Bristol Pampulha Lieu

This is a nice hotel. Parts of it are somewhat dated but the lobby and restaurant and a newer half of the hotel are very nice. I stay here about two times a year when I am in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. It is not too far from the downtown area but in a quieter and calmer area of the city. The staff here is always top notch. They speak English at the reception desk. I stay in the older part of the hotel which has two bedrooms, one and a half baths and a small kitchen. (The newer part has only single bedrooms. They are nice but smaller.) The breakfast is included and always very nice! And, they have a garage which is really important in Brazil if you have a car. There is no charge to use their parking facility! If you are not from Brazil, I would encourage you not to rent a car here - just use taxis and Uber as the traffic is so complicated here it is not worth renting. One big advantage of this hotel is that it is very close to the Mineirão which is the large professional soccer stadium. Even though the hotel is in a residential neighborhood, there are plenty of places to eat and shop within walking distance. They have room service and a la cart lunch and supper which are a little expensive but convenient and good. One thing that I do not like is that I've been staying here twice a year for the last four years and the free Wi-Fi is never very good!

Great service and hotel staff. The rooms need painting and the WiFi is almost nonexistent. Great garage for guests. Great breakfast!!!
