The hotel was very clean, staff was very friendly, check in was easy and the staff was able to accommodate my needs for an early check in. Sara at front desk was very helpful and attentive to all my needs. Breakfast had a great variety of fruits, pastries, eggs, breads, cheeses, etc… the location is great walking distance to Copacabana beach, Ipanema beach and Arpoador beach. Lots of restaurants and bars close by.

Staff are very helpfull and nice. Rooftop has an amazing view. Rooms are pretty small and breakfast is good but it’s the same food everyday. VIP gold status from Expedia only gets you 20% off once on your meal. It’s almost nothing.
