It’s important to know that the cheapest room They have avail requires you share a bathroom and I wasn’t going for that so I upgraded for $28. The room is okay but the rooftop is Worth the stay, loved the free breakfast’

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures that Expedia uses for this property are not realistic. The rooms are small with limited amenities, paint chipping, and overall smelly and dirty. Outside of this hotel smells like straight sewer. The elevator situation is really bad too. It has a weight limit and my partner and I couldn’t even get on together with our luggage, though it says it can hold over 600 pounds. Also, there are only two elevators for the whole hotel.The only nice part was the breakfast in the morning on the top floor. I will never stay here again.

Very nice front desk and that was it. The sheets and pillows were stained, the bathroom smell really bad at all times, the a/c made so much noise that woke us up multiple times. I accidentally left 2 silver bracelets in the bathroom and I came back hours after I checked out and no one found them... Very unfortunate because the location is great and again the front desk staff tried to be as nice as possible.

I stayed with m 2 kids in a family room. The hotel was good value for money, right in the beach front and had everything we needed. Rooms are not huge but for a couple of nights it's was sufficient. So just to note there is no air conditioning and no fridge in the room.

The room was simple and colorful. Boho vibes. Really clean and comfortable. Lots of pillows. Staff was great and accommodating. The location is 1min from Copacabana beach which is awesome. Copacabana tends to be loud due to the live music, and I could hear a bit, but the hallway and corridors were quiet. Will definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family.

Much better than expected

What a lovely place! It was way better than expected. First of all, very nice staff: "papi chulo" and "mama chula". Service was friendly, with humor and ON POINT! The hotel is right on Copacabana beach. Great location! And the hotel was nice and clean. Better than the photos. I got a private room with the bathroom outside, but it was no problem as it was clean and always empty. Felt like I had my own bathroom as it was just outside of the door. Nice rooftop restaurant!

Our main concern was the lack of cleanness of the room, especially the bathroom. There was even an used bar soap on the bathtub. Staff were not friendly or even receptive, and were not even able to indicate where to park the car. Rooms were too noisy from the street traffic

A totally unethical action

It was not so good because the hotel charged me twice for the same room because I made a booking error. Also the hotel com did not try to solve my problem and unethically an extra 254 US dollar was charged for my stay. Although I was told by the hotel.com agent that they will refund after cancelation and rebooking of the no extra effort was given to solve my problem. Both sides accused each other of charging the fee and put the blame on eachother.
