In general it looks like a decaying premise. The room was spacious with a king bed, not required from me. No adequate space for sitting to work with a computer. Only one very rustic very high small table with two much above the average sitting benchs very unconfortable and dangerous to sit. Television had very few cable channels and the worst ones. In summary I would not recommend this hotel even for an enemy.

Save your money and run for the hills

Save your money and run for the hills! They present pics as a kind of cool boutique hotel but it is in shambles. The bathrooms have mold, floors dirty, construction everywhere. You have to pay to leave your luggage for a couple of hours even when they didn't have the room ready. Another couple of clients had the same situation.

Great place to be close to both Copacabana beach and Ipanema. Many dining options & shops are located within walking distance. The beds were comfortable, A/C worked well, and the room was quiet for sleeping. Amenities are a bit scarce - minimal towels, no conditioner, no wine opener, no extra cups. Breakfast was nice with fresh fruit, juices, breads, coffee, eggs. The best part was the friendly, helpful door man! Definitely would recommend!

This hotel is advertised as 3.5 stars but is really a two star hotel by usual international standards. The rooms are run down (not like the modern images seen online) and the room wasn’t clean (sand on floor, grimy bathroom, mould). There was also no mattress protector, just a sheet which I find quite repulsive. The usbc port on wall also broken. When I advised reception they loaned a plug in charger however when I went out that evening, someone came into my room and took the charger which made me feel really uncomfortable. I also needed it for duration of the stay. The breakfast was reasonable and they provided gluten free bread which I appreciated.

Scammers

Worst stay in my entire life. Paid for an executive suite, got an awful twin room. Wasted an hour checking in dealing with lies and incompetence. Hotels.com intervened to secure a refund/discount and have also failed - despite the hotel managers false promises.
