  • Engine customer May 2026

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Staff is AMAZING. Those heroes try so hard. I felt welcome, safe and it is obvious that they work under extreme pressure and constraints. I am grateful to Roge - Reception, Breakfast staff, Housekeeping (changing my bed sheets numerous times because I count not stand the body odor smell on every piece of bedding!) Location and staff. Undoubtedly.

    Good breakfast and location The mattress in the room was really very bad, and we had the impression that anyone could come and go from the hotel. It didn’t seem like they had any security control.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Friendly staff..delicious breakfast. Great location. Great baggage storage. Good internet. The sheets were old and very thin. The bathroom had mold, and the pipes behind the toilet were rusty. The cleaners didn't clean the room well...we still found hair on the floor. The AC was wack. The place just felt dirty. The pipe kept draining

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    They gave out room keys to someone who wasn't staying there and then whence i called security it took an hour not safe.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    It is old and really expensive for what it is

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Nothing. Everything. Very outdated and dirty. Not worth the price at all. Avoid

    Great location Great

    The pictures that are on the website are not matching the actual place. The place smells very bad even that I got the premium room. It’s super old and I’m not recommending it for anybody. They’re very hungry for money and they’re gonna charge you for anything you do there the gym doesn’t have air-conditioning and also the water on top is not clean for swimming stay away from this hotel and the breakfast in the morning, it’s not bad but it’s not something you should pay $100 a day for it in Rio.

    Spacious room Rude staff, no AC the Tv wasn’t working properly, the room was very dirty!!

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Location was good. Room was good. Breakfast is going to make people to return to the hotel for sure. The staff is friendly and accommodating — I give everyone A+ Since we had booked it at Book.com and it was promised a taxi to and from the airport Santos Dumont but that didn’t happen, I was a little disappointed, but it was not a problem when we easily found an UBER.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    We loved the hotel’s rooftop pool, the staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was good.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Perfect location and friendly staff! Amazing breakfast! Room was in the corner, extremely small and view was of brick wall. Facilities need to be updated.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    breakfast could be better with green tea, decent wholemeal bread instead of cardboard

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    It was sufficient for the purpose of my travel

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Location is the best in Copacabana Parking Fee is too expensive

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    I have stayed at this hotel before about five years ago. It needs some remodeling, but with that they will probably raise their price. I arrived about five hours early and they charged me almost as much for one day. I didn’t think that was right. I stayed three additional. The elevators are slow and it’s very crowded

  • Engine customer Oct 2025

    The pool was nice The shower was not strong.
