Beautiful rooms, ample breakfast (although I was the only guest in the house), close to Praca Tiradentes, but be warned it is in a very steep street down from by the corner of Praca Tiradentes and if you have a suitcase on wheels you will probably need  a taxi. 
I was there as the lockdown began to grip (churches closed, restaurants closing, flights getting cancelled) and the main host (the son of the house) was extraordinariy helpful, well beyond what anyone could expect, in helping me deal with a very difficult situation

extraordinarily helpful and generous, lovely place

My daughter, wife, and I stayed in a double room for a full week. We felt safe and welcome here. Breakfast was consistent and there are many options of traditional Brazilian fruits and fare provided. The maid will make a fresh plate of Pão de queijo for you when you arrive for breakfast. 

The short walk uphill to the nearby shopping and historical Tiradentes square provides some aerobic activity to help work off the pão de queijo you had for breakfast. Make sure to were athletic shoes to walk around Ouro Preto as the charming  cobble stones can be challenging especially for flat-landers like us. The soapstone carver/gemstone sellers market  is only a couple blocks away and is a great place to acquire actual made in Ouro Preto souvenirs. Bring a gemstone viewing glass if you intend to buy from the street vendors. The prices can be quite fair but small chips and flaws can be hard to see without one. 

The owner is like your typical grandmother figure and I could not help but grow fond of her. She speaks French Spanish and Portuguese I believe. Unfortunately for us she did not speak English but the manage Bruno does.  

The view from the elevated patio is quite panoramic. The vintage structure is quite interesting and the house is decorated with the art of the late Nello Nuno.   

My only complaint would be that the mattresses are a little firm, but it seems in hind sight this is common in Brazil. Visitors from the USA will find most Pousadas to be quite different than B&Bs they are used to. I loved the cultural experience this provided my family and we will be staying here again in the future.

Humble accommodations and a good value

My family and I stayed 3 days there and really liked it. Clean, wonderful staff and adorable breakfest. The view is superb, specially from the back of the hotel, where you can see the hills and historic churches.

friendly and charming

This B & B is incredibly charming. The rooms are attractively furnished and decorated. The courtyard is lovely and perfect for taking a break from visiting. Breakfast is served around a large, communal table. The location is excellent. The owner was very friendly and helpful with suggestions.
We stayed for four nights and I would definitely return if we were ever in the area again.

Lovely and charming

This typifies the best of this kind of simple  accommodation typical of Brazil.  Simple, spotlessly clean rooms around a courtyard in a  restored older building. with unbeatable location close to the sights in Ouro Preto, which is a really cool town.   Furnishings have a touch of real character.   The owners are extremely helpful, and provided me with a one sheet map that at one shot told you all you needed to know about Ouro Preto  - sights, directions, restaurants.  Good views from the elevated terrace.  The street is indeed extremely steep, like many in the town.  The value for money (R$90 per night, just over £30) is outstanding, especially as there is free (and speedy) WiFi, for which I have often been charged exorbitant prices in city hotels.

I should add that there is a very recommendable churrascaria (barbeque place) at the top of the street and to the left, down several flights of stairs, and some excellent, if rather exuberant bars on Rua Direta, off the main Praca Tiradentes, where you will have no trouble finding friendly company in which to practice your Portuguese!

Friendly and atmospheric, excellent value

I stayed in Pousada Nello Nuno with my wife, 2 boys, and my wife's parents, and we were very pleased with this establishment.  We had 3 double rooms.  The rooms were  basic - don't expect any luxury here - but they were very clean, and of ample size.  They were renovated with good taste, and recent works of art by the owner's family added color and charm.  Much of the furniture was old too, adding to the ambiance.

Breakfast was good, with typical local foods.  The owner and the staff were nice and responsive, and with a good knowledge of the town.

The location is excellent, close to the main square, which allowed walking to all the attractions, and a return to the room for refreshment whenever needed.  A short, steep street leads to the establishment.  This could be problematic for those with difficulties in walking, but it must be noted that many of the streets in Ouro Preto are similarly steep.  Please beware, as these streets turn slippery after any rain.  This is one city in which correctly choosing one's shoes is vital.

Parking was provided (and it was free of charge), which is not the norm in this city.  Even this was in good taste, as it was in an old stable turned into a place for cars.

Friendly, very clean, pretty, close to center, with colonial time atmosphere

We stayed in several rooms for 2 nights

+++
Located close to main square, down a steep slope
Good breakfast spread
Very helpful staff

Rooms are small and simple
Tiny bathroom
Hard mattress like a futon in some rooms

No real charm, but a good option if you’re budget restricted.
