When I first arrived I could not believe how amazing the view was. The lobby is decent - the staff is friendly - the bartenders make an awesome caipirinha. The rooms are below average by US standards. Great view but the beds were a little hard, the furniture was dated and the fridge had exposed wires on the bathroom side... More

If you want an expensive hotel that has a great location and beautiful views of the beach and Leblon then choose this one. If however, you do not want to pay for everything ( breakfast, internet, oxygen, etc.) and want service from the front desk that doesn’t come with a snobby attitude, you may want to stay somewhere else.

It's certainly my worst experience for the last 10 years, while staying very frequently in hotels all over the planet!!! The hotel is old and needs to be completely renovated. Rooms are so noisy that I didn't manage to sleep without ear plugs. Wifi is a disaster: this is very expensive for a low speed with a difficult access in... More

I spent 3 nights in Rio and I was able to get a deal from Expedia in this hotel which is located in the best neighborhood of the city and is situated in front of the ocean. We were able to get a room with a lateral Ocean View of Leblon's beach which was amazing. In general, the hotel provided... More

The hotel sits in front of one of Rio's most beautiful beaches, walking distance to great restaurants, and you can even take the 583 bus across the street that will take you directly to Corcovado or Christ the Redeemer. I did my research before and reserved an updated deluxe room. Most of the... More

Having read previous reviews, I thought I might be disappointed, however this wasn't the case.Yes the room was on the small side, however perfectly adequate and clean, and the view over the ocean more than compensated for the size. The desk staff were all very helpful, as were the porters/ bellboys/ , with one exception. Without doubt, the breakfast served... More

I stayed in this hotel for one night by myself. It has an amazing location, right on Leblon beach which is an incredibly safe, clean and lovely neighborhood. I stayed in a junior suite on the 23rd floor with a view of the ocean which was wonderful. I fell asleep to the sound of the waves which was so nice.... More

Recently stayed at this hotel for three nights. I arrived early and had to wait until about 2:00pm to check into my room, as the hotel was full. So if you are arriving early, as some overnight flights to Brazil generally do, be prepared to store your luggage at the hotel and go out for breakfast, sit on the beach,... More

i had a shor business-trip, but i enjoyed to stay in front of the beach. Very gentle employees, great breakfast-buffet.. The rooms are spacious ad clean, nice view on the ocean the elevator is a bit slow.. if you are in an upper-floor you need a bit of patience..
