    stunning view
    friendly staff

    They were absolutely amazing, very friendly and ready to help us with anything we needed! And that rooftop pool? it had an incredible view of the beach, perfect for just chilling out after a long day of exploring. You can soak up some sun, have a drink, and enjoy the surroundings.

    Wasn't the cheapest place around but it was still worth it.

    Deluxe sea view rooms, excellent concierge service, rooftop terrace with pool

    The facilities look tired and dated!!! A coffee machine charging 9 real for each pod is excessive!!! Our room near the lift was noisy which disrupted our sleep even with air conditioning rattling!!!

    The side view of the beach offered a pleasant ambiance during my stay. The terrace with its stunning views provided a wonderful experience for leisurely evenings.

    The room could benefit from better sound insulation.

    great breakfast
    cold room

    Amazing location!

    The rooftop pool with a view of Sugarloaf Mountain was a highlight! Breakfast was great, but the room felt a bit cold since there was no remote for the A/C. Easy to grab a cab outside too. Plus, the bar area by the pool was chill.

    rooftop pool
    michelin-star restaurant

    The rooftop pool has stunning views and is perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The hotel allows beach towel and chair service across the street, which is a huge plus. Also, being near a Michelin-star restaurant gave us a great dining option. Our corner room was a gem with tons of natural light.

    Felt taken care of, no complaints.

    rooftop bar
    good vibe

    Just a solid selection for a quick layover in Rio de Janeiro with reasonable value. The rooftop bar had a great vibe and was perfect for unwinding after a long day. Just be aware the rooftop pool is quite small.

    I loved the stunning views from the rooftop pool and the extensive breakfast buffet. Our room, while slightly dated, was comfortable and bright. The location couldn't be better, just steps from the beach! A minor hiccup with the room decor didn't overshadow a great stay.

    great location
    stunning views
    leaking sink
    slow check-in
    poor air conditioning

    The location of the hotel is unbeatable, just a few steps from the beach. The pool area offers stunning views of the beach and Christ the Redeemer, a true highlight. The check-in process was a bit slow, but the staff remained friendly throughout my stay. I appreciated the complimentary breakfast with a great selection, especially the fresh fruit. My room was comfortable, though there were some issues. The air conditioning didn't work properly, and the shower could use an update. I encountered a leak in the sink that needed attention. Despite some setbacks with the room, the staff were helpful when I brought up the concerns. The dining options were limited and pricey. Overall, great location and decent service but needs some maintenance.
