Excellent hotel in an outstanding location. We only stayed for one night, but everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, the bar served excellent cocktails at reasonable prices, and the location couldn’t be better—right by the beach in a very safe area with a visible police presence. It was the perfect base for exploring Rio. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

The front desk staff was very helpful. It’s in the perfect location in Rio. It’s at the Apex of Ipanema Beach and Copacabana Beach. The rooms were a bit small, but had everything that I needed. I would also recommend a room with a view. The courtyard view is facing another apartment.
