O hotel deveria ter vidros duplos pois para aqueles que estão nos quartos em frente à praia ouve-se muito barulho dos carros e das pessoas conversando. Deveria haver um cesto de lixo para materiais recicláveis. No mais foi tudo tranquilo e ficam as críticas para a melhoria.

We had a great time there. The staff has some of the kindest people we’ve met. The hotel is very well located on the beach and closed to many restaurants, bars, and pharmacies, grocery stores. The building is a little bit on the older side but very clean. The only thing I would say wasn’t the best is the isolation in the rooms. It wasn’t uncommon for us to get waken in the morning by people in the hallway but besides that we really enjoyed our stay and thank the staff for their amazing work. Would absolutely recommend.

Great property ideally situated in the heart of Copacabana. The staff provide excellent service, helpful recommendations and are multilingual. There are stunning views of the beach and even Cristo Rey from our rooms and especially from the rooftop pool. I felt safe staying there, plus loved the access to nearby restaurants, shops and cafes.

Stay was ok. Rooms were clean but dated. AC makes lot of noise and there was dirt smell. Think due to old AC. Food, location and other amenities are 5 star. Roof top pool with bar and great views.
