Top hotels in Ouro Preto
Pampulha Lieu Hotel
Overall it ok, but the internet was not very helpful, we had a lot of trouble keeping connected. Unstable internet. Room keys had to be reprogrammed almost all the time. They were not programmed once for the entire time we were there. Pretty inconvenient to have to go several times to front desk ...

Hotel Esplanada
The breakfast is very good; you have juices, coffee, fruit, and eggs. The room is just adequate for the price I paid, although the facilities are a bit dated. The area around the hotel is a bit unsafe at night.
