Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable and well-located for easy access to nearby places, but they didn't feel particularly clean. On the bright side, the room came with a fantastic bonus we didn't find in any other stay during our trip - a kettle with tea and coffee. The view of the beach was lovely despite being opposite some flats.
I had an amazing time at the hotel! The rooms were clean and comfortable with a balcony overlooking Copacabana, making it an excellent choice. Although our room wasn't ready until 2pm, which was expected, it was always clean as can be. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff setting up chairs, umbrellas, and towels, and even getting us drinks. The location, right on Copacabana Beach, was absolutely the best, only two blocks from Copacabana Palace. Dining was excellent, offering fresh fruits and local delicacies. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable but had some noise from the main road below. The staff provided excellent recommendations for city tours and restaurants; however, my stay on the 7th floor was affected by maintenance works being held.
I was really looking forward to spacious rooms, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. On the bright side, I did have a room with a beautiful view and a balcony that allowed me to enjoy the heat. The old door key system was a bit inconvenient, though.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and in good condition, but the view was somewhat limited from above the 6th floor. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff ready to assist with any questions. The location was fantastic, right in front of the beach, but some nearby prices were a bit high. The dining options were good but could be improved. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
Staying at this lovely hotel in a panoramic sea view room was truly special. The views were worth paying extra for, but the rooms were rather dark and small. The service at the bar rooftop was attentive and lovely, adding to a pleasant experience overall. The location, just across from Copacabana Beach, offered amazing views and easy access to the main attractions, though occasional noise from neighboring rooms was a downside. The dining options were decent, although there could have been better hot selections. The facilities were satisfactory, contributing to a comfortable stay.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms had a great view of the beach and were super comfortable with all amenities and complimentary toiletries. Of course, being so close to the beach and islands was a huge plus. The service was excellent, and the staff, from Max at the beach to Nathalia at the front desk to Daniella and Carlos at the restaurants, were super friendly and helpful. The location was superb for walking around the area, right opposite the beach with wonderful views over Copacabana Beach, making it a top choice. The dining experience was spectacular with the best staff in Rio, an enough reason to stay here by its own. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a great view of the beach, allowing me to witness the beautiful sunrise over Copacabana. However, there was a lingering smell due to humidity, and unfortunately, we experienced theft in our room.
