I loved the bohemian look. Rooftop bar was a plus since I don’t know the area. Restaurant connected to hotel was a plus great food.

One of the best hostels! The dining options were great, the room clean, guard on duty (it's Brazil....). Pretty building. I was able to walk everywhere I needed to go.

Good location & nice staff

The staff were super lovely and the property is in a good location. The rooms are nice but I think we were just a bit unfortunate to get one without a working extractor fan which made the room a bit damp and smelly... we did let them know but we were only there for a short time! Wifi was good Kitchen could do with a few more spoons!

The hotel is located in the tourist area of Lapa in a good way. Is best to get ESIMS before you get there so you can enjoy your touring with UBER because they are always around the hotel and saves you lots of of heartache due to language barrier. The Rooftop bar is also convienently on top of the hotel. I did not experience much noise either.

Fui surpreendido positivamente desde a chegada. O hotel conta com uma estrutura fantástica, fachada linda, recepção e restaurante com com uma pegada irreverente mas sem perder o bom gosto. Quarto amplo e uma vista incrível para os Arcos da Lapa e Catedral Metropolitana. Gostaria de agradecer pelo excelente atendimento do Mário e Thales. A simpatia e eficiência de vocês fizeram nossa chegada e saída muito mais agradável. Segurança e camareiras também.

quarto limpo, café com pouca variedade, a cama do quarto 211 era a princípio confortável, porém, ao deitar e se movimentar na cama ela faz um ruído de madeira rangendo horrível, alto, impossibilitando o sono profundo

Acesso ao rooftop negado

Nada a reclamar em relação ao atendimento, pois todos foram muito solícitos, do check-in ao check-out. O problema que tive foi em relação à cobrança do valor de 180 reais para acesso ao rooftop. A informação não estava disponível na página da hotéis.com e, para minha surpresa, a taxa era inegociável e para a gente acessar teria que pagar 360 reais, pois estávamos em 2 pessoas. As medidas cabíveis já estão sendo tomadas, pois tenho print de rodas as páginas do hotéis.com na qual não há nenhuma informação de que o local poderia ser cobrado à parte.

Quase tudo perfeito! Só precisa de pequeno ajuste!

Fiquei no quarto compartilhado, quase foi ótimo! O atendimento foi excelente do pessoal da limpeza aos recepcionistas! Minha única ressalva foi a higienização do banheiro que não era ideal e o fato do chão do quarto estar extremamente danificado por um vazamento do ar que claramente não foi consertado há tempos, no entanto os lençóis e toalhas eram ótimos e as camas tb!

Durante a minha estadia precisei trocar de quarto duas vezes por devido a problemas nos quartos. No primeiro, a fechadura do quarto não funcionava. Ou não trancava a porta na nossa saída ou não fazia a leitura do cartão de entrada. No segundo quarto, o piso estava danificado e, na primeira chuva, descobrimos a razão. A parte superior da janela estava sem vedação e chovia dentro do quarto. Ao solicitar mais uma mudança, o atendente do hotel sinalizou que teríamos que mudar de andar, porque outros apartamentos no mesmo andar que estávamos tinham o mesmo problema. A limpeza do quarto só foi feita mediante solicitação na recepção e, ainda assim, faltavam itens de higiene pessoal. Foi uma estadia desagrável e bem cansativa. Havia um esforço dos atendentes do hotel para resolver os problemas, mas tudo era muito era precário e resolvido no improviso.

Arquitetura diferenciada, bem bonito. Bom café da manhã e boa infraestrutura. Porém, achamos cabelo na parede do banheiro e na cabeceira da cama, isso assim que chegamos, sem utilizar nada. A localização é boa, mas muito barulhenta. Quem quer descansar, ou usa abafador ou esquece. Música, buzinas e gente gritando a noite toda. Barulho externo mesmo. Café da manhã gostoso, mas demora repor utensílios, todos os dias faltou algo, ora talher, ora copo, ora xícara. Atendimento ok.

Não teve retirada do lixo e troca da toalha todos os dias. Gostei muito do café da manhã porém precisam colocar outra máquina para fazer café. Todos os dias faltava. Os funcionários foram bem atenciosos.

Boa estadia!

Pontos positivos: Hotel bem localizado, no coração da Lapa. Próximo aos bares e aos principais pontos turísticos. No 8º andar do hotel tem um rooftop com uma vista incrível dos arcos da Lapa. Pontos negativos: Paredes e banheiros sujos de sangue, provavelmente de muriçoca, mas que facilmente seria resolvido com limpeza das paredes.

Hospedagem excelente, mas limpeza precária

A limpeza do local deixou muito a desejar. A entrada estava simplesmente imunda, a mesa do café da manhã estava marrom, de tão suja. Passei um guardanapo para limpar e ele saiu completamente marrom. O café da manhã era um tanto quanto limitado, os sucos bem aguados e deixaram a desejar. Pedi água quente para fazer um drip coffee e o atendente foi super grosso comigo. Perguntou "o que você quer, água?", ao invés de ser gentil. Em compensação os seguranças foram muito queridos, os atendentes da recepção também! Pessoal da cozinha me ajudou a esquentar uma comida que eu tinha levado, foram queridos. Pecaram mesmo em limpeza. Decaiu muito desde a época do selina.

Window in our room wouldn't close, reception sent maintenance up promptly but it wasn't fixable. Also the tap in the shower had been spun out from the wall so wouldn't work, but we screwed back on ourselves once we figured it out. Mattress needed replacing or cleaning. Good location next to the selaron steps, markets and Lapa for food and bars. Breakfast had a nice selection. Rooftop bar was an added bonus. Quiet inside the hotel.
