No rooftop no pool.....on copacabana beach....the lobby have a feel of 60s opulence which was exciting..breakfast was great...our bathroom had a leak from the top and they kept saying they have no other rooms until they finally moved us. Next day we had a water isuue for 3 hours. They did not offer us anything extra for our inconvenience.
