Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The pros: The area is safe and convenient to Metro, buses, and there is a taxi stand in from of the hotel. The Metro is only a few blocks away and can take you to the beaches and other attractions. Flamengo Beach is a short walk away, and there are trails there for biking, running or walking with incredible views of Sugar Loaf. The internet also worked well and there is A/C and cable TV. The Cons: For the second long stay in a row (I also stayed last July), the bed was not very comfortable - hard and old. You will need earplugs if you are a light sleeper, as you can hear people in the halls. I had a room toward the end of the hall, which is better as less people will pass...you can hear them walking and talking in the halls as you rest. Also, they have stopped serving breakfast and filtered water, which I enjoyed in past stays. Having given some pros and cons, I would stay there again, but not for as long of a stay (12 days) - due to the beds. Hopefully, they will be replacing some of the older mattresses soon. But for me, the pros outweigh the cons, especially the location.

Nice budget hotel close to Gloria Metro and lots of places to eat and drink near. Also good for running at Flamengo Beach. The room has been remodeled and looks new and nice, but the beds are not new. If the bed had been more comfortable, it would have been perfect.

This hotel is not for everyone. The novice traveler to Brasil may find the area confusing and the property very basic. But I have been coming here for years as a single male who speaks Portuguese fairly fluently. I take the nearby metro to Copacabana and within walking distance to my favorite spots in Ipanema and save a bundle in hotel rates. Monte Castelo is quiet, very clean and easily accessible to Santos Dumont airport. Extremely friendly bilingual staff and walking distance to trendy Lapa area.

Rio Trip
Very good hotel and comfortable for a trip where you are out in the city and just going to the hotel at night to sleep. The location is very crowded and a bit overwhelming neighborhood, but close to everything.

Exceeded expectations!
Just had a wonderful three nights here. The service from the front desk and the catering staff was very friendly and personable. I was upgraded without having to ask. The location is great in an authentic Rio neighbourhood of Gloria. I'd happily return here on my next visit to Rio.
