Stayed at the Melia Higienopolis in July 2005 with some colleagues, one of whom stayed for three weeks at this hotel.

It was a great value -- our rate was about US$50/night, and high speed internet was only US$4/day which is exceptional. The breakfast buffet was included in our rate and it was good. The location is very good, and Higienopolis is a great area where you can feel safe walking around, even at night. There are food options nearby, and for anything more adventurous, you can grab a taxi. The taxi stand is reliable and if they're not available, there's a stand right down the street.

Overall, I can't think of anything I didn't like about my stay. The staff was friendly, the rooms were nice. I'd definitely stay here again -- and in fact tried to when I returned in October, but it was booked solid. No surprise...
