Great hotel and location with fantastic reception staff. The only reason for marking it down a rating is that the wifi was terrible; my partner needed to do business meetings online but it kept cutting out & stuttering. Even simple browsing was very very slow.
Loved this hotel and would stay again. I enjoyed the meal I had in the hotel restaurant and would certainly eat there again. I liked that this hotel was across the street from a beach. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Hotel was great for the price but the location for New Years was not great over an hour walk to Copa Cabana that's on us for not researching thou but beside that its super close to everything.
Well located, clean, modern, comfortable, fantastic food, first class service. I had one of the best meals in my life for dinner at the restaurant, the seafood pasta. I will return to stay this hotel when I'm in Rio de Janeiro again.
The location is excellent to visit the tourist sites like Pao de Azucar and Christo Redentor - short rideshare trips. Loved the breakfast at the restaurant on the 1st floor.
The room we got was good for 3 of us and had a sofa bed. We stayed in this property two different times. The bathroom in the 2nd visit was not so clean, was out of body soap.

Liked: Staff & service
The personnel was very professional and the breakfast buffet was good. While the bed was comfortable, the room was in need of repairs.
Nice place, clean, close to everything. Supermarket, shopping options, and a lot of taxis could be found right at the entrance of the hotel. Highly recommend if you go to rio with or without kids.
