    rooftop pool
    unsafe neighborhood
    lack of english translations

    The rooftop pool area is impressive and enjoyable.

    Unfortunately, my experience was tainted by several issues. The hotel warned us to stay in the lobby until our taxi arrived, highlighting the unsafe neighborhood. Although I found the soup for dinner great, the breakfast was lacking, with hot dogs mistakenly labeled as sausages. Additionally, the lack of English translations in the information manuals hindered my ability to understand the hotel's services and pricing.

    good breakfast

    Just a solid selection for a quick layover in Rio de Janeiro with good value. The breakfast buffet was really good and had a variety of options. Pay in cash to avoid extra charges on your card.

    exploring rio's vibrant heart with easy access to parks

    I found the hotel to be perfectly situated to explore the nearby Museu de Arte do Rio, just a short stroll of about 500 meters, and the beautiful park views at Maua Square, which is less than a 10-minute walk away, making my city strolls delightful. additionally, the friendly staff made my stay comfortable with their assistance in navigating the bustling city.

    spacious room
    helpful staff
    limited breakfast options

    The room was spacious and comfortable for our family. We especially appreciated the helpful front desk staff, who organized a fantastic city tour that everyone enjoyed, including our little one.

    My wife says that it would be great if there were more kid-friendly breakfast options.

    The rooftop pool had amazing views, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. We enjoyed the excellent gym facilities, and the roof terrace was great for sunset drinks.

    great location
    helpful staff
    dated amenities
    street noise

    The location near Candelária Church is fantastic, with easy access to transport options. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful. However, the hotel feels a bit dated, and the noise from the street can be bothersome, affecting sleep quality.
