Close to airport, about 20 Brazilian Real for a taxi.
The people are friendly. I don’t speak any Portuguese but got along just fine. I ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel and enjoyed both.
The grounds are nice to walk around and relax. The pool was closed. The Wi-Fi works well which was nice as I had a lot of work to do while there.
Parking is available too.

Nice hotel to stay for one night. Service is really friendly, but there is no atmosphere. Large restaurant with extensive breakfast. A stroll in the neighborhood is not recommended in the evening; it's a bit creepy.
Note to hotel: please don't start mopping the floors at 6 in the morning. Or try not to bump into the walls while mopping, thank you.

We have stayed in Hotel Vale Verde several times. It is not downtown, but near the airport and suits us because it is convenient to the University of Mato Grosso do Sul where we have colleagues. It is not a fancy place, but is very comfortable and convenient. The rooms are clean and well appointed. Good showers. The rooms vary in size, so be specific about what you need, size and number of beds etc. The breakfasts are excellent, and the restaurant also has lots of choices for lunch and dinner. The staff are very helpful and friendly, and a few of them speak very good english. The garden is a big asset, the gym is excellent, and the pool, although small, is very pleasant. The laundry service is the fastest we have ever encountered. Wifi is excellent. On two weekends there were large groups associated with sports events staying at the hotel. Of course this made the hotel very busy, but everything was well-managed and our needs were not overlooked. We can also recommend an excellent fish restaurant - Casa do Peixe - located 10 min walk from the hotel.
