Hotel Grão Para
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, if you want a central, cheap base in Belém and care more about location and breakfast than about the room itself. Skip it if you need a cool, quiet room, because guests report old window air conditioning units that are loud and weak.

This is our Budget pick for Belém, a 3-star hotel at less than half the local median price. It suits independent travellers and couples who plan to spend the day out and want to walk to the main sights. The property lists free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk.
It is a poor fit for anyone sensitive to heat or noise. The only recurring complaint is the air conditioning: guests describe old window units that are very noisy and struggle to cool the room. In a hot city, that matters. Facilities are basic, with no pool, gym or restaurant listed.
Location and getting around
The address is Avenida Presidente Vargas, 718 - Praça da Republica - Centro, in what the booking data calls the top-rated area of Belém. The location score is 9.2 out of 10.
Guests say it faces Praça da República and is within walking distance of the market and the docks. Straight-line estimates put Theatro da Paz at about 0.1 km (1 minute), Our Lady of Grace Cathedral at about 0.7 km (9 minutes) and the Basilica of Our Lady of Nazareth of Exile at about 1.5 km (19 minutes). These have not been verified on foot.
What guests say
The score is 8.3 out of 10 from 3,863 reviews, the largest review count of our three Belém picks. On score alone it places joint eighth of 9 eligible properties, so it wins on price and location, not on comfort.
Location is the main compliment. Breakfast is the other: guests mention a wide choice of fresh fruit, juices, cakes and regional tapioca dishes.
The main complaint, as noted, is noisy and ineffective air conditioning from old window units.
Price and how it compares with our other Belém picks
The reference price was €47.33 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 Nov) for 2 adults in one room. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
That was 54% below the sample median of €103.44 a night. Transamerica Executive Belém Aeroporto, our Best Value pick, was €109.33 with a 9.1 score and 3 stars. Tivoli Maiorana Belém Pará Hotel, our Luxury pick, was €180.03 with a 9.1 score and 5 stars. Grão Para costs well under half of either, but scores 0.8 points lower.
Breakfast is listed as continental and buffet. Whether it is included in your rate has not been confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 hotels in Belém. After reserving the upscale choice, this had the lowest eligible reference price. An 8.3 score from almost 3,900 reviews and a 9.2 location score made it a safe budget choice despite the air conditioning complaints.
