Great location right in front of Copacabana beach. Some areas of the hotel feel a bit dated like the lobby and the room itself which was also facing the inner part of the building and had virtually no natural light. The bed was very comfortable though and the room clean. In contrast, the restaurant area has a much more modern design and here I was served a great breakfast as well as a delicious picanha and and amazing caipirinha for dinner. Pool, gym and sauna can barely be called such but not a big deal for me.

This is excellent place to stay. Clean, friendly, safe, etc. They have a room available to use after you check out so if your flight is late you don’t have to worry for your luggage and also get a shower before you leave. I love the service and they make my experience in rio above and beyond.
