“Don't expect much except good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Rather small and worn out hotel in Rio within walking distance to Copacabana. The hotel lobby is nice – small but clean and you can read newspapers over cup of coffee. The rooms on the other hand are not so comfortable even though they are relatively large. The bathroom is pretty basic, no comfort and not too clean. The same goes for the rooms – not to clean (we had to share our room with some ants) and in need of refurbishment.

The neighbourhood is safe during the day but you’re not recommended to go out during the night. I had no problems going across the street to buy some soft drinks but the locals seemed to be surprised by my presence.

The hotel has good location and reasonable price for Rio and if you’re not expecting too much and are satisfied with only basic comfort you should be fine.

“Good hotel for the price in Rio”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel in our trip to Rio to attend to Paul McCartney concert last May 2011. The hotel is located in Copacabana, the rooms are quite small and during the night it was possible to fell the cold inside the room (yes, cold in Rio, it was May). The breakfast was this typical brazilian with fruits, cooked ham, cheese and brazilian "french bread". The hotel also has a parking to which you need to pay and as it was cheeper rent a car to go to the hotel and in the next day go back to the airport than take a taxi we did it, as normal in Brazil you will let the car with someone from the hotel who will park it for you, if you need the car late you need to take it at the garage that is almost 100 meters away of the hotel

“Good price for Copacabana”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

Good price for Copacabana. The Hotel was clean and the breakfast was good. Staff was very kind and helpfull. The parking is separeted from the hotel, 100 meters distance from the main entrance, but looks safe. I stayed just one night there and had no problem with noises. The rooms looks old but it was ok and clean. Good for a short stay.

“Recommended place to stay at copacabana!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

You pretty much have anything you need at apa hotel. The rooms are clean and not too small, there is a good breakfast (cheese, ham, fruits, different breads, ...) and you can find a minibar on your room. Besides, you can ask for tours at the reception but make sure to bargain as they do charge quite a bit more (110 for a city tour, we found the same offer for 70 in the streets, so we got it for a lot less). the laundry service delivers the same day but expect to pay a little more here as well. All in all, a great place to stay if you're looking for something basic and affordable!! Close to the metro and the beach, too!

“ok for the price and area”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

A little old, looks it and smells it. Not exactly cheap, but for the prices in Copacabana these days the place is a bargain. Near enough to the beach and the underground, and away from the hustle of Atlantica.
