The hotel is located in a perfect spot, central to everything in Botafogo. The room was nice, but the toilet was wedged in a tight space. And beware when showering the fluctuation between hot and cold when other rooms are showering at the same time. The staff seem to always be there when you wanted to ask a question or ask directions. Gabriel at the front desk was always willing to go out of his way to help me or any other guest that was in the lobby. The rooftop bar and Resteraunt was a great place to grab a bite, have a drink and enjoy the view. The breakfast was very nice, it had everything you could want for breakfast.. Overall a great little place as long as you watch out for the temperature of the water in the shower.
