Misleading

I was mislead, service such as transfer one of the reasons I booked this hotel, they do not offer that as state, they also do not have bath robes. They didn't answered my messages until 2 days before I had to check in. Bed is very hard, service was good once I arrived. Cleaning was terrible, there was black hair all over the floor my whole stay, I don't have black hair. I stayed 6 nights, they never changed my bed sheets. Breakfast they kept running out of food, plates and silverware. I wouldn't stay there again.

Nice hotel, just needs some updating

The hotel was in a good location (10 minute walk to the beach) and in a safe area. The hotel itself is nice but it does need some updating with minor repairs to get it looking in quality shape (repainting and caulking) The staff is all really friendly and accomodating and I would stay there again.

love the this hotel

Most hotels along Copa ad Ipanema are from the 60-70s including apartment buildings.But this is a modern hotel. Location was excellent but didn't feel comfortable walking around at night with my family. The daily breakfast was great and better than American hotels that include monotonous and plastic breakfast!

A great location. It was close to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The rooms were clean, but small. The breakfast offered a lost of variety, but the “hot” entrées, we’re cold/warm at best. The staff was very friendly and always helpful.
