Room was.OK . There was a.leak in the bathroom and they never showed to fix the safe. Bell hop and cleaning lady very attentive so two the counter guys, but the rest of the counter guys were not rude but appear very uninterested on their jobs. The location was good and the free breakfast was excellent. As for the Copacabana beach it was much cleaner and welcoming that the one on Ipanema. Uber taxis were very reasonable.

The hotel location is fantastic - just a short walk away from Copacabana beach. However, the building could be better maintained. Our bed was clean and orderly but the room showed definite signs of wear and there was mold on the bathroom ceiling.
