ibis Recife Aeroporto

I have been traveling to Recife for last 10 years on business. I have stayed in this Ibis hotel a million times. Last stay was pre covid and latest stay was in May 2022. The hotel used to be my favorite hotel in Recife, but it has lost its touch. The problems 1. The room was FULL of mosquitos and these mosquitos were stubborn. It was almost impossible to swat them with hand. I used repellant but they had become immune to repellant. All night they were buzzing in the ears, during my 2 night stay. 2. There is a new car repair garage right at back of hotel. so if you are in say room 232 or 134 etc....you can hear this noise from early morning of car repairs and mechanics tallking, making it impossible to sleep along with the buzzing mosquitos. 3. when I arrived in room, toilet was very dirty with human excreta of previous guest still visisble. 4. The hotel's internet /wifi connection was dropping off every 5 minutes on its own. 5. When I arrived the front desk girl on duty at 0300 refused to speak Spanish or English and insisted on speaking only Portuguese. For me, this is unacceptable. that hotel staff not trained in a 2nd language. why hire these jokers, general manager/ceo of this hotel - public wants to know!!? Positives 1. Excellent location close to Recife airport 2. Good hot water in shower 3. hotel has excellent coffee selection to buy and sip in the morning. 4. Morning front desk staff is friendly. ( night staff was super rude) Overall, I do not recommend this hotel. I wiill NEVER return and I travel often to Recife. I hope you found my review helpful?

Did you ever wonder who stays in airport hotels? I did—as recently as a week ago, I had that very conversation with my wife. We returned to Recife Airport (REC) from a trip to Salvador, Bahia. When we got in, the city of Recife just got walloped with a month’s worth of rain in a little over a day. We left the airport, but every route out of the city was flooded and impassable. I made the executive decision that we had no choice but to sleep in the closest hotel. The Ibis Hotel Recife Aeroporto is right across the street from the airport. It’s also an Accor Hotel. There is another hotel nearby, but not nearly the same quality as Ibis and not even as close to the airport. The hotel is simple, modern, clean and cute. They have 166 rooms. The lobby and the room are modern; the beds are comfortable. They offer 24 hour kitchen service and their restaurant is open for dinner; breakfast starts as early as 4AM, which is a first for me, but good for travelers. The room had good water pressure, good air conditioning and a large-screen TV. The hotel doesn’t have either a gym or a swimming pool. Hotel employees were all very helpful and friendly. If you NEED to stay near the airport, I really recommend this hotel.

We stayed one night at the Ibis, early flight the following day. Very warm welcome ,reception staff very helpful and provided us with a map and lots of tips for our day in Recife. Not a big room,but,very comfortable bed, very clean and well ventilated bathroom. The hotel is a short taxi ride away from the center. We didn’t have the time for breakfast, but, it looked very good. I totally recommend this airport hotel.

The staff, the room, the food, and the wonderful decoration all made my stay at Ibis an iconic one. It reminded me of a hostel (young, vibrant), but better! Surely wasn't expecting such a high quality service and accommodation. They even had goiaba (my favorite fruit) in the breakfast buffet (which is super uncommon)!! The playlist that plays in the lobby and restaurant is a solid 8/10 as well. Can't go wrong with Jack Johnson at a beach city, can you? Kinda wish I'd stayed more, but that's okay. Either way, will definitely recommend to friends/acquaintances/family. Would certainly stay again.

I found the staff at ibis Recife to be completely professional and reliable. I needed some clothes cleaned, but returned earlier than noted on the paperwork. They were there early and the cleaning was what I expected. It's right across from the hotel and with plenty of taxis available right out the door.
