The hotel overlooks Botafogo beach, Sugar Loaf Mountain and, in the distance, Cristo Redentor. The staff is efficient and friendly, the rooms clean, the beds comfortable, the showers hot and powerful, the breakfast spread good …. The rooftop bar view is spectacular and the drinks and food good and not overpriced. There are bikes (iffy brakes!) which are great for cycling to Copocabana etc - there are cycle paths all the way. All in all, can thoroughly recommend, especially if you want to be near the big beaches but want to avoid the crowds

Hotel's Favorite
We stayed in the Sugar and Bossa room and did not regret it at all. The view from this room was just breathtaking..it was good to see the 2 highlights of Rio at all times of the day from the room while in bed. The rooms are big and comfortable, very thoughtfully designed to feel like home. We were in room 1210, you have 180 view of both the sugar loaf and Christ the redeemer mountain, even the bathroom has the Christ the redeemer looking down on you! The staff at the front desk and the breakfast area are just the best! We had arrived in a red eye and were leaving late in the day, they were very accommodating and adjusted check in check out times accordingly. The location of the hotel makes it a quick ride to the Sugarloaf and Corcovado as well as a quick access to Botafogo neighborhood. The included breakfast is good. Highly recommend this hotel! They were very helpful in getting onsite RT PCR test for the flight home.…

This hotel is in a great location and was perfect for our short stays during our tour of Rio. It is on a busy road but the noise is not really noticeable from the room. The location makes it easy to get around the different parts of the city and has the most amazing views of sugar loaf and christ the redeemer. A real wow moment from the roof top of Botafogo bay. Would recommend upgrading from a basic room as they are much nicer.

Fernanda is the best. She helped me out with a weird flight schedule. Great breakfast! There are free bikes to borrow. The rooftop deck is nice - shallow pool - and the restaurant up there has a good salmon salad and non-alcoholic drinks. Everyone working there is friendly. Convenient location with the usual Rio traffic.

As an only English speaking tourist, check in was very slow and difficult with the language barrier. Eventually we were able to go to our room which was nice - not mind blowing but modern, clean and light. We paid extra for a view of Christ the Redeemer but this also meant having a room by a very noisy road. Room was quite small and the air conditioning not very effective. The shower was fun - being able to look out on the Redeemer was great! The views from the rooftop bar were superb but the service was a little slow. Breakfast was fine - nice setting but inattentive service again and not a wide selection of items. This is a decent but expensive option in Rio.

Dear Mr. Scott, Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. Our team has been undergoing restructuring and we appreciate the comments sent. Because it is an urban hotel, our rooms have treated Acustica , exactly thinking of the external noises. We agree that the view of our Rooftop is indescribable and our service has been undergoing constant training to offer the best experience. Our café offers breads, cakes, cold and hot, freshly made items by our chef, as well as gluten-free, lactose-free and diets for more restrictive feeds. Thank you for receiving your review and we hope to welcome you at another time.

Yoo2 is my place to stay in Rio. It’s terrace is just the place to work, eat and relax; all at the same time. Look for Tainã for classic caipirinhas, made with a smile. He will make your stay nice and friendly

Great breakfast, gym and view of Sugarloaf. Special thanks to the staff including Leandro for helping us borrow a bike to ride around the waterfront. The rooms have a nice decor but unfortunately the floors are a bit old. Also the street noise is quite loud if your window is facing the road behind the hotel.

Dear Rambo, We were very happy to have taken the time to evaluate ourselves! Mainly citing names of our team. We take this opportunity to point out that our hotel has undergone revitalizations, which will make it even more welcoming. Our windows, being an urban hotel, have acoustic treatment, to make the environment even more comfortable. Our hotel has the bossa carioca, which embraces and welcomes all our guests, making the experience memorable. We hope you return soon!
