The location, the room was comfortable and felt secure.

Michael Brazil

Beautiful grounds and great proximity to nightlife

Jack United States of America

I loved the friendly staff, that was always prepared to help with any problems. The pool is fantastic and very big. The setting in the centre great. Breakfast was very good quality and varied

Christiane Ireland

Spacious room with view of the palm-fringed pool. Very comfortable bed. Good wifi. Excellent buffet breakfast in stylish restaurant. Helpful, very welcoming staff. The location is very good, within easy walking distance of the Lapa viaduct (5 mins) and the Metropolitan Cathedral (10 mins). The area in the immediate vicinity is nothing special but once you enter the hotel you are in an oasis of tranquility and comfortable elegance. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Will definitely be back!

Alan United Kingdom

The hotel has a wonderful large pool. It is a lot larger then it appears from the facade. Very clean, comfy beds and large breakfast buffet. Love the character and history of the hotel. Front desk service was not the best but everything else was great.
