Hotel Casa Dos Frades

Travelling with my son. We absolutely love this place. It has the feel of a boutique gallery hotel. We are so happy with our room. Nr 5. It's spacious and has so much character. It's quiet. The service and attention to our needs is impeccable. The breakfast room is absolutely wonderful. The buffet is small but has enough variety. If you want something that's not there like freshly made scrambled eggs..not a problem just ask for it. The rooftop terrace is a sanctuary on it's own. Overlooking the Plaza and to the right the Manus theatre. Great location! Diverse food opportunities around.

AMERICANS!! This review is for you and others that don’t speak Portuguese. We found one employee here who spoke a tiny bit of English and a little bit of Spanish. The others spoke maybe two words of English. We got along fine with the staff using our phones to translate. This hotel is the former home of the friar to the church on the corner. It is spectacularly decorated in a sort of adventure theme. So cool! There’s no ice. And, like the rest of Manaus, the water is unsafe for Americans. They sell cold bottled water in the lobby. Use that for brushing teeth. Use hand sanitizer instead of washing hands. You can’t flush paper down the toilet but there is a bidet. Also, there wasn’t a TV in our room. (We didn’t care!) Because of safety issues you should limit yourself to the immediate square once the sun sets. The Teatro Amazonas is across the street. It’s an opera house and well worth touring. Many restaurants and food carts line the square and many of them have English speaking employees. The “pipoca” is delicious. Please note that it is not a Hilton, or even a Days Inn, but it is a unique property that adds to the adventure of visiting Manaus.
