    Extra charges for daily beach towel use, and holding baggage after checkout due to late night flight. These services were free on previous stays at this location.

    My second visit here - the first time was perfect and rated it 9. but now the room was not the cleanest and there was a very bad smell from the sheets, towels, and moldy smell in general. I had to ask the staff to replace all the towels, and was better after - but in general still smelled like mold

    Great location and good size of the room. Breakfast is nothing special but ok

    Worth staying because of the breakfast and location close to the beach and restaurants. NO POOL

    THERE IS NO POOL. THE HOTEL SAYS THERE IS ONE, BUT IT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL/ OPEN. Rooms have just the very basic amenities. Very poor Wifi.

    The location great. 2 minutes to Copacabana, and 10 minute to Ipanema. Plenty of restaurants in the vicinity (24 hour pub, across the street), 1 block away from a lot of good restaurants (not expensive), 2 blocks from churrasco buffet. The breakfast is great. Fruit was good and fresh. Clean rooms and friendly staff.

    I had to pay for them to hold my bags because my flight arrived early and it a few hours until my check-in. I found that strange, but perhaps that’s not so unusual.

    The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom was a bit dated, but it was clean and more than suitable.

    The location was perfect. It's a block away from the Copacabana beach and a few blocks from Ipanema beach. Everything to do is in walking distance. We had a water issue with our room and the staff immediately can to check it and moved us to another room (let us choose between 4 different ones) for the rest of the visit. They were amazing and helpful.

    There wasn’t good lunch at your own restaurant. There wasn’t dinner at your own restaurant. The towels in bathroom was oldest. I have a picture of one it. The swimming pools was out of service.

    50 meters from beach; There was a lot of restaurants nearby. Good location.

    When we checked in they gave us the keys for the room which was already occupied by someone! Could you imagine we got in someone’s place with their personal staff… so easy because of the stuff’s mistake. Also they gave the keys for the room with only one bed when we booked three! After only an hour we were able to resolve the issue…

    The location was great just 5 minutes away from the Copacabana beach

    The location is very unsafe for tourists. Keep this in mind when booking this hotel. We got robbed right in front of the hotel as the intersection its located at is a favourite hangout spot, around 5pm/6pm coming from the beach shirtless or in bathing suits - groups of young teenagers (maybe 30 total?) would run on the streets causing chaos, we didn't know the first day what was happening, one stole my brothers necklace from the back. The next day around the same time, they spotted us right away and started to run towards us - we asked a local to walk us to the door of the hotel. DONT WEAR ANY JEWELRY / WATCHES / BRAND NAMES. We were told to not go out at night, so we didnt, but this was happening in later afternoon when the sun was still out. Be extra cautious.

    The rooms were comfortable, the breakfast was very good every morning. Very close to Copacabana beach and Ipanema.
