Staff are the gold of the hotel. Very flexible at reception and extremely helpful. Just a broken tap handle but all the rest was perfect. Great options of TV channels and bed and pillows very comfortable.

Great location, breakfasts

The location is excellent to visit the tourist sites like Pao de Azucar and Christo Redentor - short rideshare trips. Loved the breakfast at the restaurant on the 1st floor. The room we got was good for 3 of us and had a sofa bed. We stayed in this property two different times. The bathroom in the 2nd visit was not so clean, was out of body soap.

Precisa cuidar da limpeza

Fiquei por 5 dias com esposa e 2 filhos. Localização extremamente conveniente. Opção para quartos para famílias. Café da manhã bom. Chuveiro ótimo. Mas o quarto apresentava muita umidade e a limpeza não era boa. O lixo da parte interna do quarto eles nem retiraram… vou avaliar se retorno. Se voltar, será pela conveniência da localização, próxima ao metrô….

Solo para pasar la noche...

El hotel no tiene mucho para hacer, a diferencia de otros hoteles el Rio. Llegamos y la primera pieza que nos asignaron tenía olor a humedad y las sabanas de la cama estaban humedas. Solicité el cambio de pieza y accedieron, la segunda estaba mejor.

a estrutura do hotel é muito boa, quarto muito bom também, cama confortável. Café da manhã muito bom. O atendimento durante o nosso check in deixou a desejar, chegamos de noite e cansados, faltou um pouco de tato por parte do atendente. O restante dos atendentes da recepção foram excelentes e super solicitos.
