My room was spacious, clean and had a partial ocean view which was beautiful. The hotel is conveniently located across from the beach. The metro is about 9 minutes away. Breakfast is included and they have a complimentary shuttle to the airport. The pool is on the roof is small but nice with a roof top view of Copacabana beach. There's a bar near the pool and another one in the hotel lobby. The staff was very helpful and courteous. I would definitely recommend staying here.

I like the helpfulness of the staff in the front desk. Great breakfast but other meals the menu was not to my liking. The view from the roof and pool area was spectacular especially at sunset.The rooms are not kept in good condition and you can notice deterioration. The room maid was terrible and very slow. The floors are not carpeted and they looked and where not clean during my stay. The elevators where not the best. The location of the hotel is good across from the promenade and the ocean but not too many interesting restaurant to have a good dinner.I will not stay there if I return to Rio de Janeiro.

The staff is very kind and courteous, but the floor in my room was very dirty. I requested a better cleaning but it was in the 2nd day that they did it. I'd sneezed a lot and I'd woke up coughing and with discomfort in my throat. I was very disappointed. In general the hotel need to change the furniture. They are old and dirty.

Most excellent breakfast

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants
The room was a bit small... but the wonderful staff and phenomenal breakfast buffet totally made up for it! Afterall, we really only slept there - who spends time in the hotel when you are in Rio - too much else to do! I would absolutely return here!

Staff friendly and helpful, good breakfast buffet

Pros: Free breakfast
Cons: No free Internet
Hotel staff were friendly and helpful with arranging tour and safety tips. Good breakfast buffet with many choices. Good location for Copacabana Beach, but needed to take taxi to Ipanema and Leblon Beaches which are nicer and offer more restaurant and shopping options. Good value for the price.

I definitely would stay there again!

Pool is very nice, the rooms are very clean, breakfast buffet is fairly decent, courteous and friendly staff. It is conveniently located to Copacabana beach, Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf, restaurants, shopping centers, etc. Also, the price is very reasonable. The only reason I don?t give 5 stars it?s because is a little bit noise (or probably were the next door people) aside from this, I definitely would stay there again.
