Good breakfast, very friendly staff. Leisure area was nice but hot tube and pool looks like needed be cleaned and had lots of bleach and chemicals. Bedrooms needs a makeover, very old building. Missed cupboards and hangers to organize clothes.

Hotel Casablanca Imperial
Central location within a 5 minute walk for all that Petropolis has to offer. Great breakfast in a comfortable setting. Nice swimming pool area to relax. We had an issue with the toilet in our room and as the hotel couldn’t repair quickly they moved us to another room.

O Cafe em si poderia ser melhor. Muito FRACO. Parecia mais um CHAFÉ do que um cafezinho Brasileiro, ne? Fora a isso tudo muito bom 😉
