Rather small and worn out hotel in Rio within walking distance to Copacabana. The hotel lobby is nice – small but clean and you can read newspapers over cup of coffee. The rooms on the other hand are not so comfortable even though they are relatively large. The bathroom is pretty basic, no comfort and not too clean. The same... More

We stayed at this hotel in our trip to Rio to attend to Paul McCartney concert last May 2011. The hotel is located in Copacabana, the rooms are quite small and during the night it was possible to fell the cold inside the room (yes, cold in Rio, it was May). The breakfast was this typical brazilian with fruits, cooked... More

Good price for Copacabana. The Hotel was clean and the breakfast was good. Staff was very kind and helpfull. The parking is separeted from the hotel, 100 meters distance from the main entrance, but looks safe. I stayed just one night there and had no problem with noises. The rooms looks old but it was ok and clean. Good for... More

You pretty much have anything you need at apa hotel. The rooms are clean and not too small, there is a good breakfast (cheese, ham, fruits, different breads, ...) and you can find a minibar on your room. Besides, you can ask for tours at the reception but make sure to bargain as they do charge quite a bit more... More

A little old, looks it and smells it. Not exactly cheap, but for the prices in Copacabana these days the place is a bargain. Near enough to the beach and the underground, and away from the hustle of Atlantica. More

I had made my booking on-line well in advance through hotelclub.com, specifically requesting a room with a double bed. After travelling almost 50 hours non-stop from Australia via New Zealand and Chile, and having suffered flight delays and 4 suitcases lost in Sao Paulo, I arrived very tired and stressed at 00.30am. My first impression was bad. Dirty front steps... More

Highly recommended! Great price Hotel is not very charming, rooms are plain but very functional! Our room was large with a double bed, small kitchen table, 2 dining chairs, small fridge, free wifi and small balcony (perfect for drying towels and bathing suites). The bathroom was old green tile- ugly but clean and functional. The fridge was stocked with drinks... More

Only a couple of blocks back from Copacabana beach. Hotel is a bit dated and tiny elevator could only fit three people at a time. We didn't have too much of a problem with street noise as we were on the 6th floor. TV and wi-fi also worked 80% of the time. House-keeping could be arranged when convenient. Breakfast was... More

Good points: very good value, helpful staff, good location (5 min walk from Copacabana, many cafes, street-bars, metro station Cardeal Arcoverde, cash machines nearby, Banco do Brasil nearby if you need to change money - before 15:00!!), good breakfast (plentiful fruits, cake, egg, toast, cereal, ham, cheese - and they serve until 11am!), cable TV with many channels (inc. CNN,... More
