A couple of blocks in from the beach in Leblon. Lovely neighborhood with loads of restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. I had been afraid to go to Rio because of stories about violence. Within a day of checking in at this hotel, I felt very much at ease. We stayed at the Promenade Palladium at each end of... More

In 2007 this was surely the best hotel in town. The location is still unbeatable, near everything that's cool about Leblon (the place to be in Rio). Service is still great, being a small hotel has it's advantages as receptionists are more human and less robotic. Most of them are here for about 2-3 years. However the rooms are getting... More

We loved the location of this Leblon hotel. In a great neighbourhood and surrounded by many restaurants and bars. We had issues with our room when checking in, we found that the balcony door would not lock as it was broken. When we reported this to the receptionist she told us that it was ok because none of them locked... More

Great place to stay in Rio. Close to the beach. Excelent towels and breakfast! Need some minor improvements. More

The hotel is close to Leblon Beach and to the best bars/restaurants around. Nice rooms and good breakfast. Every time I travel to Rio I stay here, it´s not fancy (it´s an apart hotel), but it fits perfectly for a weekend. More

As per the previous reviews, the location of this place is perfect. Great neighborhood, very safe, even at night. The lobby and staff are also quite nice. The rooms are terrible, another traveller on this board accurately equated them to Motel 6 rooms. I would say at least Motel 6 is cleaner. Rooms here are musty, moldy, and there are... More

As most of Rio de Janeiro's hotels, this follows as being very expensive for what it offers. The room is good, but nothing to be of great memory. The service is very courteous, and the breakfast buffet is excellent. Location is great, with easy access to Leblon beach and public transport. More

Hotels in Rio are notoriously expensive and it's also easy to wind up staying in a dangerous part of town. We therefore spent a long time picking our Rio accommodation for a three day stay at the end of nine weeks of traveling. In short, we feel we couldn't have made a better choice. Promenade Palladium is in perhaps the... More

Security is always a concern when visiting Rio but this hotel and its location offer assurance on that front. The side street its on is a little dark at night but stay on the main street side rather than wandering towards the seafront and it'll be fine. Great choice of quality pubs, restaurants and cafes in the locale, loved Kopenhagen... More
