    Basic but good location

    rating14 Apr 2026

    Very basic hotel in Copacabana. It is in a good location however it wasn’t very clean. Bathroom basin drain full of hair, the shower recess still had soap scum and bits of soap from previous guest, the mini bar fridge glass was dirty and the linen was stained. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

    Watch out! They gotcha!

    rating07 Dec 2025

    My first 2 days were amazing, until a tall male rapped on my door carring a weapon. He did not ring phone, he just beat on my door. Your wifi is spied upon, and no illegal acts performed. Yet your trafficked instantly. You can enter any room number for your password. I was honest, I entered mine, though other do not. They do that to conceal their illegal act.PS- they ripe you off to come in early! They charge $127 usd, verses online price of $93 usd. Who the heck charges to hold a bag for you? All reputable hotels do this as a courteous service. Obscene charge for 4 hours! The only good item was the breakfast- free. But it's time to eat away!I suffered a muscular back and leg cramping, and returned to hotel, and was radiated by staff. Do not trust anyone but Miguel. He leads in some dignity toward guests.

    Great location when a greater staff

    rating23 Aug 2025

    The location of the hotel was perfect nestle between Ipanema and Copacabana. 2 minute walk to the Beach. It was very clean and the housekeeping staff were remarkable. The security was top notch. João Santos was kind, patient, and simply amazing. He may sure that I felt at home and was there for all questions and assistance. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I will definitely stay here again!

    Unhygienic

    rating03 Jun 2025

    Perhaps this was once a great "design" hotel, but our experience was disappointing. Our room was in need of an update, but the bigger problem was the bathroom. The walls were covered in mold, making it very unpleasant to shower (see photos), not to mention unhygienic.

    Four stars who?

    rating28 Dec 2024

    This was one of the worst hotel experiences I've ever had. When you enter the hotel you're hit with the stench of urine, the lobby looks dated and dirty. Check in was fine and the elevators looked dingy. The room smelled musty with standing water on the floor! Where did it come from ? I don't know and don't want to guess. The linens on the bed were stained and smelled, as did the towels. Mildew on the shower stall. I was at the hotel for 3 days the 2nd day the hotel room flooded! I called the front desk who "mopped" it with towels and then used a broom there was so much dirt despite "cleaning service" earlier that day. The breakfast provided is basic continental nothing special. avoid!
