. I recommend.
Very friendly family-run ladeira in the center of Olinda. The location is beautiful, close to all the center sights. I really enjoyed chilling at the pool and the quiet atmosphere. The breakfast was also very yummy!
Lovely and helpful staff, convenient restaurant with quality food, gorgeous patio that was a delight to sit on in the evenings. Wonderful ambiance that really gives the flavor of Olinda. A++
location is amazing! walking distance of everything in high olinda. Beautiful view from the top of the street of Convento.
