Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a nice neighborhood area with a variety of great restaurants to choose from. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but a bit small with limited space to move around. The service was professional and polite, offering useful tips and guidance. The location was perfect for shopping and dining, although not overlooking the sea directly. The dining experience offered a delicious array of dishes but lacked proper distancing measures. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel is situated in an excellent location near Ipanema beach, ideal for exploring the beaches and enjoying nearby shops and dining options. The rooms, though not overly sophisticated, are tastefully decorated with a charming simplicity and always kept clean. The service is a mix of professional and helpful staff alongside moments of possible disinterest or rudeness. The dining experience may be a bit disappointing compared to other hotels. The overall value for money is good, especially considering the fantastic location near the beach and shopping street.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. Although the rooms were small, dark, and somewhat depressing, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, being close to Ipanema beach and other attractions, but the lack of an on-site bar was a drawback. The dining experience was good overall, with some tasty options but lacking in certain aspects.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was exceptional, close to both Ipanema beach and Lagoa, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms were quieter than expected, but being near the top floors helped. However, the rooms, especially on the first floor, were a bit noisy due to the AC units on the windows, and I couldn't switch rooms despite staying for three nights with daily client turnover.
