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.

Great hotel, large rooms and good customer service. It's hard to find a good hotel in Rio for the money you pay, but this one is great and in a fab location. The breakfast has a large spread of food, rooms are very large and the hotel is really close to the famous copacabana beach. We arrived during Easter and... More

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

The price is high, but everything is good... breakfast, bedrooms, cleanliness, staff and mainly the location, in a very good point if you wanna enjoy the beach without take the car.
