Honestly the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Place is way outdated, and the pictures are not quite representative of the current state of the roomThere was mold on the walls, and the room beyond tiny. It smells very old. They would give you the iron for a charging fee. Luckily the staff was nice.

Good hotel and value for money. Clean, good breakfast. With a late night flight, leaving luggage for small fee safely and spend rest of day at rooftop pool area is a great option. A suggestion is to train the lobby staff to help out frontdesk staff with additional responsabilities when it is peak check in or check out.

The hotel is very old and lacks maintenance on many ends. You see things falling apart everywhere. The overall hotel is more like a 2/3 star hotel by western standards. Location is good just 2 blocks from the beach, not too loud and safe. The staff was also helpful when we approached them. We didn’t have a problem with our toddler at all. Nevertheless, I wouldn’t come again since the hotel is very old and not so clean (we had 2 cockroaches in our room).

Flatters to decieve
While on my trip to rio i stayed in 3 different hotels in Copacabana across ten days and i was looking forward to this one the most. 1. Checkin - arrived an hour and half early and could not checkin. This isnt an issue but then queues were really long at 2pm. The othet hotels allowed early checkin 2. Bag storage - to store bags before checkin and on check out the hotel added on a charge. In my opinion a 4* hotel should not do this. Also the bag storage area was not secure. It was located in the dining area and anyone could just walk in and grab valuables. I went back to my bag twice and nobody checked my slip. 3. Aircon - there didnt appear to be any aircon in the reception area or the restaurant area 4. Restaurant - the breakfast was easily the worst of the three hotels. Staff when picking up trays were eating the last things on the tray using their hands 5. Room - the room in general was quite nice but not the best out of the three 6. Shower - this was the worst shower out of the three. No real temperature control and bad pressure 7. Pool area - the pool area was very nice but one major downside was that they had no clean pool towels 8. Gym - several of the machines were broken. No wipe down facilities or water provided Out of the three hotels in Copacabana that i stayed in this was easily the worst. Considering it was also the most expensive is poor form from the hotel. There are plenty of other hotels in tbe same class and price range that i would consider before booking
