Convenient location and excellent value!

An excellent choice that you might wish to consider! The staff was very welcoming and friendly and overall this is a great hotel choice based on its location and value. The hotel is conveniently located only one block from Praia Shopping Botafogo and also convenient to the metro line (2 blocks away). The entire staff worked hard to ensure our comfort - from the wonderful breakfast buffet to attending to all of our needs to providing wonderful service. Muito abrigado, Plaza Spania!

Staff & service was very cordial and helpfull, however the room had seemed like it had unfinished construction work, like cement on the bathroom floor, some infiltration on the bathroom and some spots of painting on random places, besides that it was an okay room.

Room was clean and in a very good location to access the city between copacabana beach and the historical centre. However a slight damp smell in the room but overall the stay was very worth the money and the breakfast was good.

The location was excellent, not much English was spoken but understandable due to staying away from copacabana. Everything was explained perfectly and there was 24/7 staff ready to help. Rooms got cleaned everyday if you dropped off your key (get explained) and my favourite was the breakfast as it was fresh and filling. Rooms were cool and it was perfect for my use of using the hotel just to sleep as we were outside majority of the time.

Awesome place

Had a great stay, very nice hotel ans good staff. They are really friendly, have a nice solo artist on the weekend’s. Location is really amazing, it definitely felt safer than Copacabana. The breakfast is awesome ans their cakes. The room I had was small but it is expected for the price. I would stay longer, my only complaint is there is no natural sunlight. The rooms are inside so there are no windows for outside. If it had that, would definitely staid longer. I definitely recommend the place and I definitely would return.

Was great for a small trio of mid-20s guys who were looking for a different food and bar scene than what can be found in Copacabana. The short walk to Botafogo metro station was very useful and allowed us to skip ordering an uber to/from the beach during high traffic times. Great bars and places to eat. Never felt unsafe. The hotel is simple but clean. Location was the biggest highlight.

Não recomendo! O Hotel não é bem cuidado, muito mofo nós quartos e problemas. O atendimento também é bem ruim. Exigimos trocar de quarto pois vazamento no ar-condicionado alagou todo o quarto, péssima experiencia.

Pontos positivos: A localização do hotel e a cama confortável. Pontos de melhoria: O atendimento da recepção as recepcionistas não foram tão cordiais, nem pessoalmente, nem por WhatsApp. O café da manhã não é tão bom (basicamente fruta e pão). O quarto era minúsculo, só com 1 tomada no quarto e outra no banheiro, muito mofo, ar-condicionado sujo e cheio de mofo. Para quem passou o dia fora foi ok, mas não voltaria lá.
