Careiro da Várzea accommodation from NZ$46

Great

We were in transit after a very early morning arrival in Manaus. This was a hotel we chose just for one night and we could not have been more pleasantly surprised. Yes, this is a European budget chain so the rooms are tourist class, inexpensively but practically furnished, spartan, cozy/small. Think entry level cruise ship cabin. But they are efficient, and all our rooms were meticulously clean. Beds were comfortable and all linens immaculately clean and pressed. Towels and showers were spotless. We had 3 rooms next to each other each with a double bed, a small water closet, and a shower. They looked exactly like the hotel photos The efficient layout puts the shower door and sink in the room so the facilities are readily available for 2 to get ready simultaneously. We had no issues with noise from outside or in between.rooms and the hotel was busy. Big pleasant surprise was the included breakfast. By US standards this was a surprisingly generous breakfast buffet with many options and superb coffee. NOT corporate plastic-wrapped portion-controlled factory produced processed food breakfast. Real food: fresh baked goods, fresh cut fruit, fruit salad, hot and cold local specialties all displayed in a clean and modern setting with comfortable seating. Overall this hotel was impressive. I don't know if I could stay here for two weeks but for a brief stay, this Ibis Budget can't be beat for value. Would choose again.

The staff at the front desk were amazing
