Hotel Fasano São Paulo Itaim

A estadia foi ótima e bem tranquila, a localização é boa, próxima a 9 de Julho.

Excellent boutique. Well trained staff, fluent in English, made arrival and departure seamless. Attractive, clean, and well appointed room. Comfortable bed, quality linens and towels. Attractive finishing in common areas. Convenient location.

To start, the hotel suffers from an interior design and architectural team that place guest comfort at the bottom of the check list. Guest rooms are not sound proofed. Activity in the hallway can be heard due materials used, types of doors and poor interior room design. During my recent two night stay, I heard guests in the middle of the night, walking, talking, steering their rollers. The rooms are very likely not the actual size promoted in all Fasano internet media. I doubt the room is 30 sqm (330 sft) based on experience and counting tiles on the floor. If it is, it's bad space planning. The guest walks head-on into the room. Bathroom door opens into the room and not the bathroom, creating a very awkward flow. The guest room is exceptionally narrow, similar to a Hilton built in the 1950's. Housekeeping had a lot to be desired. Plumbing needed maintenance, when that should be a minor detail worked through before a new guest arrives. On the plus, very friendly staff, but limited working knowledge of English, which handicaps their abilities to assist.
