Great location, breakfasts
The location is excellent to visit the tourist sites like Pao de Azucar and Christo Redentor - short rideshare trips. Loved the breakfast at the restaurant on the 1st floor.
The room we got was good for 3 of us and had a sofa bed. We stayed in this property two different times. The bathroom in the 2nd visit was not so clean, was out of body soap.

Overall hotel looks nice. Location is excellent if you are not looking to be close to Copacabana. Front Desk staff could improve by at least smiling. They were so serious. Breakfast was excellent.

Loved this hotel and would stay again. I enjoyed the meal I had in the hotel restaurant and would certainly eat there again. I liked that this hotel was across the street from a beach. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice place, clean, close to everything. Supermarket, shopping options, and a lot of taxis could be found right at the entrance of the hotel. Highly recommend if you go to rio with or without kids.

Strongly recommend good location and great staff
Staff are the gold of the hotel. Very flexible at reception and extremely helpful.
Just a broken tap handle but all the rest was perfect. Great options of TV channels and bed and pillows very comfortable.

The hotel has a nice lobby, period. The corridors to the rooms smell bad (mold/ humidity). During my three days the same McDonnalds bag (with food) remained in the garbage can in the corridors. The rooms are old, walls are stained, floor scratched etc. The shower was good though. All and all not a great stay!

We liked the accessibility to shopping and transportation.
However, very disappointed with the following:
Only 1 bath towel for 2 occupants. No wash cloths provided. No shower gel provided but plenty of shampoo.
Electric kettle, cups and saucers, but no tea bags or coffee, no creamers or sugars. No listing in the room of numbers for restaurant or front desk. No menu for restaurant. No listing of local attractions/eateries/malls. NO IRON OR IRON BOARD! We had to BORROW and were admonished to return it in 40 MINUTES!!

Precisa cuidar da limpeza
Fiquei por 5 dias com esposa e 2 filhos. Localização extremamente conveniente. Opção para quartos para famílias. Café da manhã bom. Chuveiro ótimo. Mas o quarto apresentava muita umidade e a limpeza não era boa. O lixo da parte interna do quarto eles nem retiraram… vou avaliar se retorno. Se voltar, será pela conveniência da localização, próxima ao metrô….
