The service was AMAZING! The staff were so welcoming and caring and I definitely would come back! A bit far from most activites and famous spots such as ipanema and Copacobana but still a nice place to stay.

Hotel was ok, breakfast was average, staff don’t speak English and a bit unhelpful. Room is tiny. Best part of this hotel is location next to shopping centre.
