My hotel of choice for all future stays in Brasilia. You could not find nicer more welcoming caring people and the facilities are superb!!go!stay!enjoy!
It is a good business hotel, although since my last visit, a few amenities have been removed, such as the sitting area - no more sofa or armchair to sit and relax. Just a bed and a mall chair.
Also, no coffeemaker in the room.
The hotel may not be in the best part of Rio but it is a very nice hotel.
Our twin bed room was very clean, comfortable and spacious with a lovely bathroom with powerful shower.
Breakfast was very good with a choice of hot or cold food. We had dinner a couple of evenings and the food was excellent and service from the waiting staff was excellent.
We would definitely stay here again and the prices were very reasonable.
It was an ok property. The hotel charged us for mini bar drinks that we didn’t consume. We were late and communicating was challenging so we just paid the bill anyway, but it was frustrating. Staff was not friendly or particularly helpful. Pet much did the bare minimum.

The location is not good. There are homeless people everywhere to the extent they will follow you into the local cafes/shops asking for food. I traveled with my daughter and I did not feel safe in thebarea at all. There is trash everywhere. If you are traveling for vacation I recommend staying in Copacabana.
The food at the hotel is medicore and is $25 USD per meal. You do better going to a nice restaurant elsewhere.
I am unclear how this place has a 4* rating it is a low 3 at best.
The hotel itself is excellent. As soon as you step outside you’re risking your life. Filthy dirty, loaded with homeless people doing very obscene things on the street, lots of beggars.
