Basic rooms, but clean and for the most part comfortable. My only complaint was that there was no apparent way to turn off the air conditioner so the room was too cold for my liking. The staff was friendly and helpful, and some of them spoke English. The hotel is in an excellent location, situated just a few minutes walk from either Ipanema Beach or Copacabana Beach. Surrounded by plenty of nice restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and shopping. The breakfast was stellar! Literally everything you could think of and all fresh. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something affordable, and you can’t beat the location!
