The breakfast was awesome and the selection of food and sweets. specially the Custard...The location is perfect, so close to Selaron steps just few steps away. The location is perfect also for Acai which is in the canteen nearby....there is also a Barbecue stand which sets up in the afternoon on the side of the hotel....a lot of cheap eatery and foodtruck also close to the Hotel itself.

WiFi was a bit unstable, it kept disconnecting which was a problem which led me to leaving the hotel. If the Internet is important to you then it might be best to choose another hotel.

Room was very big and good value. The bed was a good size and the reception guy was very polite and knew how to communicate.

The neighbourhood didn't feel super safe but it's not the hotel fault. Plus never had a problem during our 13 days there so it's not a big issue at the end.

The staff was very nice and arranging. They listened to our various demands (change room for wifi, cleaning schedules, advices for some activities...). The room was clean and comfortable.

The area is a bit sketchy. Pillows and linens are due for an overhaul.

Great breakfast! Good location to see the sights in the city center. It’s basic accommodation but unbeatable price/value.

The hotel is located in the city center so a lot of street noises at night but this Rio de Janeiro so with a hotel located in the city you have to expect it

Fantastic breakfast, cleanliness of the place, choice of fruits, good quality and variety, staff making sure everything was in order. The hotel is well located close to 2 metro stations 5 minutes walk

No blinds or curtains!! (That's a first!) Hard bed and small top sheet. No coat hangers so I bought some and left them. Nothing to stop mosquitoes entering the room as big gaps around the A/C. (I did not see mosquitoes but was bitten perhaps outside)

Staff could not de enough for me despite struggling with language problems. My suitcase did not arrive from the airport so had a bad week without it and they were really kind . Thanks Guillem and Rodrigo! Wonderful self service breakfast. Fresh fruit, eggs, sausage and cold meats and cheeses. Toaster and sandwich maker . Large, clean room, big beds and good standard bathroom with plenty of hot water. Large fridge. Air conditioning Central location. All in all exceptional value for money

the bathroom, I could hear everything the neighbours were doing in the bathroom. Also the bedding could be updated.

the staff and location

Stayed in March 2022

Be warned there is a room on the 3rd floor which reeks of smoke. It was probably allowed to smoke there before. We complained as it was impossible to sleep there and luckily got another room, but guests should double check before paying, especially in busy seasons like carnival.

The room we ended up with was spacious, clean and tidy.

First of all, no one at all spoke English at this hotel. So it was hard to get any recommendations. And the street gets very noisy at night (especially around the weekend), so it was almost impossible to sleep without thick earplugs and a pillow over my head. The curtains were torn and the room was very very tiny. But what made my experience the worst were breakfasts. The man who is supposed to be wiping the tables was extremely rude, touching my stuff without asking or even saying hello, and shouting random things in Portuguese in a very aggressive tone. On top of that, tables were constantly dirty and full of plates, so there was nowhere to sit every morning. Even though the whole staff team is sitting there having breakfast and acting like they own the place, shouting and singing out loud while the hotel guests are trying to enjoy their breakfast at peace. Breakfasts were definitely something I wasn't looking forward to and always had to rush through them to get it over with as soon as possible. Also, the neighborhood is very sketchy and I felt unsafe walking around even during the day.

If you are looking to stay in the city center (which unless it has a specific reason, I wouldn't recommend), then this hotel has the perfect location. It is right around the corner from the famous stairs Escadaria Selarón. And it is quite cheap for the fact that breakfast is included. The young man at the front desk was very accommodating on arrival and early check-in was possible, even free breakfast. But that's where it ends unfortunately.
