Well located, clean, modern, comfortable, fantastic food, first class service. I had one of the best meals in my life for dinner at the restaurant, the seafood pasta. I will return to stay this hotel when I'm in Rio de Janeiro again.

Do not stay in this hotel!!!
Staff does not speak English. Fitness room did not have towels and water. Even worse the ac was not work in there what made impossible to workout with an inside temperature of 100F. I need to change rooms as my first one had short circuit. I paid for executive room and got this condition.

Strongly recommend good location and great staff
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.

Despite being in a nice location it’s not trivial to reach the beach in front of the hotel. The combination of red lights and underground pedestrian passage is not close to the hotel.
Breakfast is very good and the hotel as well as rooms are quite clean. The rooms are a bit dated and are showing their age, including on the Executive Floor.

Loved this hotel and would stay again. I enjoyed the meal I had in the hotel restaurant and would certainly eat there again. I liked that this hotel was across the street from a beach. The staff were friendly and helpful.

We liked the accessibility to shopping and transportation.
However, very disappointed with the following:
Only 1 bath towel for 2 occupants. No wash cloths provided. No shower gel provided but plenty of shampoo.
Electric kettle, cups and saucers, but no tea bags or coffee, no creamers or sugars. No listing in the room of numbers for restaurant or front desk. No menu for restaurant. No listing of local attractions/eateries/malls. NO IRON OR IRON BOARD! We had to BORROW and were admonished to return it in 40 MINUTES!!

Nice place, clean, close to everything. Supermarket, shopping options, and a lot of taxis could be found right at the entrance of the hotel. Highly recommend if you go to rio with or without kids.
