Rooms where great, large and well cleaned. Also found a stash of cocaine in the false roof of the lady of the lake penthouse, most of it is still there ;-)

We became the one really big bed. We appreciate huge breakfast, large selection of fruit, cakes etc. The swimming pool was nearby our room. We were surprised by the bus station close to the hotel (to the airport, to the center).

Fantastic breakfast and a 3min walk from Copacabana Beach and 5min walk to Rio Sul shopping mall. Loads of restaurants in the area as well. The pool was great with a nice view and rooms were clean with air con.

Savannah, New Zealand

The rooftop pool is lovely, small but nice and quiet. The breakfast was also good and continental style. My flight also landed very early and I told the hotel this before arrival and they were able to give me a room.

Mia, United Kingdom

Good size room and decent bathroom. Staff very friendly. Close to Leme and posto 2 on copacabana. Good bus routes right outside to most parts of the city. Roof area is great. Close to metro. Good breakfast.

We were disappointed in Copacabana beach. Many people made a real mess around themselves. Finally, we found a better beach named Ipanema. Our bathroom was covered with the small places of mould. The bathroom space was well until the we open the bathroom door.

“Completely unprofessional and malicious treatment.”

I was robbed at gunpoint RIGHT outside of the hotel during broad daylight hours. I went inside the hotel to ask for help and they would not even let me make a phone call (I couldn't on my own, my phone was stolen). I then asked for help switching my flight to leave earlier (I do not speak Portuguese and could not call the airline on my own), and they couldn't even help me with that. I was told I can go to my room and incur foreign call fees and call the US on my own. There was zero sympathy for me or acknowledgement of the incident. The woman at reception repeatedly said "It's not our fault" and "We can't help you." The behavior was truly disgusting.
The breakfast was good and the location was great.

“Good location but outdated rooms”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 4 nights

I stayed for 4 nights. The check in process itself was very long and I wasn't acknowledged at all initially. My first room was by the elevator and had construction outside therefore noisy and I asked if I could move rooms which they did, but I felt like I was being a nuisance to them. English wasn't great so communication was hard and the photos on the booking were misleading as they are of one of the few refurbished rooms which I didn't have (my room was very dated). On the last night we asked reception to help us book a dinner reservation which should have been quick, but this took around 10-15 minutes.
The rooftop pool is lovely, small but nice and quiet. The breakfast was also good and continental style. My flight also landed very early and I told the hotel this before arrival and they were able to give me a room.
