Also the tap in the shower had been spun out from the wall so wouldn't work, but we screwed back on ourselves once we figured it out. Mattress needed replacing or cleaning. Good location next to the selaron steps, markets and Lapa for food and bars. Breakfast had a nice selection. Rooftop bar was an added bonus. Quiet inside the hotel. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 1 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities They have a bar on the rooftop with DJ, magnificent view of Lapa in the night, sometimes they close the bar at 10:30pm, you have a welcome drink from 5:00pm to 5:30pm so don't be late. ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dennis E 11 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked that the staff was very accommodating and it was easy to find but I didn't like that YOU HAD TO LABEL FOOD OR DRINKS OR THEY GET THROWN OUT! ##### Dennis E Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Siu Shan 28 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good Good location.

Nice rooftop bar, helpful staff. Small dorm for 8, no towel provided. ##### Stuart Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar 2 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s a awesome hotel they have a kitchen so you can cook and save money a library my room didn’t have hot water but maybe that’s normal in Brazil the area is kinda scary to walk around at night but in the day time is pretty safe ##### Oscar Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Holly 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good location & nice staff The staff were super lovely and the property is in a good location. The rooms are nice but I think we were just a bit unfortunate to get one without a working extractor fan which made the room a bit damp and smelly... we did let them know but we were only there for a short time! Wifi was good Kitchen could do with a few more spoons! ##### Holly Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [JW Marriott Hotel Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Rio-De-Janeiro.h564457.Hotel-Information) > > [Copacabana Palace, A Belmond Hotel, Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Copacabana-Palace.h7130.Hotel-Information) > > [Miramar by Windsor Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Miramar-By-Windsor-Copacabana.h9027.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Glasgow](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Glasgow.h22384544.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Othon Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Rio-Othon-Palace.h24526.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Plaza Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Plaza-Hotel.h444671.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Nacional-Rio.h42275495.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Mercure Rio de Janeiro Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Grand-Mercure-Rio-De-Janeiro-Copacabana.h10590.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Belstead Brook Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Muthu-Belstead-Brook-Hotel.h973266.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Barra Rio De Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Radisson-Barra-Rio-De-Janeiro.h13455131.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Newark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newark-Hotels.d6131281.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Windsor Palace Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Palace-Hotel.h688868.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Rio-Hotel-Resort.h10581.Hotel-Information) > > [PortoBay Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-PortoBay-Rio-De-Janeiro.h14441.Hotel-Information) > > [Orla Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Orla-Copacabana-Hotel.h889673.Hotel-Information) > > [Arena Copacabana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Arena-Copacabana-Hotel.h3094577.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Barra Rio De Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hilton-Barra-Rio-De-Janeiro.h8375625.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Leme Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Leme-Hotel.h877312.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor Excelsior Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-Excelsior-Copacabana.h43999.Hotel-Information) > > [Windsor California Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Windsor-California-Hotel.h22117011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Bandeirantes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Bandeirantes.h526868.Hotel-Information) > > [Ritz Hotel Leblon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Ritz-Hotel-Leblon.h8471084.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila d'este Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Buzios-Hotels-Vila-Deste-Handmade-Hospitality-Hotel.h4603771.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Rio-De-Janeiro.h11601353.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Fairmont-Rio-De-Janeiro-Copacabana.h174198.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Rio de Janeiro Leme](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Novotel-Rio-De-Janeiro-Leme.h53295.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hilton-Copacabana-Rio-De-Janeiro.h4100177.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fasano Rio de Janeiro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rio-De-Janeiro-Hotels-Hotel-Fasano-Rio-De-Janeiro.h1542064.Hotel-Information) ### Activities
