Overall a very good stay with good service in a cozy hotel just outside the town centre madness. Great shuttle service into old town running until 22.30 who also pick you up quickly to drive you back after calling the hotel (10-15min). Can't compete with a luxury high-end hotel but service equality good and win the cozyness competiton every day and you don't go to Ouro Preto to stay in a top-end luxury hotel. Great lobby, great common areas with fireplace and a traditional English touch to it. Fantastic free afternoon tea. Would stay here again if I get to visit Ouro Preto again in the future. For thosw who drive, the hotel has private parking for maybe 15 cars or so which is great when traveling with car like we did. And airconditon and beds are great.

Wonderful staff. My friend had bought a new camera and had no idea how to use it. The whole team at Reception went out of their way to assist her to get her camera working. Very nice, romantic hotel with nice rooms and excellent breakfast. I also appreciated their 5 o'clock tea with cakes.

There was a sign on the main street indicating where the hotel was. We proceeded down a quaint but steep cobblestone street and were greeted immediately by staff, who took our bags and parked our car for us in the inn's private lot. Check-in was easy despite the language barrier and staff couldn't have been friendlier. Our room had arched doorways, wood paneled ceilings and double door windows overlooking the valley. We loved the sounds of roosters and barking dogs in the morning when we opened our windows. The roads are steep in Ouro Preto, so maybe not for everyone, but we enjoyed exploring the town by foot and the challenges that posed. The walk was about 10 minutes to the central square, but there was a shuttle provided by the hotel if we preferred. Morning breakfast was wonderful--good coffee, lots of fruit, and LOTS of bread choices!! The public spaces of the inn were well furnished and interesting, especially the glass-topped table with many minerals and gem stones on display. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back again if we ever visit Ouro Preto in the future.

Beautiful Hotel. A little Bit off the beaten path and a short car ride to the city center but the hotel was gorgeous inside, rustic looking. Staff was so unbeleavabily great and helpful. Anything you need they provide. Snacks were put out late afternoon. A bus is available for guests with 15 minutes notice of trip. All in all a great place to stay when enjoying Ouro Preto!

Very good hotel in Ouro Preto. Extremely helpful staff helped us with everything (meal suggestions, what to see, etc). There's a van service to take guests to the city center. It's a 3-5 minute ride but critical because of the elevation of the town. Very good breakfast too.

The hotel staff are wonderfully hospitable and welcoming. Great value for the price. Large rooms. Perched on a hill, the hotel offers great views and is in walking distance from all the important cultural sites. Free shuttle service to the city center. Copious breakfast included!

Can't rate this hotel highly enough. It's old colonial, genteel with afternoon tea and a piano player. The staff is so helpful, nothing is too much trouble. Ouro Preto is well worth a visit and you won't do better than this little Pousada! The shuttle bus is a boon as the town is very hilly.

The location surprised us but when geting inside it was overwhelming beautiful. The shuttle to the center was very good.

Since I arrived Ouro Preto by car, and parking in the narrow streets of the historic city is very difficult, I was very happy to be able to leave the car parked at Pousada do Arcanjo and use the van service to and from the main square (Praça Tiradentes) in Ouro Preto, just a few minutes away.

I very much enjoyed staying at the Pousado do Arcanjo. The property is attractive and has a lot of nice traditional touches. The staff was friendly and willing to fight through their imperfect English (and my worse Portuguese). My room was large, as was the bathroom. The mini-bar was stocked with some interesting local items. WiFi worked great. The bed and bedding were a little dated, but not a problem. I liked the location of the hotel, an easy walk from the bus station--and importantly in Ouro Preto--with little change in elevation if you are carrying your bag. The hotel offers a complimentary van to the bus station or town center, but I never used it. The walk to the center takes about 15 minutes and is downhill. (The uphill walk back wasn't too taxing, I found, although Ouro Preto has some VERY steep climbs and descents). Breakfast at the hotel was great. My favorite thing about the hotel is the complimentary afternoon tea, served from 5 pm to 7 pm, replete with tasty cakes and snacks. A nice break before dinner after a long day of touring up and down the local hillsides.
