Reviews and Ratings
I must say, this hotel left me with mixed feelings. While the location was excellent, just a block from the beach and surrounded by great spots to dine, the room fell short of expectations. We were assigned a room with two single beds instead of a double, and it looked outdated, even showcasing some concerning black mold. The staff, though mostly helpful, had communication challenges due to limited English proficiency. The dining options were average, nothing spectacular. On the bright side, the facilities were decent, making my stay somewhat enjoyable.
The hotel is a mix of positives and negatives. On one side, it boasts a prime location just a stone's throw from Copacabana beach and various dining options. The rooms, while some are lovely, suffer from cleanliness issues like dusty floors and dirty bed sheets, which can be a downside. However, the peaceful ambiance on the 9th floor provides a unique experience of tranquility.
I stayed at the hotel just across the road from Copacabana Beach. The staff was nice, and some rooms were lovely, but overall, it felt a bit small and dull for the price. The experience was okay, albeit a bit dark at times.
The hotel had a few downsides like dirty rooms and uncomfortable beds, but the staff was friendly and the location was excellent being close to Copacabana beach. The dining experience was varied but not exceptional.
The hotel is in a superb location, just two blocks from Copacabana beach, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The rooms, though showing signs of age and mold, offered adequate amenities and cleanliness. The service was a mix of helpfulness with contacting the consulate but lacked overall friendliness. Dining options were varied, especially in fresh fruits, yet could benefit from more variety for extended stays. The hotel's convenient location near the beach does make up for some of its shortcomings.
My stay at this hotel was such a mixed bag! The rooms, while spacious and comfortable, are definitely in need of a modern update. On the bright side, the linens and towels were fresh and clean, which was a big plus. However, the overall feel didn't quite live up to a 4-star standard. The service was top-notch, with friendly and very helpful staff who were always attentive to my needs. The hotel offers a range of services like room service, dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, and valet parking, making my stay hassle-free.
The hotel had a comfortable room, but the small 'lounge' was just a tiny space next to a construction site on the same floor. The service was a mix of super friendly and helpful staff with some who were surly. The location was very convenient with various attractions nearby, but the dining experience could use some improvement.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The location was perfect, just a stone's throw from Copacabana Beach and surrounded by juice bars, restaurants, and shops. The rooms were spacious and much larger than expected, although it could get a bit warm without the air conditioning. The service was exceptional, from accommodating our luggage after checkout to welcoming us with warm smiles throughout our stay. The dining experience offered fresh daily fruits and juices, but it could use a bit more variety for longer stays.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room was a mix of good and bad - it was dangerous with a double bed but clean and comfortable, yet there were some cleanliness issues like hair around, dirty toilet seat, dusty floor, and even mayo packets scattered around. The bedsheet was dirty, and the towels were yellow. The bed itself wasn't very comfortable. The service, particularly from Thiago at reception, was superb, very friendly, and welcoming. They went out of their way to help, like parking our rental car for a fee when we arrived late at night. The location was amazing as it was just two blocks away from Copacabana Beach, surrounded by juice bars, restaurants, and shops. Even though the dining experience was disappointing with limited options and a crowded atmosphere, the homemade organic products were fine. The facilities were basic but enough to meet our needs.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The location was superb, just a stone's throw from the beach and in a safe area. However, the rooms felt outdated with black mold visible, and they were smaller than expected. The service was average, not very friendly, but they didn't charge for bed sheets daily, which was a plus. The dining options were limited but had a decent selection of fruits and bread. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel's facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is really close to the Copacabana beach and just a couple of blocks away, making it convenient for enjoying the beach and exploring the area. The rooms are comfortable, but some may find them basic with only the bed as the standout feature. The service is top-notch, especially the friendly staff in the dining area. The location is superb, near the beach and within easy reach of key attractions. The dining experience is good value for money but may need more variety. Overall, a decent hotel with great beach access and welcoming service.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff was friendly, the location was excellent near the beach, and there were some nice rooms. However, the rooms were very old and dusty, and the language barrier affected service quality.
