    Hotel is in the center if you need be there during day time. Is good standard hotel. Hotel is in the center of city only for people who come there for work somwhere in the ceter or if want to visit only day time city. In the night center area is extreme danger, with lot of homeless people on the street. Just cant go walk evening or nioght there in the center.

    Great places to walk near the water and lots of culture and museums in this area. One of the staff on arrival shouted at me and made me feel stupid for not speaking Portuguese... but he did not try to speak to me in any of the 5 languages I do speak...

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Proximity to historical center and Little Africa. Quick check in process. Service could be better. Gym, pool feel outdated and not a nice area to relax in. Breakfast and restaurant meals could be improved

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Excellent location, great food, I mean exceptional food. Nothing.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Location unsafe, many homeless people sleeping there, no map or exact information available at the desk to find a museum nearby. Worst was the elevators, running extremely slow up and down, only 2 out of 3 working. Spent a little g time waiting for elevator down to breakfast, more time waiting to go back upstairs to room, then a really long time waiting for elevator to go down to lobby to leave. Then past the homeless encampment again and lost trying to find the museum. Never again!

    Many homeless people living on the block

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Location is in the old section of Rio and not close to the major sights,

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    I liked the location and the cleanliness. Also, the possibility of a safe parking lot.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Got our early check in approved with management. Which was much appreciated. There was a good security presence which made us feel safe.The room was clean and comfortable. Beautiful view. Very good water pressure.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Super helpful people, everyone is very nice. Breakfast was very good. Mind you, the location can be dodgy at night, be careful not to wear anything flashy or go out alone as a young woman without men. But it is not hotel's fault, it's just Brazil.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Good location for our pre-cruise stay. Very nice buffet for breakfast and dinner. Construction noise around our room for a few hours in the afternoon. Terrible wifi.

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    The breakfast is good The location was terrible. Center of the city that is abandoned and full of homeless, felt very insecure

  • Engine customer Feb 2026

    Cleaning and breakfast.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    The breakfast!!! Plenty of selections!!! Only problem- and I understand the hotel has nothing to do with it but tourists should be aware, is whenever you exit your taxi outside the hotel, a handful of beggars waiting outside the hotel come running out to you begging for money and food. I'm not heartless, but having to always mentally prepare for this before arriving back at the hotel was always mentally tolling.

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    Staff was helpful and nice. Breakfast was plentiful with a lot of choices. Rooftop pool was a nice touch. The location in the business district is pretty desolate on a holiday weekend. Elevator was exceptionally slow, leading everyone to wait a long time to go up and down. Room didn't have any extra touches, but it was fine.

  • Engine customer Dec 2025

    Outside of the hotel, there are a lot of homeless people

  • Engine customer Nov 2025

    Poor insulation of the bedrooms, you could hear the elevator and people walking around. Also, the mini bar made a lot of noise at night, and it couldn't be unplugged
