The best feature that the hotel has is location. Additionally, the staff is very friendly and helpful . However , the rooms had very bad stained towels and sheets . The AC unit was old that it didn’t work properly.

The view of Copacabana beach is amazing. The balcony and apartment is very private and secure. It is a very spacious apartment. Most of the blinds on the balcony sliding door are broken which let light in.
