Porto Frade Holidays from £1,298

It's close to the airport, Santos Dumont. The room was huge but I didn't like the fact there were 3 beds in it: 2 twin and 1 king. No coffee maker. Headboard and night stands were very dated. Water pressure was strong and shower stall had shampoo and conditioner but no soap. Toilet has a bidet which I liked. I had a room facing the street and could street noise because the windows in the bathroom were kept open even though I had the bathroom door closed before going to bed. All the noise from the hallway i could also hear even with the room door was closed. Only 1 elevator was working and the voice on the elevator was quite loud. I didn't get to try the breakfast because I slept on so I couldn't comment on the quality and selection.

The service was superb. Property shows some wear after 10 years. Pool wasn’t heated as should be. Location is great and the simple but efficient beach service is a nice touch. Hopefully I’ll come back next year.

Great location. Rooms could be cleaner/fixed up a bit to remove signs of mould.

Superb location just a block away from the fames Ipanema beach. Lots of eateries within a few blocks. Metro is right next door which makes getting to Centro real easy even in heavy traffic. Staff was super helpful and cheerful. The room size is what I expect in Ipanema. Wish the bathroom is bit bigger and they should add a hand shower. I missed that after coming back from beach.

Great breakfast, nice staff, comfortable bed and room I will return
