Good location but average service and cleaniness
5.3
It was Carnaval period so all the hotels were very expensive. However, for the price paid, i certainly expected a decent level of cleaniness and service. Unfortunately, due to the high occupancy rate during that period, service was sloppy and cleaniness so-so.

I could not believe how bad this place was. First of all, I went to my assigned room and found the door open, the room not cleaned and generally looking like a construction site. A trek back to the reception resulted in getting a different room (although without anything resembling an apology), but in the end the new room was only marginally better. In fact, it felt like a motel in a bad neighborhood (and in Brazil a motel is priced by the hour). Specifically, I could not count the number of stains on the carpet, resting my arm on the desk resulted in black smudges, and the bed cover smelled like pee. In short, it was disgusting.
In addition, all amenities were extra. The internet that was supposed to be included in the price was so slow it was unusable. Paying an extra charge for high speed improved it a little, but the signal still kept dropping all the time. Also, I try to put my documents in a safe box in my room and after calling the reception I discovered that there was another charge for it daily. At least the breakfast was free, and while not fancy, I was surprised to find that it was edible.
In conclusion, this place was dirty and tried to charge me for basic amenities that should be included. The price is not cheap. Not recommended.

Conviently located hotel - helpful staff
good breakfast, great location, staff speak english
7.3
this hotel was in a good location, had a really nice breakfast and staff that were helpful and spoke english. the bar tender was also lovely and made awesome cocktails.
however, the rooms are quite basic and do not match the nicely appointed reception area.
i would have expected more from a "4 star" hotel. for the exhorbitant price we paid (granted it was new year) i definately had expected better rooms, however for normal (non nye non carnival) season this was fine.

great location, directly on the Avenida Atlântica
4.7
hotel has seen its best days.
If you like old charm, then this would be your hotel, but the furniture, the bathroom (rusty bathtubs) and the beds were old and worn out.
breakfast room was very busy and difficult to find a table.
the best is the location: directly on the Avenida Atlântica with a view on the Copacabana if you are lucky enough to get a room with a sea view (only about 30% of the rooms).

The locations was good and the service was OK, but not that friendly. Internet connection is slow , but can pay for faster.
Breakfast is good, although they don't have a toaster!
Rooftop pool is nice, but wi-fi doesn't work up there.

Old skool copacabana chic
Rooftop swimming pool and hammam, nice breakfast buffet
7.3
Well placed hotel with good service. At first the rooms look a little rundown but the modernist 50's touch has a certain charm. Safe area and good connections to praia, bus and metro siquiero campos literally just around the corner.
Sightseeing/Attractions Tip:
Take the quick bus to ipanema or leblon for even better beaches. At 8 reais the caipi's on the beach are potentially dangerous!

Rooms are OK, not too big, but also not too small. The hotel is correct, you´ll find the basic things you need. Location is good in Copacabana. Staff is not too nice and helpfull though.

The hotel is across the street from the Siqueira Campos subway. Many sucos nearby for food and drinks. There's also a supermarket close to do shopping for snacks, water,etc. The standard room is small and the sheets and a little weird smell. There is "free" internet at a slow rate but you still have to pay for each day I connected. There are two rates for faster connection. The in-room safe is not free which is a negative. They ask you during check-in if you are going to use it. Seems like a rip-off.
Great location but I'm sure there are better hotels for a better price.
