Accommodation in Joao Pessoa

Accommodation in João Pessoa covers the full range, from hostels and basic lodging clustered around bus stations to luxury resort hotels. You can sometimes succeed in finding places to sleep for as little as R$15 a night, but, more realistically, a clean double room in a one-star hotel will set you back upwards of R$25-40.

As is so often the case, single travellers get a bad deal, usually paying almost as much as the cost of a double room. In whatever category of place you stay, in tourist spots - both large and small - over New Year and Carnaval, you’ll be expected to book a room for a minimum of four or five days.
