Overall the stay was good. We stayed for 12 nights. They have a good pool and pool area. Staff were friendly and helpful. We did book a tour with the hotel to go to Ihla grande that got messed up. We were supposed to go on a Tuesday at 8 but we were woken up at 7 with calls from the lobby telling us we were late and the guide was leaving. They had forgotten to let us know of a change of time for the tour and sent us to some bus station where the guide was supposed to get us but nobody showed so an hour later we went back to the hotel. They rescheduled our tour for the next day. There is a gym at the hotel which is ok, most of the equipment is a bit flimsy and doesn’t work but there are treadmills and weights that work. I do not recommend the hotel restaurant. We ordered a pizza and a salad, there was a strange smell of the salad and the pizza was poor quality (no sauce only cheese although it said sauce on the menu) The location is good, right next to Flamengo beach.

Once we checked in, we got a room with mold, but the staff changed it immediately. The room electricity only worked with the key in the slot, and we wanted to sleep and there was a light connected to the key, so if we wanted to sleep in the dark, but wanted the AC on, it wasn’t possible. The pool is very small and crowded but the rooftop is cozy and well planned. The building was being remodeled, that was a bit inconvenient at the lobby. At any hotel you can leave luggage in the lobby, this one they charged for it. Breakfast is great, and front desk staff is friendly and helping, especially Danilo. Diogo the butler was the highlight of the stay. Location is great, everything nearby.

More spacious rooms, and honest pool pictures.

Nice hotel. Rooms comfortable. A little run down but acceptable. Breakfast was nice - buffet with traditional selection. The roof terrace and gym are a nice touch though not in great knick - however still able to use gym and the terrace gives some nice views.

Charged 40R$ to store our baggage for 4 hours until we could check in which was cash only. Originally in a room with no air con but this was rectified. Some issues towels in the rooms aswell. All the problems were helped by the staff though it took a while to make this happen.

This hotel offers good value for money in Catete, near Flamengo beach, a great place with a large park and a stunning view to the sugar loaf. The hotel's rooftop has a view to the Corcovado, with the statue of the Christ on top. The neighbourhood offers plenty of bars and restaurants and you can easily reach the main attractions in Rio.

Like in most places in Rio, the staff could barely speak any foreign language, but they were polite and helpful. The breakfast buffet was OK, but overcrowded and the restaurant was too warm because of the crowd.

The location was great. The room was perfect. The views were nice, and we had great breakfast every morning. The facilities were very clean, and the staff was very attentive, especially when we needed special accommodations or we needed to replace our key cards, and if we lost our cards, they were very gracious and helpful in letting us back in the lobby. Doorman was there. 24/7, it felt secure, and the area was fun, especially during Carnival.

the facilities were nice and clean

the shower had black mold that could have easily been cleaned off. the Wi-Fi didn’t reach the room so we would have to walk down to the lobby and sit there uncomfortably stay away from room 711 for Wi-Fi connectivity, for reference we have iPhones.

Hotel has a great location and safe area of Rio de Janeiro. Just a few minutes walking for restaurants and also if you are going to go the beach and other tourist attractions. Just a few minutes walking from the hotel you find a park nearby the church who sells tickets to various tourist attractions Like sugar loaf mountains and the Jesus christ statue. They drive a mini van with tourists to this places.

Second time visiting Rio, this hotel is so great, breakfast was simple but delicious, fruit was fresh, orange juice 10/10! The beds so cozy, staff was kind, room service pasta highly recommend. ONLY issue was the wifi wasn’t so great but manageable, overall such a wonderful time, also SO close to the beach and pool was very nice

Location is nearby to shops and restaurants, security and staff available for all hours, and when they found the leak that can't be fixed we are moved to another room right away. Good breakfast selections and dinner (but we didn't go for the dinner at the hotels restaurant)

Our booking mentioned breakfast takeaway containers available and there were some misunderstanding.. but at the end we didn't ended up taking that option as it's a little bit problematic.

The hotel was lovely. We had a nice, spacious room. It was very convenient for all the attractions. The breakfast was very good, with lots of variety.

There was only one fault I had with the hotel. There were bottles of water left in the fridge every day. They were the only things in the fridge, so we presumed they were complimentary. There was nothing we could see, to say how much they were. When we went to check out, he charged us over €15 for the water we had used. He said the price had been in the room service menu in the room. That was in a drawer, we didn't look at it. If we knew we had to pay for them, we'd have bought our water in the local supermarket for less than a quarter of the price.
