Everything was excellent. Great staff. You can book directly with the hotel (friends can also even if they are not staying in the same hotel). Amenities are great with a nice rooftop pool. The restaurant is five star food. The location is a 5 minute walk from Copacabana beach and an 8 minute walk from Ipanema beach.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is dated and tired, but worth the price we paid. We had hot tub suite (e.g. jacuzzi bath, not an actual hot tub). The room was huge, but stripped of everything. No artwork, two plastic cups, worn corners, stained upholstery, not even a cork screw. It felt abandoned. With a little care it could actually be very cool because it’s so vintage that it’s almost back in style. Jacuzzi bath was nice, but all of the shampoo and conditioner was bolted to the wall in the shower… so if you wanted an actual bath you had to run back and forth between the two for soap. Front desk staff was friendly, but a little old school with the hard sell on tours and restaurant recommendations that are clearly tourist joints they have an agreement with. Also clearly an organized tour group stop, so the lobby area was often full of luggage and large groups of people waiting to board a bus. Great location though, and affordable.

Ok Option for Carnivale

It was a decent location near transportation and a good walk to beach. Breakfast options didnt change much and there was often no seating and running out of some of the foods but we were there during Carnivale when extra busy. This place was a good price during this time but i would choose elsewhere if i came again.

A good stay 8/10

The location of the hotel is pretty nice, at least for us, not far from the beaches (3 of them). Close to Subway aswell. The hotel is a bit old and dated, one of the lifts was not working, but everything was pretty clean. Room was ok, decent beds, but def not the best i’ve slept at. No soundproof at all so if you want to sleep and there are noisy guests around (our case) you are in trouble. Staff was good but could have dealt with our problem mencioned earlier in a better way, despite my wife telling them that plenty of times (like 3 at least). Breakfast was pretty good.

Had a great stay at this hotel and keen to come back. The pool was lovely, the breakfast plentiful, cocktails delicious and well priced - just under 30 for a caprihinia. Good location for sunset or dinner options. Best of all were the staff who were super friendly and helpful, really appreciated them.

Unfortunately the hotel os very old and is in very poor condition. The bathroom had black mold in the grout and had a smell of sewerage. Our A/C unit leaked water and was extremely loud so we had to change rooms. The next room had a plugged toilet…. Fortunately the front desk people were very accommodating. I’m guessing they are doing some renovations because we could hear the very loud sound of tools and workers early in the morning. The location and water pressure were the only positives and of course good staff. We would not stay here again and it hurts me to write this but I have to be honest about our stay. No value here considering the price.

Nos quedamos en una suite. Muy cómoda, cama grande y para los niños nos acomodaron dos camas en el segundo ambiente. Muy linda y cómoda. El desayuno estaba bien, tenía una variedad aceptable. La piscina un poco pequeña. La ubicación uno de los mejores puntos. A tres cuadras de Copacabana o tres de Ipanema. Justo en el medio. Un hotel al que volvería

While the best thing about this hotel was it’s daily breakfast, that was the only good thing about it, in my opinion. The property was partially renovated. Some rooms were completely renovated others were not. Electrical outlets didn’t consistently provide use for changing devicesI was in one of the partially. The towels were dingy and looked unclean. The television remote was not reliable…overall, the hotel was subpar in my opinion. I would never stay there again and would not recommend it to my family or friends.
