The staff were excellent from check in to check out, the property itself is beautiful in an old, but updated colonial property. I stayed in one of the apartments right beside the pool and terrace, and even while you were situated with a walkway outside the room, I felt safe and comfortable enough to open the windows wide and take a nap or do whatever within the room. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to explore the beautiful Rio de Janeiro! ##### Gary Stayed 11 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alceir 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Amenities Excellent staff.very clean good location ##### Alceir Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alceir 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location.

Other than that, a great stay! ##### Bjorn Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The location is great! The facilities are good, too. The room was good, too, but you can hear next door depending on the room assignment (some rooms share a door with next door, that’s why their noises will be audible). The bathroom is good; the shower head had the right pressure, but the lights could be brighter in there. I didn’t get the chance to experience the pool or the bar. Breakfast was wonderful, with many options of pastries, fruits, and omelets. ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 6 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful hotel in the middle of everything. ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger 17 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel.
