"Excellent Location of the property, everything walkable distance, so many facilities , restaurants, supermarkets, fresh juice corners and Copacabana beach very close by, very lively location and safe. Very helpful and friendly staff, breakfast was massive with so much variety, lovely food. Inside the rooms the tap was making very loud noise whenever we opened it in wash basin in the toilet to get water, that needs fixing otherwise all was very good. Very good hotel for the families and great value for money."
