“Very nice”

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, overall excellent service. Breakfast was really good, had a great selection of food in the buffet. Our room was very small but nice and everything we needed. We spent most of our days out and about so the smallness of the room didnt bother us too much. However we did find the noise level in the early mornings was quite loud as there seemed to be quite a bit of activity in and out of the rooms as if we were next to the cleaners quarters - not sure if this was the case though. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

“Nice hotel in Rio”

This is a Brazilian hotel--the rooms are small. Don't stay here if you are expecting the Marriot. However, if you want a safe, clean, convenient place to stay with employees that are very helpful, a good breakfast, this is a good place. The beach is two blocks away, it's a safe area. The pool on the roof is very small but the space is gorgeous with fabulous views and a nice place to relax.

“Would def go back!!”

The hotel reception were very helpful, polite and gave fantastic advice. The rooms were very comfortable and the hotel was very nicely decorated. Id say the only negative on our stay was that the pool was very small but other than that I would recommend the plaza to anyone!

“very nice hotel”

I was very impressed, the hotel was really nice and clean, but especially the employees at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. Brazilians have a very good costumer service. Breakfast was really good. The location is not really the best of rio, but is close enought to a lot of places and taxis are cheap. i definetly recommend this hotel.

“Wonderful”

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. We were one block from the beach and you could see the ocean from the rooftop poolside/bar area! Definitely a local's beach mixed with tourism! The staff were so helpful, friendly and overall amazing. We felt as if we were leaving friends on our last day!

“Nice and Quiet”

This was an extremely nice hotel that had employees who were courtious and friendly. Be sure about what room you are getting. A standard room is very small. Overall, a nice and safe place to stay.

“Excellent Value for Money”

We had a fabulous time in Brazil which was made all the better by this hotel. The staff were very friendly, the breakfast was tasty with a large variety of just about everything. The roof top bar and pool were just right to wind down from a day out on the streets sightseeing. If we returned to Rio we would definitely stay again.

“A great hotel in a city of shocking hotels.”

A very safe, comfortable hotel - one of Rio's top. The staff spoke excellent english and were always trying to help. The rooms were very nice, spacious, cool, clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was delicious. The hotel would have beneftted from being on the beach, however the walk to the beach was easy and quick on a well-lit and busy street. Being on one of the main streets in Rio the hotel was safe to walk to even after dark.

“Great Service”

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel for our first trip to Rio. The staff was very helpful and friendly and accomodated English speaking travelers well. We had requested through Expedia that a single roll-away bed be added to our room for our daughter and although it wasn't guaranteed, our room was set up exactly as we had requested when we arrived with a King Bed and the twin roll-away. We had the executive size room which offered a larger space and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast included was also a nice spread. The location is just a short walk to the beach and close to everything. I'd highly recommend the hotel.

“Can't beat the staff”

Room was small and had to work with manager to get the king I reserved, but the staff was very friendly and helpful. Felt very safe (I took 5 high school students for a competition and we had a wonderful time). Subway was clean and safe (riding during the day)--again thanks to the recommendation of the staff.
