Hotel was also in a great location, couple blocks from the beach. They booked our tours, for a no hassle trip. Also the tour for the soccer game, that was a unique experience, bring ear plugs- really.
Over all our stay was great..

The location was convenient, but the street wasn’t the nicest and was about a block from a night club/strip club. The rooms were quite outdated. The bathrooms smelled a bit and while mostly clean, were not up to par for a 3-4 star hotel. The one nice part was the rooftop view. Check in and check out took longer than most of the hotels we stayed at in Rio/Brazil.

5 min walk to Copacabana Beach. Near lots of stores and restaurants. You can book tours directly through the hotel and they make it super easy for you. The bar and pool on the roof has a great view of the beach. Rooms and a bit outdated but it was a quick overnight stay so it wasn’t a big deal.

This hotel was amazing! I was nervous after booking it as i saw a lot of bad reviews. The rooms were clean, the staff was amazing and the location is perfect! Carlos at the front desk upgraded our room and made check in a breeze. The roof top pool is also amazing. I definitely would recommend this hotel.

For the money this was a decent hotel. A little too far back from the beach, especially for walking back at night. Staff were friendly. The pool area was definitely lacking in ambiance.

The property itself was very nice but the lobby didn’t have a welcoming smell. It looks like they were in the process of some construction and above I notice some water damage stains. The rooms itself was great except the bathroom. Bathroom was clogged and the housekeeper did not change towels. Toilet was very loud and not pleasant. There was only one front desk staff that was friendly otherwise the others didn’t seem to care about concerns. The pool was also very small.

i did not like how they charged me extra for checking into my room. ALso at the end of the stay they chased us down for a payment. I think in the future you should just charge the cards on file instead of waiting for someone to check out. I didnt like the fact we cant bring people into the hotel room. They threaten to call the police over inviting people to our rooms when wqe are staying there.I saw other people bringing people in and they didnt say anything.
