The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance from Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, close to supermarkets and eateries. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, though the hotel's interior is a bit dated. The service is generally friendly but could be more attentive to guest needs. The dining options offer a good variety but with limited healthy choices. The rooftop terrace with a pool is a nice addition despite its small size.

The hotel had huge rooms with a massive bed, small tables, and 2 chairs along with a desk, perfect for 3 friends traveling together. Despite not being renovated, the room was very clean and quiet even during the carnival. The location was excellent, within walking distance of Copacabana beach, making it very convenient. The dining experience was pleasant with nice fresh fruit, though slightly basic. The staff was very friendly, offering helpful service and arranging day tours with reputable operators. However, the service was a bit slow at times. Overall, a great value for money stay.

I loved the hotel's prime location, which offered easy access to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The rooms were cozy and had fresh bed linens, but I was a bit disappointed that the bedsheets were changed only every 3 days. The service was outstanding, except for one reception desk person who was not very helpful. The dining options were limited but the breakfast was super amazing. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money.
