The hotel location is fantastic - just a short walk away from Copacabana beach. However, the building could be better maintained. Our bed was clean and orderly but the room showed definite signs of wear and there was mold on the bathroom ceiling.

Room was adequate, had the basic amenities. Nothing special. But the rooftop pool was very nice. All staff friendly and great services. Breakfast was very good, a lot to choose from. Dinner was adequate but for the money you pay is decent.

Room was.OK . There was a.leak in the bathroom and they never showed to fix the safe. Bell hop and cleaning lady very attentive so two the counter guys, but the rest of the counter guys were not rude but appear very uninterested on their jobs. The location was good and the free breakfast was excellent. As for the Copacabana beach it was much cleaner and welcoming that the one on Ipanema. Uber taxis were very reasonable.

I loved the staff, the front desk guys are extremely helpful, the cleaning lady’s are awesome too, there’s tons of food areas around and the beach is super close. I wasn’t a fan of the homeless, beggars and sellers everywhere and if you want to avoid that go to Ipanema or leblon will be the cleanest but triple the price. The only issue I had was the steam room being stinky but everything else was great. The staff and breakfast is half of why I’d stay there again

The receptionist Leandro Cruz was the highlight of my experience. He is the absolute best!! When I arrived at the hotel I even thought about leaving because the place is old and the rooms were not great. But the staff there are so nice that made my stay truly enjoyable. I got an upgrade to a room that had a dry sauna and it was amazing. The roof and the gym have a nice view.

The staff was super helpful, the front desk administration was also very polite, nice and were able to communicate with me in any language I needed, spanish, portuguese or english.
The bellman staff also were really personable and helped me as a first timer in Brazil, walked me to certain locations so I felt safe and could get to know the surrounding area better.
Phenomenal experience. Big shoutout to Bruno the bellman.

Sleepless Start: Hotel Needs Major Maintenance
My 11-night stay was okay, but more of a 3-star experience than 4-star hotel.
Pros:
- Excellent breakfast buffet and delicious restaurant food with generous portions.
- Superb location: 5-minute walk to Copacabana Beach (Leme), groceries, restaurants, and the Cardeal Arcoverde metro for easy access to tourist spots.
- Friendly, helpful, and compassionate staff, especially with issues.
- Nice rooftop pool, bar, and restaurant with Rio mountain, city, and some sea views, offering great drinks.
Cons:
- Early check-in cost a full night's stay, forcing a long wait after an 11-hour flight.
- First room (119) had poor Wi-Fi, a concrete view, and noise issues (loud music, tapping), plus a non-functional phone. It took six days and daily requests to change rooms for lack of sleep.
- Second room was basic and run-down, with a toilet that never looked clean. Taps make a loud squeaking sound when water pours through. Wi-Fi was better but intermittent and slow for work.
- Elevator breakdown caused long waits.
- Gym was neglected with most equipment broken; hand spray was always empty.
The hotel needs maintenance to live up to its 4-star potential. My experience was disappointing compared to photos and reviews; I'd hoped for a more relaxing start to my travels.
