Friendly helpful receptionists and staff. Room was clean, firm but comfortable mattress
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.
Mattress is about 3 inches thick. Pillows were smelly. Shower was leaking water outside into the hallway. Breakfast is very basic. Better than not having a place to sleep at all. Reception was available 24 hours, unlike the information I received stated.
The area is terrible. Very dirty, noisy, a lot of homeless people. The only good thing about this hotel is the staff and the breakfast. I wouldn't recommend it for solo female travelers, especially first time in Brazil. I was so shocked and scared to leave my room.
The room was very colorful, but it was very comfortable. the lights and different settings were very cool. very modern . The staff was very nice and professional, especially Leo. For a foreigner is very difficult to adapt to Brazil, everything felt different to me, but he explained to me everything and was very patient.
Wifi is not at all working
AC is broken and not at all working
Bath room is built in such a way that door glasses can break any time
Really dissatisfied with the room and experience
They have not provided the room that we opted, Istead of quadruple they give 3 and 2 sharing.
Its not at all worth of what we paid for hotel and feel like we paid more money with less comfort and less amenities
Quarto super limpo,
roupa de Cama nova e de boa qualidade.
Toalhas de banhos muito boas.
Funcionários educados.
Água quente.
Tem elevador.
Gostei muito e voltarei.
Muito obrigada.
