“Dream Penthouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2005
5
people found this review helpful

It was the perfect holiday! Everything worked so nice! The penthouse I´ve stayed had it´s own terrace and pool. I have no words to explain what it´s like to watch the sunset in Rio from the penthouse.

I also loved Barrabella hotel´s facilities: I only had to cross the street to go to the beach, everything was clean and working nicely. The location is also very secure. I just loved it so much that I´m seriously thinking of moving to Brazil when I retire!

I´ve also rented the penthouse from "atbrazilstyle" website, not sure if it was the same penthouse, though.

“NOT a good value”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2004
4
people found this review helpful

Planned to spend 5 days there, stayed only overnight and went elsewhere. There is actually a lot wrong with this hotel. Here are a few of my complaints:
1. In a 2-bedroom suite only one of three air conditioners was wroking.
2. Floors were dirty. Carpeting apparently had not been cleaned for a very long time.
3. Paperwork and procedures are ridiculous. Had to fill out a separate registration form for each individual. Deposit on credit card was recorded manually.
4. Employees not particularly helpful.

I have seen this hotel rated a 3-star. NOT!! I would give it a 2-star, at most. This is definitely not a good value, in my opinion.
