Advantages: Friendly, typical Brazillian city Disadvantages: Big City, easy to get lost
...I am a Brazilian and have lived in BeloHorizonte for a few months, in which time i had a good opportunity to explore the city. It is a big city with lots to do. However it is not an overly touristy city so it is harder to appreciate it if you are unfamiliar with the language and customs. The shopping in the centre is good, with many cheap products to be found. The city itself is quite hilly and leafy so is interesting to look around.

2. They confirmed my internet booking but on arrival were unable to provide the non-smoking room reserved and put me in a smoking room on a smoking floor. They offered NO REFUNDS even if I wanted to change hotel.
3. They promised to move me to a non-smoking room the next day, even told me the new room number -- but the next day they gave that room to another customer and told me to stay in the same room as the hotel was fully booked.
4. The staff were unable to DO anything except apologize which gets...
