Location: very good, in the beginning of Copacabana beach, in front of the beach, next to the subway. Room: confortable, with a lateral balcony facing the sea, standard double bed. Bathroom: noisy, it would take almost 30 minutes to stop the noise after each flush, the toilet seat was too close to the wall and to a tap in order... More

The staff in this hotel are exemplary; they provide the level of hospitality one hopes to find when traveling but is rarely truly experienced. The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, multi-lingual, and just simply pleasant. How refreshing! Hiring exceptional people to deal with the international public is not done by accident: I commend your process and your selections.

Recently stayed at this location in the heart of Copacabana Beach very near Copacabana Palace. Being across the beach was incredible. My room on the 17th floor had a fantastic view - to the left was the beach, to the right was a view of the Cristo. The top floor had a pool, health club and bar. Since it rained... More

I stayed at this hotel in March. The price and location are excellent. Right on Copacabana Beach (couple of hundred yards from the beach volley=ball stadium). Absolutely gorgeous view from the rooftop bar and pool area, Corcovado on one side and Copacabana on the other. The building itself has a 70s vibe, with good size.rooms. The bathrooms need to be...
