Stayed here several times while in Rio as part of my job in tourism. Have to say that I find it very good with friendly staff (not many english speakers amongst them though), great breakfast, a small outdoor pool area and very close to the action if you are in Rio for Carnival. Also, for getting around the city, buses... More

Clean and tidy hotel with good sized rooms and all mod-cons. Main downside for us was the noise! Massive air-con unit right outside on our balcony-and wasn't even our unit. Unable to sleep through the noise, staff not really interested and unable to move us. Would have been awful if my husband hadnt found the external off switch....resulted in better... More

Just spend 2 weeks at this hotel, and rate it as good. Rooms are very clean, and breakfast is terrific. Staff at desk were a bit reserved and not exactly effusive, but they were polite and efficient. I changed rooms twice (!) first time because my room was too close to rua Monte Alegre, which runs up the side of... More

Stayed over New Years a two years back but it deserves a kudos. Lapa is actually a beautiful district and the bars were great fun. We were on a budget and this place was affordable because New Years prices get jacked up as well as most places implementing a 4-5 day mandatory stay. We had only booked part of our... More

Avery average hotel in the poorer section of the town. The rooms are very small, and pokey. The cleanliness was good and the staff appeared to be friendly. The quality of the food served at breakfast was decent buffet with a lot of choices in cereal, fresh fruits, cheese and eggs. There is a pool too which is outdoors. Its... More

There was at least one guy at the hotel speaking English well. Lots of good, price worthy restaurants and pubs nearby. Good air condition. The rooms were bigger than expected for the price. A supermarket is located at the other side of the road. Not too far walking to the subway from the hotel. The hotel is an old colonial... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here during Rio's Carnaval in February and found it to be quite nice for the cost. During Carnaval, the hotels all over Rio increase their prices signifigantly, and this one was affordable. It is right near Lapa, which we had heard horror stories about, concerning crime, muggings, etc., but had absolutely no problems whatsoever. In... More

We stayed here as part of a 4 day carnival package booked with Tucan & were incredibly disappointed. This is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. The hotel is in Lapa, which is a bad area of Rio. Three armed guys tried to steal our daypack from the food court at Bob’s (the Brazilian version of McDonalds’s)!! The... More
