Centric location, close to pharmacies, food places etc. Walking distance from the beach. Overall, clean areas, comfortable bed and quiet. Great buffet for breakfast. Overall, it was a great experience, and it felt safe. The staff were nice.
The room looks outdated, but everything works properly.

I liked the convenience, the hotel location and the staff were amazingly nice.
I didn’t like or better, I wished the room came with a iron for clothes, toilet brush and the stick to unclog because it clogged twice and tv remote was dead.

Great place to stay in Copacabana. Beach is just a walk a way including easy walk to Ipanema and Leblon. If you like to relax and swim at the beach or even a day tour of Rio, this is a great place to stay.

This property was just okay. The interior really needs to be updated. The pictures online are either outdated or pictures of a new room that I was not in. I thought there was a pool, there wasn't. The area seemed to be safe. I loved the fact that it was literally a couple of minutes form Copacabana beach. The breakfast was just okay as well. You get what you pay for. My experience wasn't terrible, i'd stay here again.

They have an amazing breakfast there! The rooms are pretty good! The elevator on the left kept getting stuck though, and me, and my fiancé were stuck in the elevator for 30 minutes and nobody could hear us.
