Hotel Dan Inn Mar Recife Classic Nacional inn

The location of the hotel is right on a clean sandy beach. 1. The wifi was poor to fair. 2. The hotel seems to cater for mainly Brazilian guests, and therefore none of the staff spoke English or Spanish. This proved to be problematic,, particularly for an elderly lady from Argentina, who only spoke Spanish. She suffered a fall, dislocating her shoulder and cutting her knee. The hotel staff were unable to deal with the situation in a responsive way. The fact that the hotel did not have a first aid kit, to dress and clean her cut was disgraceful. Only the hotel manager could authorize the purchase of products to clean and dress the cut. Fortunately, one of my party was able to communicate in Portuguese and Spanish, and was able to assist the lady obtaining her medical insurance and accompanying her to hospital. 3. Breakfast was average, and the lack of a toaster was not good. Additionally, this is the first Brazilian hotel I have stayed in, where there was no member of the catering staff, producing one of the staple breakfast products - Tapioca. 4. A guest that had ordered room service, left the serving tray and partially eaten food outside their room and next to the lift. The tray remained there overnight and was still there at mid-day.

It looks like it's been in business for a while, not exactly fancy, very basic. But it's clean, buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner are very generous and delicious. It has a heated pool and gym center also.

I stayed here during World Cup, when it rained every day, so take my review with a grain of salt. The hotel itself was a regular hotel. It was clean, had a pool, and was on the beach. Unfortunately, I was never on the beach. The hotel staff were great. Very friendly and always willing to help. If you don't speak Portuguese, don't worry, because the staff were proficient in English. The included breakfast was good. The only negative thing I have to say about the hotel is that it was far away from the restaurants, bars, and nightlife.

I had low expectations going into my stay but the room at Hotel Dan was even worse. We didn't even take our shoes off or let anything touch the bare floor. The room was oppressively hot even with the a/c on all day. The shower floor left a lot to be desired and the toilet never worked properly. The room had a stench that we tried to remove but Febreeze can only do so much. That being said, the breakfast was nice and the hotel staff did their best to answer our questions and help us out. I don't recommend anyone stay here without a major overhaul.

We stayed at Hotel Dan Inn Mar in Recife in June. The roomrate was quite expensive but since it was during the World Cup it was no surprise. We stayed in a tripleroom and the room was really big, comfortable and clean and had a seaview. The room had a safetybox but wifi was not included, you had to go to the reception or the restaurant for free wifi. The bathroom was big but had a waterleakage and the toilet got broken after a few days. The toilet was repaired once the staff understood what was wrong. Most of the receptionstaff spoke almost no english at all. We only met one girl who could speak english. The staff didn´t seem to be used of non brazilian guests. The breakfast was really good, fresh fruit every day and everything you could ask for. The poolarea was small but nice. The location of Dan Inn is unfortunatelly not that good. It´s located in Guarapes, outside Recife. Sure it´s right on a beach. However this is not the main beach in Recife (Boa Viagem). You have to take a very very long walk to get to the main beach. The area around the hotel is very boring. There are one small restaurant, Senorita Garbo, 50 meters from the hotel but that´s it. You need to go by taxi everywhere due to the location. To be honest, even the main beach in Boa Viagem/Recife is a bit strange. The beach is nice but you could walk for half an hour on the beachpromenade without seeing a single restaurant. The hotel is quite nice but due to the location I would not recommend it.
