The breakfast was adeqaute. It consisted of a variety of items to choose from like breads, coldcuts, cheese and fruits. The coffee was okay but the juice mix was watery and had way too much sugar. But the breakfast was sufficient to keep us going till after lunch time. The bedrooms were good although the one smelled of cigarette smoke. This was okay since they had informed us and we accepted the room on the premise that it was close to the other. The hotel's location was excellent - right in the heart of downtown and literally around the corner from a metro, a VLT (tram) stop and the Santa Teresa 'Bonde' terminal. Also it is a five min walk from the Selaron steps and the Lapa area and a 5 min drive (by taxi) to the famous Cafeteria Colombo (A+).

Look, the area does however seem a bit sketchy but we weren't harrased by the homeless people although they can become a bit nagging. The streets are somewhat dirty but it gives downtown Rio and Lapa with its old buildings a flair of decadence. The tourist attractios were somewhat pricey although worth the visit. We didn't go to Crhist the Redeemer statue this time because the last time it felt like we were victims of a scam having to pay about R$140.

location and value

should have 1 bilingual front desk agent on staff for tourists since using this platform. however all were friendly.

The area is definitely run down but convenient for centro business, sdu airport (10 to 15real taxi ride), or for visiting cinelandia. It is an old building, built circa 1940s, with an impressive atrium from 2nd to 17th floor. Unfortunately this wasted space causes the rooms to be small. Not much room to move around two single beds. Chic when built, marble and granite everywhere, but it has aged. It has been maintained but not with fittings of the same original quality, which give the rooms a rather cheap look. Everything worked, shower was hot with a decent pressure, and the room was well cleaned. Air conditioning effective but definitely not a modern silent running type. Decent breakfast included Staff helpful and friendly. Definitely good for a short stay. But rooms are too small for a long stay.

Location, value for money, rooftop with swimming pool

Breakfast could have a few more options They had issues with the internet and we had to wait for about 10 minutes to do the check out They charge 10 reais to store your bag

close to the American consulate where I was going . close to attractions like Arcos da Lapa, confeitaria Colombo and metrô - Nice breakfast and everything clean

the pool was closed for mantainance on Monday - the only day I had to enjoy . and kind of dangerous neighborhood at night

good location, if you are going for tourism is close to everything but far from the beaches what u can fix by getting an uber. Friendly staff and a good breakfast.

the elevator was very slow, the hotel has many floors and the lift didn’t accommodate the amount of people. We used the stairs most of the time but we were on the 10th floor what can be a bit tricky if you have any health complications.

The breakfast buffet was very good, room service was good. Plenty of hot water, shopping nearby, US Consulate 6 minutes away. The front desk people very helpful and courteous as well.

No place to park our car, only in a private parking station. The hotel should furnish parking even if they have to be accountable for the fee. We did get a discount for parking, but still.

Everything was great. Excellent staff, tasty breakfast, rooms are clean and comfortable and great pool. Nothing seems out of place and the Hotel is in a great location for tourists. 15 mins to Copacabana, 10 to the Christ of Redeemer and 5 mins from the bars at Lapa.

The poolside and rooftop are lacking illumination and lighting at night. And speaking of night, the streets are VERY CREEPY AND ABANDONED. You have to be extra alert walking at night. During the day is not so bad but I night I do not recommend.

central and reasonably priced for the holiday

new housekeeping staff weren’t very friendly due to language barrier as a regular guest they’ll normally call the front desk if they need help with translation

Location is very good.

We can listen to every sound coming from neighbor rooms. I had no view by the window. TV had very poor image quality and the speakers were not in a good shape. Bathroom has no shampoo.
