Although we only stayed one night we really enjoyed our stay. We arrived there after an 8 hour transfer and it was just what we needed. The rooftop bar has the most incredible views and we ordered room service and it was delicious. As a coeliac I really appreciated the menu showing a selection of gluten free items.

As an American that spoke NO Portuguese, my stay was still amazing. Everything from the menus to the documents in the rooms were in both Portuguese and English. The only thing in the room that was not both was the book that explains the services at the hotel. But honestly, that was minor as i could easily translate the pages with my phone. The buffets on Saturday and Sunday for lunch is incredible. My only complaint was my shower head in my bathroom was older and if it had options like pulse or rain, it would have felt much better on my sunburn. Oh, and please explain the blue card to foreigners, it took me a few minutes to realize that was for power and air conditioning. 😊 I will come back again. Thank you to the entire staff. Obrigado.

I have Been in Rio many many times since 1988. I happened to stay at this Hotel, in 2000. we had 3 rooms, then. To my surprise the lobby was the same, but 25 years older, so was the room and Furniture It seems to me that the owners, Are very, Very Cheap! They haven’t spend a penny since my last stay.( Staff were very nice, the only plus!) AC made so much noise that I ended up turning it off, so I can sleep with ( heat was preferred over noise!) The Best way to describe it? THET CHARGE WITH , $, $€, &£, AND spend Rials 😜 I DONT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL!
