Pros: Great location! The pool bartender is very friendly. Great breakfast!

Cons: The receptionist double charged us even after me saying that we had already paid. The manager did his best to refund us, but did not do anything to fix or to apologize for the inconvenience that it has caused. The people working at the reception could be more friendly and smile more.

Pros: Brilliant location - right on the beach and life of Copacabana. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Lovely swimming pool on the roof! Best view of Copacabana Beach!

Pros: The beachfront view was amazing. The breakfast was wonderful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: N/A

Pros: This hotel was excellent. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast provided a wide vary of choices. Hotel staff were most helpful. We had a wonderful view of the beach each day.

Pros: The location is excellent, the breakfast amazing and the view from the pool is very beautiful. The staff is friendly and always ready to help you with anything. A lot of variety for breakfast, 4 types of natural juices each day, a lot of fruits, different food every day. The bed was comfortable, the room was spacious, the bathroom was clean. I recommend taking the room with a view. The area is safe and close to everything.

Pros: Location of the hotel is good, as it is only few minutes walk from Copacabana beach. Also, since we used Uber to travel all around the city, it is easy accessible for cars. We were allowed to check-out 1 hour later as our return flight was at night.!!! Room was cleaned every day and the towels were changed daily.

Cons: There are few things that can be improved: - no iron in the room (or rent from reception), only the service that the customer need to pay for; Very inconvenient if you just want to iron your t-shirt:-( - sauna was closed on the rainy day - gym is open just from 9 a.m., which is inconvenient for tourist from Europe, who suffer from a jet leg and wish to use gym early in the morning. - for breakfast no vegetables. Even though the choice is quite big, every day is served the same food. For a healthy choice only fruits. - the hotel is a bit outdated and there is no possibility to hang cloths, for example when you come back from the beach. - not everybody at the reception spoke English/ specially night shift staff spoke only Portuguese.

Pros: Room is very clean. Bed is comfortable and TV has Netflix. Very near to copacabana beach. Good breakfast but as I say, I'm tired to eat the same selection of breakfast everyday. They have luggage-storage so we are able to leave one of our bag for free.

Cons: Were couple and we requested double room in this booking and they give us a twin room. Good thing is you can join the 2 bed so that's what we did. We didn't complain about it but it's an inconvenience they must tell us that double room is not available.. Stayed 5 night and the breakfast is all the same.. Lot of choices but all same everyday, No Vegetables... It would be perfect if they put some vegetables for 4 star hostel. .

Pros: Good location as it was walking distance to Copacabana beach and shops and restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and spacious.

Cons: It’s nice that there’s a pool but it’s very small and once or twice it needed to be cleaned. All good after it was cleaned though. The breakfast was basically the same each day and was average overall.

Pros: - the staff is friendly and helpful - breakfast is ok

Cons: - the hotel is clean but definitely worn out - we had a (locked) door to another hotel room which was not soundproof at all

Pros: Two of their employees are ok – the blonde lady on the reception desk and the older porter at the main door. And the distance to Copacabana is short. Everything else is just bad. Really bad. Worst hotel I have ever been to.

Cons: - mold in the rooms. Really. For a 4* hotel this something you wouldn't expect. A lot of mold, see my photos for one example of the mold. It's health dangerous and I think Brasilian health office should look at this. - it's really noisy, as it's close to a tunnel on a main road and the windows don't keep the noise outside. All the noise come in to the room and when I had a phone all I had to go to a hallway to hear the other side on the phone. That noisy it is. It's crazy! I have never been to such a noisy hotel. - one night around midnight guests in next room did make a very loud noise. Really loud. And because there are no proper walls between the rooms as there are just old door in the wall, we heard it all very easily. I went to a reception to do something with this but because the language barrier as they don't speak English, they didn't help. They though that I want to go out and keep my room key at the reception. Crazy... - shower is a bad joke. It's dirty, old even for 80's. - rooms are really dirty. It's crazy. I found hairs on the bed under my pillow, but that's not the only thing. Also windows need to be cleaned (or rather changed for a more modern ones as the ones at here are reaaaally old). - safe was closed without any instructions to open, no standard code worked. - sauna is a bad joke, without stones; I don't even want to write more about that. - breakfast looks nice at a first look, but it's not that good at all. Eggs are tottaly wrong, juices (except for orange juice) are just a colored water... -rooms smell very badly. Some of them smell like a couple-of-days unflushed toilet after a kari food. The hotel is totally wrong and is maybe the worst one I have ever been to. In 2019 it was more than 40 hotels in total, in my life it is already more than 200 hotels and this one is reaaaally bad. We were supposed to spend there 4 nights but we checked out after 3 as it was really bad.

Pros: Besides Copacabana it's also near to many different groceries stores, drug stores, good restaurants and ATMs just walk a few blocks. The staff is understanding and very polite to everyone.

Cons: It's not that I dislike this but just a note for the staff: To be a little more communicative with each other and the travel agency since they were confused at the end of the day with our selection of the attractions and wanted to charge something we didn't choose. But that's about it.

Pros: Great service! The staff was amazing and super helpful! Alex is the best! They were all really accommodating. It's really close to the main metro line and the beach. Like a 2 minute walk to both.

Cons: The beds weren't really very comfortable. I was happy to only being staying one night because of it. This isn't a negative just kind of a bummer but the pool, sauna and gym on the roof top with the views were all closed. They're remodeling until December. But trust me you don't need a pool when you have that incredible beach!

Pros: close to beach, friendly staff, free breakfast

Cons: horrible gym, paper thin walls and ceiling, could not control AC temp.

Pros: Good value for money. The location of the hotel is great, in walking distance to Copacabana beach (3min) and Ipanema beach (15min). There are a lot of restaurants and bars around the hotel. The staff was friendly and you can always find someone who speaks english at the reception. Breakfast was diverse and good.

Pros: Location & Breakfast were good

Cons: Property is operated at very basic level and towels were very old and floors were dirty.

Pros: Good location in Copacabana, walking distance to beach. Lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Very safe area. Hotel was clean, staff was friendly and helpful, breakfast was excellent.

Pros: Nothing it was the worst hotel i have stayed in my life!

Cons: Everything was awfull. The rooms, the service, the food. Everything was really poor. We found a hair in the pillow. The phone was covered in dust. You could hear the noise of all the rooms. The photos showed at the webstite are fake nothing real. It was a fraud!!

Pros: The rooftop pool is lovely, small but nice and quiet. The breakfast was also good and continental style. My flight also landed very early and I told the hotel this before arrival and they were able to give me a room.

Cons: I stayed for 4 nights. The check in process itself was very long and I wasn't acknowledged at all initially. My first room was by the elevator and had construction outside therefore noisy and I asked if I could move rooms which they did, but I felt like I was being a nuisance to them. English wasn't great so communication was hard and the photos on the booking were misleading as they are of one of the few refurbished rooms which I didn't have (my room was very dated). On the last night we asked reception to help us book a dinner reservation which should have been quick, but this took around 10-15 minutes.
