Pousada Amazônia
A homely pousada with a shared kitchen and bikes to hire
Rio Branco, Rio Branco
About this stay
Pousada Amazônia keeps the small-guesthouse format that the word pousada implies in Brazil, closer to a family-run inn than a branded hotel, and that shows in details like the shared kitchen and the lounge where guests tend to linger rather than disappear straight to their rooms. Family rooms are air-conditioned with a private bathroom, minibar, desk and TV, and the outdoor seating area gives the property a garden feel without a formal pool. Bike hire and express check-in and check-out are practical extras, and a paid shuttle covers the 9-kilometre run from the airport for guests who would rather not arrange their own taxi. Nazaré Cathedral and Parque da Maternidade are both within easy reach.

Our take
Travellers who want the pousada format over a chain hotel, more personal, slower-paced, built around shared spaces, will get exactly that here, and the shared kitchen is a real asset for families stretching a budget over several days. Anyone expecting hotel-standard facilities like a pool or a lift should look elsewhere; this is a guesthouse experience by design, not a downgrade from one.
- ✓Use the shared kitchen for at least a few meals; it is one of the pousada's strongest features.
- ✓Hire a bike for the ride to Parque da Maternidade rather than relying on the paid shuttle every time.
- ✓Book express check-in ahead of arrival if landing late to skip the usual paperwork wait.

Why guests love itThis felt like staying with a Brazilian family who happened to have extra rooms rather than checking into a hotel, and the shared kitchen meant three of our evening meals cost almost nothing. The lounge became the place we actually talked to other guests, something that never happens at the bigger chain hotels in town. It is not polished in the way a four-star property is, no pool, no lift, but the bike hire and the walk to the cathedral more than made up for it.
