Great place to stay in Copacabana. Beach is just a walk a way including easy walk to Ipanema and Leblon. If you like to relax and swim at the beach or even a day tour of Rio, this is a great place to stay.

They have an amazing breakfast there! The rooms are pretty good! The elevator on the left kept getting stuck though, and me, and my fiancé were stuck in the elevator for 30 minutes and nobody could hear us.

Well maintained hotel, close enough to the beach many restaurants in the arounds. My breakfast was included, it was healthy and with options, good way to start the day. Front desk guys and bell men always helped. Cleaning ladies always smiling. Good option for short stays.

Loved it! First time in Rio, very close to the beach and the buffet that is a few blocks away (I can’t remember the name) that has filet mignon was absolutely amazing! Also the breakfast and fruit juice at the hotel was great :)

In general it looks like a decaying premise. The room was spacious with a king bed, not required from me. No adequate space for sitting to work with a computer. Only one very rustic very high small table with two much above the average sitting benchs very unconfortable and dangerous to sit. Television had very few cable channels and the worst ones. In summary I would not recommend this hotel even for an enemy.

A clean hotel, not fancy but great walking location to Copacabana Beach, bars and restaurants.
The thing that makes this hotel have a terrific star rating is the staff. Well organised with reception staff going the extra mile, with assistance and care about their works. The front of house show that they are there to help, the person looking after bags, the staff at breakfast are the same.
