I was very pleased by the cleanliness of the hotel, and the quality of the room, breakfast, service, everything, really. I don't know about other hotels in Natal, but there really is no comparison between this and a hotel in Rio de Janeiro. The price is very reasonable, everything about this hotel, except maybe the location, is great. The wifi was spotty, now that I think about it, but I was able to use Skype to call home most days. The neighborhood isn't bad, or anything, but it is a good walk from the beach. There is a neat market nearby, and a restaurant across the street and down a block with some great shrimp dishes.
