I liked the accommodation is staffed throughout day and night, and that you can leave your key there if you want to so you don’t need to worry about losing it when going out partying or to the beach. Staff was kind and the area is pretty convenient between beaches in Ipanema & Copabana. They changed towels everyday which I wasn’t expecting and thought was nice.

Good location - close to Lapa, Gloria and Cinelândia. You can walk to Flamengo beach and Gloria Marina for a boat ride. The rooms are basic but comfortable and the shower is hot with excellent water pressure. The breakfast is good.

8.6/10 Excellent! (783 reviews)

They were renovating, which is fine, but they gave me a room right beside the construction. Luckily I have earplugs to sleep and it made the noise tolerable but I could still hear it and it was an irritation while awake. The clerk said I should have told the manager during the day to change my room but I sleep during the day and why is it my responsibility to lose sleep in order to fix the problem you created. Regardless, no one should be put adjacent to that noise and dust in first place. I wasn't given any compensation. I was told to check their website... Otherwise no complaints about the hotel, it was good.
