    Great location, good rooms and Breakfast One of the lifts was not working for the duration of my stay.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Excellent location so close to the Arpoador Brach in Rio. There was only one reading light on a twin bedroom. What were they thinking!?

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great location and service Restaurant and breakfast could be better

    Great location Restaurant and breakfast could be better

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Location Room size could be a bit bigger and could provide basics like an ironing board or coffee maker

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Location. There wasn’t actually a view and the rooftop pool is much smaller than it looks and always too crowded to go to. We were unable to use the bar up top.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Everything was great

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Well located between Ipanema and Copacabana

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Had to leave !! Will be back again soon

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The rooftop pool area felt a bit cramped and noisy

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The location and the friendly staff. One of the Elevator didn’t work, upstairs pool disappointing. The breakfast set up was very poor.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Location is nice very close to Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. We were not advised nor were there any indications that small water bottles in the refrigerator were being charged. Essentially 2usd per 8 oz bottle of water. The elevator buttons required a great deal of effort to register your input and the shower leaked out into the bathroom. You also have to be 100% vigilant we saw people have necklaces stolen off their neck in broad daylight along Ipanema.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Restaurant downstairs was very good Breakfasts were included and also very good It was very expensive (week of carnaval) so probably would not pay that much to stay there again, only if the pricing was better Would consider this a 3-star hotel per USA standards Had some drainage issues in bathroom consistently during stay

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Location was excellent, beach access close by, many small eateries and shops nearby, helpful and pleasant staff, very good breakfast buffet, restaurant for dinner was very good and wait staff very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the property and have no dislikes to mention.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Closeness to beach No coffee in the room or ability to get before 6 am. Very late for early risers The smell in this hotel literally made me sick. I now have a sinus infection I had window open all the time and air conditioners running at high swing. Still bad

    Room was functional and clean, with a quiet AC unit. Excellent location a block from the beach, in a vibrant neighborhood with plenty of food and shopping options. Rooftop bar and pool with a great sunset view. Nice breakfast. Staff very professional and friendly.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026
