The property inside is good but properly because of the value so breakfasts time is like a zoo. Out side of property has big area for night club, drinking so good for someone who needs a lot of party nights.

Its a cool old building. Its self contained. But its in a noisy, rundown part of town. If this is the area you need to be in, its nice.

This is a beautiful luxury hotel, renovated from an old historic building, great location in downtown, which also means that you are near the great music bars in Rio, but also the surroundings could get tricky at night. The breakfast and swimming pool were great. Overall, a fantastic option if you want to stay in the Lapa area.

To be fair the location isn’t the best Rio de Janiero can offer but if you seek a clean hotel with an amazing pool area at lower cost than this hotel will appeal.

8/10 Very Good

The staff are very friendly & attentive. I would like to make a special mention to Sasha on reception who booked a tour for me which took a while due to coomunications issues with the tour operator, not Sasha. I think we focus too much on leaky showers etc & not enough on the hotel staff who really go out of their way to make their guests feel valued.
