I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the location is fantastic, perfectly situated between the beautiful Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made my stay more pleasant. However, the rooms felt quite dated and could use some renovation. The dining options were also underwhelming, leaving much to be desired, especially for breakfast.

The hotel has an excellent location, right between Copacabana and Ipanema, which made beach access super easy. The rooms were clean but a bit worn down and didn’t quite match my expectations of comfort. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which was a nice plus. However, the dining options left much to be desired, and it was disappointing that it took a long time to check in because our room wasn’t ready until the afternoon.
