Pros and cons to this hotel. Not quite sure how I feel about it. For the right price (much much less than I paid this libertadores weekend) I'd stay again cause it was clean and comfortable, room was large and staff was great, but I wonder if there are better options out there for a similar price....Anyway:
Pros: Staff is very friendly and helpful. Was truly the saving grace here. Willing to help at all costs despite some issues (they didn't find my reservations, A/C wasn't working, etc). They took great safety measures (stayed during Libertadores weekend and it's kind of chaotic, they made sure we were taken care of regardless of where we were). Rooms were very clean.
Cons: It's in a convenient area with lots of stuff around (few blocks to the beach in Copacabana) but at the same time doesn't feel the safest at night (though tbh only the ones on the beach feel better). The hotel is OLD needs some SERIOUS renovation. For the price that I paid for this weekend it needs some serious upgrades not worth the $$$$. Only benefit of an older hotel was that the room was quite large. Windows definitely let a lot of noise in (they also put me on the 2nd floor after I requested to be on a higher months before, so that's a given). Sheets used on the bed wasn't a fitted sheet, so as you move at night it undoes from the corners and you end up sleeping on the actual mattress.
