Amazing location and style and atmosphere. I’ve read about the company concept and how they are popping up all across Latina America. With that the roof top and vibe is amazing. The famous steps are just around the corner. They provide loads of things to do just make sure you book in advance if you are short on cash. Pub crawl they offer is eventful

They offer a single-bed blanket for a queen-size bed. And there are no face towels. Only one body towel for each guest. There’s no way of contacting the staff at the reception unless you go downstairs. There’s no phone in the room and they don’t answer if you call them from your phone. The staff in general seems lost and confused. I think that there is a staff shortage and they can’t handle the amount of guests. The Internet is intentionally slow-speed for guests. The breakfast only offers a few options. You need to get a voucher at the reception if you paid for it previously. Obviously, no one told me that when I went to the reception before heading to the breakfast area. So I waited 20 minutes to order, and when I spoke to the waitress, I had to go back to the reception to get the voucher. She offered me only one option of breakfast and it didn’t include all items. It took me another 30 minutes to be served. I saw people who arrived way after me being served first. It’s a complete mess. The hotel worries so much about being modern and stylish that they forget to provide a good service, which is the most important.
Nice decoration. Good bathroom.

The common kitchen and cinema were slightly disgusting (dirty, untidy etc), no matter the huge efforts of the cleaning staff. But of course this is extremely difficult to avoid in areas with a “common” concept. If you are a traveler unfamiliar to Rio, who thinks that Rio is just Copacabana and Ipanema, maybe the neighborhood can be a bit harsh for you.
Excellent place, concept and staff.

I did not find the room clean enough, the shower is really nice and has all the necessary stuff but You can also see some mold sticked to the walls in the Lower part of the shower, like it’s not being cleaned properly. The cover for the bed was not perfectly clean either and I found hair of somebody else in the closet where the hangers are.
