With famous landmarks like Escadaria Selarón just around the corner, it made exploring the city center easy. the receptionist who greeted us upon arrival was friendly and accommodating, great to check in early and enjoy a complimentary breakfast. The hot shower with strong water pressure was a welcome treat after a long day of sightseeing. Despite some minor inconveniences, the overall experience was positive, and we would recommend this hotel for its convenient location and helpful staff.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The location was perfect, being very near to the metro station and Santos Dumont Airport. Plus, it was conveniently close to bars and restaurants, so I had plenty of options for dining and entertainment. The staff was amazing, going above and beyond to assist me, despite language barriers. The breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of options like fresh fruit, eggs, sausage, and cold meats. The hotel facilities were great, with a large and clean room, comfortable beds, and a well-equipped bathroom. really good value for money!
Nothing at all.

We enjoyed the hotel's staff, rooms, and fair prices. Feijoada lunch during carnaval was excellent. The location was convenient, near popular attractions and a metro station. The breakfast had a variety of fruits.
Absolutely nothing.
