Not a bad spot in a good location, five minutes walk from Iponina beach, good location for restaurants and cafe's and seems a safe area. The rooms are ok but basic, standard tv, limited English speaking and the bathrooms functional even if the shower is for the slim. Beds are ok bug not great. The bar is a cemetry with... More

We stayed at this hotel for four nights during Carnaval. I have never been to Rio before and had been told that prices get crazy during Carnaval so I don't have any prior experiences to compare to in terms of value. We had three people staying in a one room suite. There was a king sized bed in the separate... More

I have to agree with earlier reviews and the problem lies with the GMr/owner (I won't give his name) of the hotel. It is expensive but for that you expect service and to be able to discuss problems rationally. I had the hotel safe key stolen and they wanted to charge R$300 (£115 approx)for it to be opened. No master... More

Really is too bad this place is run by people who are totally clueless to hospitality. Not only do they overcharge you for the internet access, which only works 20% of the time, but they will also erroneously charge you on the final bill...be careful!...and then still give you a hard time about it. I had to make five long-distance... More

The hotel starts great, nice room, awesome view, nice space, smily staff, dont bother you with paperwork...you name it. Then the price is high, but U think "hey, it´s Leblon, the nicest place of Rio". Next thing is the morning coffee, I am not too picky, but I´ve seen wayyyyyyyy better for what they are pretending to be. Internet is... More

Hotels in Rio´s Zona Sul are typically very expensive and old, making them horrible value. The Ritz Plaza in Leblon is a pleasant exception. It has been recently renovated and it is located at the heart of Leblon, near some of the best restaurants in the city. You should be able to get a room for under R$350/night (US$200), salty... More

Definetely overpriced. Rooms are small and spartan, but the all-white furniture is new. The location is very good, if noisy. The breakfast is standard, but the coffee was lukewarm and weak. At the reception we were told that there was a small safe in the room at the cost of around six dollars a day. When I declined, they put... More

Exteremly epensive i.e. 400$ per day for a suite of 4. Greedy in charging extras such as internet access and safe in room. Far from being a warm hospitality. The suite was very nice. Great location. More

Positive: - Good location in Leblon. Close to the beach, shops, restaurants. - Room is clean. Negative: -This is not a luxury hotel. - Room furniture, decor, bathroom is basic. - Absolutely overpriced for what they offer. We paid 380RB and it is not worth more than 200 More
