The staff were super wonderful and always available whenever. They recommended great food, shopping and found taxis for us to get around. The area was very quiet, walkable and safe even during the night time. Shoutout to Julio Cesar for being so wonderful to us, made my mom a remedy when she a bit sick! He’s the best! The facility itself has some small imperfections but the service makes up for it. Would definitely come back and recommend for the price it’s worth it.

I recently stayed at this hotel, which is rated as a 4-star hotel. Unfortunately, my experience was not good. The service was very poor, and there was no electricity during our stay. Additionally, there was a loud generator right under our room that caused a lot of noise. Despite being a 4-star hotel, there were no basic amenities like an iron in the room. Overall, I was very disappointed with my stay.

A well located hotel, within easy walking distance of both the beach and Metro. The buffet breakfast was plentiful. The room was clean promptly daily. The rooftop pool was a nice area, however quite small given the number of rooms in the hotel. The biggest downside was the lifts, where you could wait a long time for them to arrive. We stayed 5 nights & paid for an early check in c£35 following an overnight flight. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the hotel

TERRIBLE OUTDATED CONDITION

we will make a different choice next time! There was a weird situation where we locked our key in the room, and it created a substantial amount of drama, including the maid, calling security to try to have us removed when all they had to do was go to the lobby, pull our passport and see that it was registered for the room. While all the drama? Perhaps more substantially for you: this property is in terrible condition. TERRIBLE. It is basically undergoing renovation of holes in the walls, broken tile, loose fittings, yellow curtains, yellow, pillowcases, stained water, surfaces, everything. It was due for a remodel about a decade or two ago. The price was substantially higher than other local hotels, we will never do that again! faremos uma escolha diferente na próxima vez! Houve uma situação estranha em que trancamos a chave no quarto, e isso criou um drama substancial, incluindo a empregada, ligando para a segurança para tentar nos remover quando tudo o que eles precisavam fazer era ir até o saguão, puxar nosso passaporte e veja se ele estava registrado no quarto. Enquanto todo o drama? Talvez mais substancialmente para você: esta propriedade está em péssimas condições. TERRÍVEL. Está basicamente passando por reformas de buracos nas paredes, azulejos quebrados, ferragens soltas, cortinas amarelas, amarelas, fronhas, manchas de água, superfícies, tudo. Estava prevista uma remodelação há cerca de uma ou duas décadas. O preço foi substancialmente mais alto do que outros h

I just stayed here 2 weeks. The property was deceiving from the pictures. Not exactly the quality portrayed. The place could use some updates. The breakfast spread was really good but was crowded if you don’t get there early. I recommend being early and you won’t be disappointed. The cleaning staff was very unfortunate. I know different staff clean different rooms so I can’t speak for all. The cleanliness of the over all hotel was good. The surrounding area was to be expected. I came to Brazil and stayed in the city. There is a lot of poverty. That being said there was so many fantastic little restaurants to eat at. Places you wouldn’t expect. There was an amazing little coffee shop straight down the road on the way to the beach. The tours the hotel provides were great. The staff at the front desk were incredible. They were so helpful, polite and gentleman. I forget the gentleman’s name but he is a jujitsu instructor. He was great and so were all his colleagues. They made my stay at the hotel worth it. Pleasure seeing them each day. I would recommend this place to a friend. Hospitality and politeness go along way and I feel I got that here.
