Serene spot for relaxation. Large pool long enough for me to swim laps. Spacious room with almost no street noise disturbance. Staff very attentive and kind, especially Guilherme and Vladimir at reception. Extensive breakfast selection with certain items cooked to your order.

John

Likes: great room size. Very quiet at night. Good block out curtains. Fast room service. Dislikes: breakfast service chaotic…kept running out of plates, cereal bowls, paper napkins (cocktail napkins instead), slow replenishment of food and slow staff. Guests unable to borrow iron and board. Only hotel ironing service available. Very limited bathroom toiletries.

I liked the breakfast and pool at this property. The neighborhood unfortunately has alot of homeless people on the streets and garbage but is good if you love music as the Lapa area has many music bars and restaurants. The staff is nice but they do not have too much knowledge about recommendations for swimable beaches and family activities.

This is a pleasant enough hotel in a very run down area of Rio. The hotel has seen better days. It uses Brazilian plugs but they have no adapters to lend or buy. The meal service is sketchy. Okay for a very short stay if you do not mind being a prisoner in the hotel at night. I stayed in a what was supposed to be a heritage room but most of the nice features had been stripped out.

It doesn’t feel like a 4.5 star hotel. The staff didn’t even bother to help with luggage or to say good morning. You get charged the water in the room. Most hotels give that for free. The pool didn’t seem all that clean either. It is located at a good spot since you have everything close by. Just be careful walking at night. It may not be safe.

The hotel itself was great! Extremely helpful and nice staff. The location was however not the best. I didn’t feel safe walking around at night alone or even with my partner. A lot of homeless near by and a lot of people told me that theft is very high in that part of town.

Food was just ok in my opinion. Breakfast was free but left a lot to be desired. Very clean and secure place but once you leave the premises you’re on your own and may see any and everything. But that’s all over Lapa. So if you’re faint of heart this may not be for you.

This is a beautiful luxury hotel, renovated from an old historic building, great location in downtown, which also means that you are near the great music bars in Rio, but also the surroundings could get tricky at night. The breakfast and swimming pool were great. Overall, a fantastic option if you want to stay in the Lapa area.
