Excellent location - half way along Ipanema beach. Our sea view room was exactly what we expected - excellent view along the whole of Ipanema, Leblon and Arpoador beaches and out to the |Ilhas Cagarras. Very comfortable beds. Rooftop pool/bar views are unrivalled. Complimentary parasol/sunchair/towels

Hotel looked like it was in need of a refurb - rooms looked tired - lift lobby on our floor (6th) smelled damp at times (due to lack of ventilation?) despite air fresheners. Fitness centre??? More like a small room with minimal equipment. Breakfast was adequate at best - limited selection of food and not the best quality

Location

Hotel is rundown, could use a renovation

The location is just perfect! The rooftop pool area also super nice!

The location was excellent being right opposite the Ipanema Beach. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The Breakfast was good and the rooftop bar and pool with deck chairs was lovely. The Gym was good to have.

The check in was difficult we were asked to fill in forms that we had already filled in online a few times before. When we got to our room the Porter left us and I noticed that even though I had made a request some weeks back and got confirmation for 2 extra pillows they were not there so i had to call him back and he brought the pillow then we couldn't operate the safe so we had to call the Porter back again to show us how. The aircon was too high and again we had to call the porter to show us how to adjust it. Surely all the above could have been done on initial check in and not dump us with our luggage and then walk off. To get to the lovely Beach we had to cross vey busy highway which was tricky. The room looked much smaller than in the pictures on booking .com

This hotel is perfect. Great location for Rio. Been there many time but this place is the best. Great breakfast. Beach chairs, towels and umbrellas are free to use. Roof top pool is amazing. Stay herefor a great Rio experience

Gym was too small

Our view was spectacular. The employees made me feel welcome in a way that I rarely experience. They looked after our well-being when we were in the hotel as we as when we took excursions into the city. it did not matter weather it was a hotel sanctioned or just us venturing as a couple.

Location and view from rooftop excellent as were the drinks at the rooftop bar. Rooms spacious, clean and comfortable. View from room at night also excellent.

Lobby staff was robotic. Expect more from customer service at a nice hotel.

The staff! Very trevlig and helpful. They try to solve all problems and wishes to please the guests. The view from the pool area is spectacular! Very good location.

Some rooms from the back side can be a little dark with a sad and uncomfortable view. The pool area is very little! Maximum 8 people can enjoy att the same time for not be so crowded. Too little space for more "guarda sol". The pool itself is too little.

the location, the pool, the staff

the breakfast

The staff were excellent, in particular the friendliness of the breakfast chef, housekeeper Sandra and the women at reception.

it was overpriced for the standard of the hotel
