    Team from reception was very nice

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The bedroom lights could be yellow instead of white.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Great option in Ipanema. Perfect place, the breakfast was great value. The wifi was not great and the TV was old

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Excellent location, good breakfast with a lot of variety, luggage storage The bathroom had a lot of mildew on the ceiling and wall (no ventilation in the bathroom at all) and the pillows were horrible. There were 4 pillows in our room and all were lumpy and old. They definitely need to be changed!

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Not clean. Bad lighting.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Location is perfect to go to both beach’s Need a bit of new paint, food is ok only for breakfast and cold

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Great location on a quieter side street where Ipanema is becoming Copacabana, but still super close to transit, beach, markets. Super view from my room. Nice lobby and efficient staff, what little I interacted. Nice little minibar with reasonable prices and a good variety. Good sized bathroom for Brazil. It just needs to be better maintained. The whole room needs a refresh, paint, new linens etc. It was clean and *not yucky* but it’s tired. The price reflected this - I would stay again for a night or two but don’t use this expecting anything other than minimum.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Bathroom didn’t feel clean, room felt very cold and sterile. There was only a sheet on the bed and decorative blanket.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    It was a very old facility that felt dirty, even though it was clean. The rooms simply do not look as advertised. You can tell they havent renovated in years.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    The reception staff were very friendly and helpful, always doing their best to assist with any request. The breakfast was also good, with a nice variety of options. The location was decent as well. The hotel is quite outdated and needs serious maintenance. My room was on the ground floor and felt very depressing. The shower was leaking, and there were no proper quilts provided — only a thin sheet, which was uncomfortable to sleep with. The air conditioner was extremely cold, and for some reason I couldn’t lower the temperature, so I eventually had to switch it off completely.? In the morning, the dining area was also freezing, with no moderate or comfortable temperature. There was also a lot of humidity on the walls in the hotel’s interior corridors, which didn’t give a good impression. The location was okay, but overall the stay was not comfortable.

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Location ia good No cable working Wifi not working Breakfast terrible with rotten fruit and the worst coffee I had in my life, no orange juice, sad The keys for 10 times lost its magnetic lock and has to be redone over and over, the excuses for this was lame!

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The location is perfect to be close to Ipanema and Copacabana. The personal was not as empathetic as one would expect. Nothing really important, but it didn´t make a worm experience.

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    Some staff was particularly unhelpful. Hotel was under construction which should be communicated before booking.

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Modern hotel very well located. Spacious rooms, comfortable Breakfast is poor. Horrible coffee and not good selection or presentation of food. It lacks sensibility of things like different types of milk, cereal, low fat items such as yogurt, etc

  • Engine customer May 2025
