    This hotel is in a very good location but best suited to business travellers rather than tourists.

    The hotel needs a bit of a makeover - there were only two lifts which was not enough to cope with the traffic for 70+ rooms, Also, the lifts were in particular were in poor shape, noisy and bumpy and there was only one which functioned reliably, The hotel definitely needs a makeover.

    The Hotel was in exactly the location I needed to be able to get to the historic section of town easily and also to be able to get to the Lagoa de Rodrigo Freitas and the beaches after work The breakfast was fine if a little limited in choices.

    The staff was amazing and they have been incredibly helpful with us: they let us use the chairs and ombrella for the beach even on our last day, and they let us use the gym's shower before leaving in the afternoon!

    There isn't anything I can think of.

    I enjoyed the room, especially the beautiful sea view. The rooftop terrace offered an even more stunning panorama. Breakfast was plentiful and featured a wide variety of options, though I did miss having tapioca.

    The staff was especially attentive and solved a major problem we had with a tour operator. The hotel manager was excellent in addressing our issue with the tour operator and was able to get our money refunded. When we had issues with our safe (the battery), the staff immediately addressed it. The location is one block from the Ipanema Beach! The hotel provides towels and umbrellas free-of-charge. There are wonderful restaurants nearby -- too many to choose from!

    Compared to other hotels in Brazil, the breakfast could’ve been a little bit better, but nothing to too serious.

    Great location, nice staff, rooms comfortable. Close to the beach.

    The room wasn’t very clean and it was really noisy. I had to sleep with earplugs. The bed was huge but not very comfortable. Breakfast was okay.

    Friendly and helpful staff, great location. Being able to rent beach chairs, umbrella and towels was great

    The 2nd lift was broken for the majority of the stay, so getting to the room was taking considerable time. Also, on the first day, the lady at the breakfast wanted me to pay for it again even if it was included in price. After an argument, she checked with the reception, who confirmed that it is included and that no additional payment is needed. This check should have been done before arguing with me. No apology for the behaviour nor the attitude was given either..

    Lovely room, good breakfast selection, amazing location, clean and comfortable.

    The noise from other guests the room I stayed in was not very sound proof so you can here a lot of noise so if you want a good night sleep definitely make sure you opt for a soundproof room , also safe was not working and access card needed to be reactivated frequently

    The location is great as you are right next to the beach with a short walking distance , the staff are really helpful and welcoming also . The breakfast is nice too and the bar area
