Just returned from Rio and will remember this hotel for the very helpful staff, cake for breakfast, clean facilities and roof-top bar with sea-view. The rooms were clean if a little dated but free wi-fi was always available and fast. The bed was too hard for my liking and I could hear toilet being flushed from other rooms as well... More

Good things: Excellent breakfast, cooperative reception staff & good location. However, their Rio shuttle service driver are with attitude & really rough. Hotel room are small especially 811 where we stayed. Bed is really only for one person, plus I am 5' 10", legs go out of bed on length. Wifi too slow & never worked properly at 8th Floor.... More

This place is a bit better than 3-star but not up to 4. The rooms are not very big and cramped for storage with two of us on a 9-week trip around the world. However, the staff are very welcoming and keen to help with any problems. The rooms are clean and the daily room cleaning service is excellent. The... More

Short walk to Copcabana beach. Handy to restaurants. We mainly ate at hotel due to large menu selection at reasonable price. Not far from modern shopping mall, although prices were a little high. Would stay again.

Of course it's really expensive but let's say that's the price for Rio (even if it's much higher than Paris for example). Normally, even for half (or even fifth) the price I would give it a minimal rating but certainly around here you can do worse. Room is ok, clean, plenty of toiletries. As others noticed it might get noisy... More

Went to Carnival and stayed at this hotel. Nothing to write home about really, but it was very affordable compared to the prices everywhere else. They offered a basic room with two beds looking out toward the street. The rooms were old and a bit tattered. The roof top offers views that are very nice, and a pool. The bathroom... More
