I think the hotel is nice, and considering it's location and other hotels in the area, I found it reasonably prised. The room that we had had no view at all but Rio is so beautiful that u do not stay much time in the room anyway! The breakfast is very nice, much better than I expected and the hotel... More

I initially chose this hotel based on my Trip Advisor research of hotels in the area. I was celebrating my birthday and wanted to splurge. I initially booked the reservation via Expedia for 1 person but decided to bring my brother. The rate change for an extra person was $173USD (66 Reals/day) for my 4 night stay. We stayed in... More

Esmerada atención de todos sus empleados. Ubicación muy central en el sector de Copacabana, con vista al mar. Habitaciones normales no lujosas, lo propio para un edificio con bastantes años de construcción. Reitero la excelente atención, un desayuno extraordinario. Solamente dos pequeños inconvenientes: Cobran internet wifi (en pleno siglo XXI) y a mi cuenta le agregaron dos botellas de agua... More

Very well located in Copacabana, it offers a very good service, excellent breakfast, helpful staff and surrounded by restaurants, shops and just across the street from the beach. It also offers its guests a beach service. Right beside the traditional Copacabana Palace Hotel More

We spent two (2) consecutive nights on a business trip. The hotel was clean and located directly across from the beach. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Walking distance to the city, shopping and restaurants. Internet access was very expensive. The buffet restaurant food was good, but got repetitive. Great roof top view of beach, mountains and Christ Statute. More

This is a good hotel with little to complain about but it is expensive and can only justify the cost because of the location on the beachfront avenue. It is fairly modern glass building, good reception area, very clean and many helpful staff. Our room was clean, quite spacious and we had a side view of the beach and Christ... More

The location is great, right on Copacobana beach. The staff are very helpful and excellent at making arrangements and advice for restaurants, tours, shops, cash machines, taxis etc. The hotel provides a taxi service which is only marginally more expensive than a normal cab and is reliable. Our room was fantastic, a corner room looking straight out onto the beach... More

Stayed here for a week in August with wife and 9 year old son. Great location, right across from the beach. Free chair/umbrella service on beach. Small rooftop deck and pool. This hotel reminds me of a US style Hilton. Was once new but isn't now. Kind of upper end but not really. Once you realize that, you'll be happy.... More
