Guest sentiment
- Cleanliness5.8
Multiple reviews cite unclean rooms, hair in corners, dirty bathtubs and inconsistent housekeeping, so cleanliness is noticeably below average.
- Service9.2
Many guests praise reception staff (named staff like Roger, 'meninos da recepção', 'personal encantador') as attentive and helpful, though a few report rude desk interactions or invoice/NF issues.
- Location9.6
Consistently reported as excellent—walking distance to Copacabana/beach, close to metro, frequently listed as a main positive.
- Room Quality6.5
Mixed reports: some rooms described as impecável while others mention old/mushy beds, maintenance problems and lack of bedside lamps.
- Amenities8.2
Amenities (breakfast buffet, play area/brinquedoteca, jacuzzi in some units) are often present and liked, though there are complaints about slow elevators, occasional maintenance and a dirty playground.
- Value for Money6.8
Mixed sentiment: several guests call it poor value ('pior custo benefício', 'not worth the money') while others note good cost-benefit; overall slightly below target.
- Food and Beverage8.3
Breakfast is frequently mentioned for its variety and buffet, though some guests find it crowded or of uneven freshness/quality.
- Overall Experience8.0
Overall impressions are mixed but leaning positive due to great location and very good staff; however, cleanliness and some maintenance/value issues temper the experience.
Guest reviews
The staff was nice and well located. The breakfast is complete but lacks variety when you stay for more than a few days.

However, the hotel does not live up to its standard. The rooms need to be renovated and cleanliness is lacking.

TERRIBLE CHECK-IN: I have already stayed at this property and, in addition to the rudeness and obtuseness of the person at check-in, this time I received poor accommodation, with a malfunctioning air conditioning control. A second key was repeatedly denied (which, being two guests, is the basis of any hotel hospitality, having also worked in the industry) and only after a heated argument and repeated insistence was a second key given and a room change, however with a solution that I still do not consider up to the cost: poor sound insulation, noises from the electrical system, loud noises from using the bathroom taps (also from the next room). Absolutely not a good value for money compared to other stays in the past where I had given positive reviews. Bad this time.
