The location is perfect. It’s just 2 blocks from the beach. Drugstores, supermarkets, pizza restaurants just a few steps away. Elevators worked great and have a decent size. The breakfast is the best perk, great variety of options. The pool on the rooftop is a huge plus too

The gym needs maintenance. Machines are broken. The rooms are indeed old. Bed sheets need change. I had booked a room with 2 beds and was given a one king bed room. Since our room had a window we could open side to side and had no smell we decided to stay there and ignore the fact that they gave us the wrong room. They do not speak English so come prepared to learn Portuguese We came during the Madonna concert so hotel was packed do not wait for the last hour to have breakfast you risk doing a huge line

Location

It was the very first time I see a hotel charge to hold your luggage for few hours. This was a ridiculous decision to make money out of Madonna’s show weekend. I have been in hotels ranging from 1* to 6*, and this was the first time a hotel charges for this service which should obviously be a courtesy. And this was not only after checkout but also for those who arrived early and had to wait to check in. Of course they were also charging for early check-in and late check-out, even though many rooms were already ready when we arrived at 11:00. Ridiculously making money out of nothing and nowhere else in the world charges for holding a bag for 2 hours!

The breakfast was excellent/ front desk felt with any issues with speed/ great shower and pool( when it was clean) - great cleaning staff / all round customer service. Towels always clean and fresh- location.

Use of disinfectant to wash the floor of the room daily. Cleaning the breakfast table with a more hygienic cloth - instead of a damp/ dry cloth pulled from their pockets. Net curtains in the restaurant dirty/ falling down. Pool was not leaned / sanitised during the course of the day despite a lot of usage. Had to ask for bedding to be changed after ; days!

The hotel looks exactly like the photos and is clean and comfortable.

The hotel is extremely busy at peak breakfast times and has a long queue. Even at non-peak times, it is still very busy, even for a table for one person. The pool is smaller than expected but plenty of chairs/sunbeds. I had unexpected extra charges for storing luggage before checking in, and for water from the room.

Clean place, amazing location, many facilities

Not everyone knows English, there were some misunderstandings regarding the breakfast and room service. Every day I was ordering a coffee and the price was different, I didn’t understand why. Room service breakfast they were charging the full price, doubled up when breakfast was included. They could’ve at least charged me the original price and not double.

Breakfast was excellent. The cleaning people are soo sweet, I gave them something before I left. The location is very central. I enjoyed a lot the gym and the swiminpool. Cuba Libre cocktail is the best !

The Free Taxi given from Booking is impossible to be use. The Taxi stays 45 minutes after the plane has landed. You never can take your suitcase before the 45 minutes. For me it took maybe 1.5 hour to 2 hours to receive my suitcase. The Free taxi was gone. If you have NO suitcase, you can use the free TAXI. INFO: A Uber cost 40 Real A Taxi can be 200 to 300 Real for Gringos like me ! :) You will learn fast the prices. Next time I know !

We loved this busy and vibey hotel within easy walking distance of the Copacabana. We especially loved the rooftop pool with its 360 views of Rio and its friendly, easy-going vibe with visitors from across South America.

The only thing we found disappointing at this hotel was that there were NO options other than fruit at the extensive breakfast buffet. It would be so easy for the hotel to introduce some vegan options. But the guy at the front desk seem to laugh me off in quite a dismissive manner when I suggested this.

I loved the location as walking distance to Copacabana Beach. The shower power in the bathroom is amazing. Comfortable beds.

The staff at reception could have been more welcoming, even though they are super busy. It's being professional that can make a big difference. It can be very noisy with the room sink pipes when you use the cold water. It's very loud and annoying. Also, I find that some people staying there on your floor can be too loud too with slamming doors etc... I wish they had a kettle in the room.

The location is great, and the hotel is nice, large room. Breakfast is nice to.

I had a smell of mold in my room because the fan at the shower room didn't work. That wasn't so pleasant... Good to know that even if you ordered a room for 2 and you are single, once someone came to your room, no matter how long, you can't receive more visitors! Thay change another fee of 150$ rias! Please note!

There were two comfortable beds there with a great pillow. It was fairly close to the beach and there were some nice restaurants and coffee shops close by. The breakfast was plentiful and the staff nice.

I got in early to Rio very early and I was surprised that they charged to store the luggage for the day. It felt more like a tourist warehouse milling people through. The water in the fridge was expensive and would have been nice to have a bottle of water in the heat!
