had an amazing view from my room of sugar loaf, the area was fairly centric, Uber was around $6.50 -$8.00 to Copacabana beach and most other areas. breakfast was pretty good, and the front desk team was friendly and helpful, and they spoke English quite well. the facilities have a Spa and a Gym. I didn’t get around to use them but they did look very clean.

I thought it had a pool but it didn’t (though not their fault I realize ) . the bar staff didn’t know how to make a simple cocktail without calling someone. (didn’t even know how to make a margarita, cuba libre or their menu items like a Moscow mule…) there were little bathroom flys in the shower which was kinda gross to me. but apparently its normal in all of Rio. some of the linens they used for my bed were pretty beat up, they had little holes in them, mind you they did look clean.

The staff was very nice and helpful and fluent in English. The breakfast was very good and had a variety of options. You can use the well equipped lobby to work. The closest Metro Station can be reached easily walking.

Our room was pretty noisy as it was just next to the elevator. Additionally the window was facing a very small aisle which had many air condition machines. This was very loud as well. As it was facing the small aisle the wall was just opposite the window and there was only little sunlight reaching the room. There is a whirlpool in the hotel. Unfortunately, it is a little dirty.

Fine! But was unclear if there was to be a 'main' offering--eggs, omelettes, french toast, or whatever. Seemed not on the first two days, but then there was a tray of scrambled eggs on the third. So perhaps this might be "spotlighted" a bit more.

There is no dresser in the room, and the only place to put underwear, &c is on the shelf in closet-- which is high up and may not be comfortable for some guests. So perhaps this might be adjusted somehow. ALSO-- the air conditioning was excellent, but cool enough that I had to ask for an additional blanket, which was provided. Perhaps this might be anticipated by having that extra blanket already in the room in case it is needed.

Location is fantastic and staff is extremely friendly. The wi-fi was inconsistent and weak. Lastly, the preferred taxi company recommended by the property staff overcharged the ride to the airport. The last coment was not directly related to the property, but relevant, given it was their recommendation. All in all, we were satisfied and would stay again at this property.

See comments above.

location is perfect and safe! right In botafogo with numerous bars and restaurants around. the room was clean and what was shown in pics. the breakfast was good better than what I had in most hotels in Brazil. the breakfast staff was very kind and friendly.

the guy at check in was very rude. took forever to check in coz he wanted payment upfront. my credit card was already updated in Booking.com and usually I just check in smoothly ans my card is charged. then my card wouldn’t swipe at their machine for some odd reason and I told them I would get cash from atm later. after much standing around tired they said ok! making guests wait for so long was not ok. after wards they kept calling me in thr room when I was showering for payment. it was very bad ans not what I expected despite being a member with their hotel chain. when I stepped out I came back with the cash to pay. but it left me with bad experience with Novotel

Great location, easy to go anywhere. lot’s of place to eat around, grocery store, drug store, move theater, mall . Everything walking distance. Great breakfast at the hotel, however if you go later it may run out of few delicious food. Gym was very convenient too with hot tub and sauna.

The power outlet is 220w be aware in case you have any equipment not comparable

The location is great. The interior is nice.

The bar is overpriced having the supermarket option around the corner. The special requests and an early check-in in my case was a joke: nobody cares really. The room service girl was indifferent selling me $30 wine like I called her for nothing. All in all a bit more respect could do better.

breakfast, breads and tapestries were made in hotel's kicthen, very good. Airconditioner functioned very well floor and room.

when we asked to in charge of recepction why we had not allowed to purchase ticket for Pao de Azucar by web, unfortunately we have not received adequated reply.

The location is ok, near the Corcovado and the Botafogo shopping. It has a Pharmacy and a supermarket besides. excellent view. Secure and Family place.

Beach in front is not for swiming

The staff were great.

Odd. There was no soap in the shower. Just next to the sink (shower gel provided in fixed dispensers). Could never figure out how to turn on the lamp by the desk.
