This was a very good property. Nice and spacious rooms. Incredibly helpful desk staff. Breakfast was decent, a bit overpriced though. The views from the rooms aren't the best if that is something you are looking for. The air conditioner had some problems, but we never addressed the staff on it because it was our last two days here. Knowing them, they would have fixed it immediately or relocated us. Cleaning staff did wonderful, looked as clean as we first arrived everytime we came back from exploring Rio. My main complaint is the outside, there were many homeless people camping outside the property, lots of trash here and there. The area looks sketchy, boarded up buildings and lots of graffiti. I'd imagine a lot of people wouldn't feel safe here at night. If this is what it looks like here, I could only imagine how the residents of Rio live. It's concerning and frankly, I don't think I'll ever visit Brazil again.

Value for money

Basic hotel. Good location with a couple of local restaurants walking distance. Otherwise it’s advisable to get an Uber. Lapa in general is not the safest but the hotel is in a quiet street and even the police told us it’s in a good area. About 5 mins drive, you have access to lots more restaurants and bars with live music and dancing but be careful with your things. Breakfast was very good. Lots of options and fruit! Staff was helpful and attentive. This is not a luxury hotel but safe and good value for money. If you are not spending a lot of time in your room, it’s is a good option.

The service was excellent, and most of the staff spoke English or Spanish in addition to Portuguese. We arrived several hours before check-in, but the hotel offered luggage storage, allowing us to drop off our bags and explore the area. Its location is convenient, just 15-20 minutes from the main tourist attractions. Security is present 24/7 outside the hotel, which added to the sense of safety. The rooftop bar was a great spot to unwind, offering reasonably priced drinks and a relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast each morning had a wide variety of delicious options. The AC in the room worked well and kept the space comfortably cool. Some staff can arrange taxis at fixed rates, helping you avoid the common scams from regular taxi drivers, which was a huge plus. Make sure to bring wall plug adapters for your electronics, as the outlets are different than in the U.S.

Decent, no frills, good breakfast

Average hotel for the region, average price. Large room with comfortable bed, though the A/C unit is fairly undersized and takes 1-2 hours to chill to any reasonable temperature. Shower had a general heating issue (affecting other rooms) and the front desk didn't take us seriously when we reported it in the afternoon (understandable-ish, who takes hot showers in Rio anyway? Other rooms didn't report it) and only realized something was really wrong far later when it was already evening and it was completely cold -- maintenance would only be performed the next day.

Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the room’s ample size, which comfortably accommodated a family of five. The air conditioning system functioned effectively, maintaining a cool and comfortable environment throughout the stay. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of delectable options. The rooftop bar provided an inviting atmosphere with a selection of refreshing beverages. However, there were several areas that could be improved. The beds appeared to be quite old and unappealing. Additionally, mold was discovered above the beds and in the shower, creating a concerning health risk. The pillows were also flat and unappealing. While the location would be ideal during the carnival season, it does not provide a safe and secure environment for families, particularly with young children. I would strongly advise against booking this hotel for a family vacation. Despite these shortcomings, the service and food quality were commendable. Overall, this hotel is not suitable for families.
