It’s a good hotel. The room is big and nice and staff is super helpful, pool is good.
Breakfast is good as well. The area is close to the beach in Copacabana, at night it might get creepy, but ok still.
My only critic is the room at some points during the day smelled like pipi, so did the AC.

The hotel is dated and tired, but worth the price we paid. We had hot tub suite (e.g. jacuzzi bath, not an actual hot tub). The room was huge, but stripped of everything. No artwork, two plastic cups, worn corners, stained upholstery, not even a cork screw. It felt abandoned. With a little care it could actually be very cool because it’s so vintage that it’s almost back in style. Jacuzzi bath was nice, but all of the shampoo and conditioner was bolted to the wall in the shower… so if you wanted an actual bath you had to run back and forth between the two for soap. Front desk staff was friendly, but a little old school with the hard sell on tours and restaurant recommendations that are clearly tourist joints they have an agreement with. Also clearly an organized tour group stop, so the lobby area was often full of luggage and large groups of people waiting to board a bus. Great location though, and affordable.

Ok Option for Carnivale

It was a decent location near transportation and a good walk to beach. Breakfast options didnt change much and there was often no seating and running out of some of the foods but we were there during Carnivale when extra busy. This place was a good price during this time but i would choose elsewhere if i came again.

A good stay 8/10

The location of the hotel is pretty nice, at least for us, not far from the beaches (3 of them). Close to Subway aswell.
The hotel is a bit old and dated, one of the lifts was not working, but everything was pretty clean. Room was ok, decent beds, but def not the best i’ve slept at. No soundproof at all so if you want to sleep and there are noisy guests around (our case) you are in trouble.
Staff was good but could have dealt with our problem mencioned earlier in a better way, despite my wife telling them that plenty of times (like 3 at least).
Breakfast was pretty good.

Unfortunately the hotel os very old and is in very poor condition. The bathroom had black mold in the grout and had a smell of sewerage. Our A/C unit leaked water and was extremely loud so we had to change rooms.
The next room had a plugged toilet…. Fortunately the front desk people were very accommodating. I’m guessing they are doing some renovations because we could hear the very loud sound of tools and workers early in the morning.
The location and water pressure were the only positives and of course good staff. We would not stay here again and it hurts me to write this but I have to be honest about our stay. No value here considering the price.

While the best thing about this hotel was it’s daily breakfast, that was the only good thing about it, in my opinion. The property was partially renovated. Some rooms were completely renovated others were not. Electrical outlets didn’t consistently provide use for changing devicesI was in one of the partially. The towels were dingy and looked unclean. The television remote was not reliable…overall, the hotel was subpar in my opinion. I would never stay there again and would not recommend it to my family or friends.

Decent hotel in a good area. Could be improved.

The hotel is a little bit run down. Front desk staff was friendly.
Breakfast was nice. Selection for dinner was a bit fast food-ish.
The room - well, the beds are not much more than a piece of plywood with a sheet. Super hard and uncomfortable. My body was aching all week.
Other than that, it is clean and the bathrooms are nice.

Hidden gem, a distance from the beach

The hotel is set back a way from the beach so it's a good 15/20 minutes walk to Ipanema Beach and surrounding nightlife. The room was surprisingly large, as was the bathroom. My only criticism would be the bed sheets were woefully thin and worn with tiny holes.
Staff friendly, helpful and engaging. Breafast was served in the large dining area and was standard fare of 'cake', bread, ham/cheese slices and fruit. Juice and coffee.
Quiet area at night, immediately surroundings had shops close by. We'd stay again as was also good value for money.

Money Missing From My Room

We had $100 USD taken from our luggage ($300R). When I told the front desk clerk his response was \"Why didn't you use the safe?\" They advised they would look at the cameras and found ONLY the chambermaid entered the room. They advised they would make a decision and get back to us. I asked TWO different times AFTER they advised me they would make a decision (pay me the money back). However, BOTH times the clerks didn't seem to have an idea what was going on. Even though there was a note taped to the front desk counter top.

I've traveled ALL over the world for the past 30 years and NEVER had money taken from my room.

Overall this hotel was pretty good for the price. It was about a 5 minute walk to Copacabana beach and 15 min walk to Ipanema beach.

The room was clean, the a/c worked great, and bathroom had ample space. I enjoyed the breakfast every morning with the fresh fruit which was also a plus. There are several places to eat around the hotel and a couple grocery stores in walking distance you can pick up cheap water and snacks.

The only issue we had was that the wifi signal in our room was hit or miss so a lot of the time we found ourselves in the lobby surfing the internet where the signal is great.
